For my lunch, I’ve been on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich streak for several weeks now. I like how easy it is to shop for ingredients – one visit to the grocery store lasts for two weeks.
In the past, I’ve alternated between grape and strawberry jelly, but recently I’ve been using only strawberry. And actually, I use jam, because I find it’s easier to spread. This past week, due to bad planning, I ran out of strawberry jam before I ran out of days of the week. Fortunately, I still had some raspberry jam left from when I made a birthday treat for my coworker. Unfortunately, I don’t really like raspberry jam on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Fortunately, I am out of raspberry jam and out of bread, so it’s time for another trip to the grocery store.
Don’t you just hate when you run out of before you run out of week? I particularly hate when that valuable item is disposable income, but I can see where the proper “fixins” for a PBJ could put one into crisis mode, too. Hoping a grocery run soon puts lunches back into balance for you, sir.
OK, that was supposed to say: “Don’t you just hate it when you run out of [insert valuable item here] before you run out of week?” Since I used the dreaded “less than/greater than” signs to frame the insert – it disappeared. Live and learn.
Huh, raspberry jam is my favorite pairing with peanut butter. I love all those little crunchy seeds! I am sorry that you had to suffer through it, though.
You are right about spreading jelly. It is a pain in the butt.
Wow….you put a lot of peanut butter & jelly on your bread. I only use grape jam. Mmmmm…..nothing like a good PB&J on fresh bread!
