Re: How Do You Make a PB & J?

I'm not picky about the bread. A moderate layer of PB on one side each of both slices. Drizzle honey from the honey bear on one slice; put slices together and cut diagonally. Husband who slices sandwiches into rectangles gets a tongue-lashing; rectangles are improper for grown men.

Variations:
--Jam or preserves instead of honey; must be seedless; no marmalade allowed.
--Applesauce instead of J, and use raisin bread (my mom found this recipe in a cookbook or magazine somewhere)
--Add sliced cheese and/or lunchmeat; deli slices are fine, but use a thick slice of bologna for sheer gluttony

Question: Is the USDA recommended 2 tablespoons of PB per serving a viable quantity?

Story:
When I was in college, a group of us drove on a long trip. I was riding shotgun in the van, and the people in the back seats were making sandwiches. Having recently learned of the horrendous practice of making PB J's with PB on only one slice, and only J on the other, I instructed our gourmet chefs to put the PB on BOTH slices. Which they did. Somehow I didn't hear their snickering until they handed me the "sandwich."

PB on both SIDES of the slices!
