Man you ARE weird!! You use 2 knives??? Heck, I just wipe the peanut butter off the knife on the top slice, stick the knife back in the jelly, smear it on the peanut butter, wipe the knife off again on the top slice. No cross contamination going on with my sandwiches. biggrin

Actually, I put peanut butter on both sides. But I put only enough peanut butter on the jelly side to keep the jelly from soaking through the bread.

Pambo · Waiting To Be Widowed

Oh, I hate cross-contamination of the jelly. I don't like peanut butter so when it gets it the jelly it grosses me out & I can't use the jelly anymore. Same with butter. I hate it when someone gets it in the jelly. EW!

I am not obsessive compulsive.

Figures. You like 2 peanut butters. I like 2 Jellies.

Hey! You guys could do the whole reeses commercial. Mema in one car fixing her peanut butter sandwich and Pambo fixing her jelly sandwich in her car and bam head on collision!

I put peanut butter on both sides. PBJ's don't hold me over for long so I like to add extra peanut butter. Plus I don't like jelly soaking through the bread

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I don't do the cross contamination thing either. I'm a wash in between jars kind of girl. Speaking of cross contamination though... the one that irritates me is toast crumbs in the butter! The ex used to do that all the time.

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

I hate toast crumbs in the butter!! It seems like everyone in my house hasn't figured this out yet because they're always leaving crumbs in the butter. furious

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

I'm guilty of that. hmm

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I don't know why that grosses me out so bad, but it does.

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

I try not to get foreign material in the butter.

For peanut butter and jelly, I use a knife for the peanut butter, then a spoon to scoop the jelly out of the jar and the same knife to spread it.

I do it that way because thats how my wife told me to do it.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Good job, Web! No cross contamination there.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Just lick the knife in between. ;)

oh, my peanut butter must be smooth, too. no crunchy. that affects spreadability.

Me EITHER! You open the jelly next time and there's globs of peanut butter in it! YUCK! Or vice versa with the jelly in the peanut butter.

I guess if it were left to us the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup would have gone undiscovered!

Agreed! Crunchy peanut butter is illegal in my house.

I'm with you. Crumbs in the butter makes the butter inedible.

Another vote for smooth peanut butter. I hate the crunchy kind! bleh

When I was a kid I HATED the crunchy type. Then I grew up and realized crunchy is the REAL peanut butter

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

I'll never grow up. Grown ups are boooorrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!

Actually, my parents loved the crunchy kind and that's all we ever had when I lived at home. The first food item I bought for myself when I moved out was a jar of smooth peanut butter. biggrin

Man, was that good!!! No more bits of peanuts stuck in my teeth, no more biting into a sandwich and having a sharp pain in a tooth from a chunk of peanut.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

I know. My Dad insisted on the crunchy type, so that's usually what we had and I hated it.

But I really did switch somewhere along the line, now I really prefer crunchy.

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

They say crunchy does have a much better taste.....more peanutty flavor. My granny used crunchy for peanut butter cookies, and those I loved!!!

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Oh yeah, it's a MUST for cookies.

Having trouble memorizing the 11 times tables?? Here is a really easy trick that will help you master about all the 11s tables up to 50! First you take any number multiplied by 11 such as 26. Take both the 2 and the 6 and add them togetherand you get 8. Then put the number 8 in-between the 2 and the 6 and you have 286. Try another number such as 45. You know the drill, 4+5=9. 495 is the answer. This can help you out a very lot when you are multiplying big numbers by 11. The only part it becomes tricky is when the numbers that add up are over 9. Then you have to carry over and find out the answer.
