Lunch, Anybody?

[swanson_eyes]

I haven't eaten anything today save for my usual mocha. Trying to eat minimally today, as I overdid it yesterday. But I need some protein. I'll probably have that mushroom balsamic chik'n out of the freezer, maybe some soup beside. But there are always eggs. hmmm....

I agree, and that goes beyond peanuts. I eat some kind of nuts or legumes every day.

One of life's great mysteries to my tiny brain is the whole "legume-nut" divide. I believe peanuts are actually not nuts but legumes (there's a word that could use an image upgrade) which is where I stopped listening to the blah, blah, blah and just said, who cares, they are called peanuts and they'll always be in the nut family to me. I'm not going to stop Planter's Mr. Peanut on the street and hurt his feeling with some nerdy definition that undermines his whole senses of self - who could be so mean?

Kinda like the Pluto thing. Pluto is a planet no matter what some scientist - with his or her well-argued dissertation about the definition of a planet - says. Peanuts are nuts; Pluto is a planet and if the only way to make someone happy about that is to "grandfather" them in - then so be it.

Seemingly popular in old Germany:
A slice of grey-bread, crunchy-peanutbutter with jam/marmalade on top. I always forget to try it, finally.

With some tweaking, in America, we call that a PB&J (for peanut butter and jelly) sandwich - quite tasty.

And I might go so far as to add that hundreds of thousands of Americans (myself included) would have starved to death without them growing up.

Yes. I like grape jam (not jelly--ewwww). Know what else is good? Almond butter and strawberry jam or preserves.

Grape is my least favorite jam or jelly. Raspberry or strawberry are probably my favorite with peanut butter, but I also like blackberry, peach, blueberry, and jalapeño. Almond butter is very good. So is cashew butter. Peanut butter is cheap, though, so it wins out. My kids can wreck a jar in one sitting.

Blackberry is my favorite!

My oldest isn't a big pb fan, but the rest of the kids love it

Forest Fruits or similar (the ones imported from Europe that American companies don't make) are my favorite. They are a mix of berries, maybe cherries, sometimes currants.

I enjoy almost all the jams, jelly, etc. (and love jalapeño for the heat), but I noticed one of my favorites - apricot - didn't make the list, so wanted to throw it into the mix. It pairs quite nicely with peanut butter. Oh, as does a good cherry preserve.

 

[Vera Godfrey]

I love cherry jam, too! Yum! I made my own last summer. Messy, but worth it!

Bratkartoffeln with caraway-seed (and then pommes-spicing) are ready in ten minutes. Plus rollmops and fried-herrings. Yummy.

I haven't had breakfast, so it'll be brunch today, whatever it is. I'm going to the dentist and have to eat out. Probably going to be Starbucks or a burger place.

I hope everything goes well & you don’t have pain of any sorts.

 

[swanson_eyes]

I need a filling replaced because it's 10 years old and I need a crown (which can wait until next year if finances dictate). The only painful is the possible copay if I get both done.
