I have a cousin who used to put jelly on one half and peanut butter on the other for both slices.lake_wrangler wrote:I've done it both ways before... Admittedly, it is somewhat messier, if you put the jam on top of the peanut butter on the same slice.
On the other hand, I always make my peanut butter and honey sandwiches by putting the honey directly on the peanut butter (of which there is a sufficient thickness), then mix the two together before putting the other slice of bread on top...

You can do that by halves, quarters, or in more involved patterns.Gyrrakavian wrote:I have a cousin who used to put jelly on one half and peanut butter on the other for both slices.
The more intricate your "painting" of each half, the trickier it is to get the two slices to align properly when you put them together so that you get a proper radio of PB and J at each spot.

Re: Told You 2017-04-03
It's difficult... particularly getting the slice of peanut butter or the slice of jelly to stay in the proper shape until you can give it the support of some bread.AmriloJim wrote:Never considered discrete assembly of a PB/J.

Freeze, saw, assemble, thaw.
Do remember to rinse the tools well before taking them out of the freeze-room, though.

Could be worse. If she were an aquatic para, we'd be arguing about peanut butter and jellyfish.

Peanut butter on both sides, jelly on the one.

When I told Mrs. the Poet about the technical discussion of the proper way to build a PB&J she just kind of looked at me funny and rolled her eyes.

I have a feeling Kate would react the same, which is why i haven't told her.Opus the Poet wrote:When I told Mrs. the Poet about the technical discussion of the proper way to build a PB&J she just kind of looked at me funny and rolled her eyes.

Re: Told You 2017-04-03
Wow, to think a person could over think making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich... Just keep it simple, spread each on a slice by itself, and there you go.
There is no such thing as a science experiment gone wrong.

Re: Told You 2017-04-03
If using jelly, like grape jelly, or some such, I would agree. I find jelly to be easier to spread on bread than on peanut butter.Alkarii wrote:Wow, to think a person could over think making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...

However, when it comes to jam, like a good strawberry jam, where it's nice and viscous, with big chunks of strawberries mixed in, it goes right on top of the peanut butter, as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Told You 2017-04-03
Now here's a twist I thought about earlier today between irritations at work- triple-decker! Three slices of bread and pb/j. Now comes the discussion! PB between two slices then jelly between second and third, or pb on one slice, jelly on next, lay jelly slice on top of pb slice then add more pb to top of jelly slice and jelly to third slice? And how about which one on bottom/top for two slicers? Crunchy or smooth? Or how about that stuff where both were swirled into the same jar? I haven't looked for it in the store in a long time, so don't know if it is still even available.Dave wrote:And, if truth be known, there is a great deal of historical precedent for serious disagreements about peanut-butter lunches being taken to school.lake_wrangler wrote:If using jelly, like grape jelly, or some such, I would agree.

And then there's the fun of putting a smear of pb on the roof of a dog's mouth... poor Jasper...

Perhaps just cover every surface in the kitchen with slices of bread, then toss in a few handfuls of paintball grenades that are filled with either peanut butter or jelly?
Re: Told You 2017-04-03
They'd best be Doc's special grenades, or the coverage will be uneven.Catawampus wrote:Perhaps just cover every surface in the kitchen with slices of bread, then toss in a few handfuls of paintball grenades that are filled with either peanut butter or jelly?

Re: Told You 2017-04-03
Yeah, but if you're using jam, it isn't a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Though, with jam not being as runny as jelly, you can probably make a peanut butter and jam sandwich using methods that would make a bit of a sticky mess if you had used jelly.lake_wrangler wrote:If using jelly, like grape jelly, or some such, I would agree.

Correct. It's proof that if you keep pectin away at a problem, you'll usually find a solution.Alkarii wrote:Yeah, but if you're using jam, it isn't a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
