As a kid, my weak­ness was a peanut but­ter and jelly sand­wich with chips inside the sand­wich. I could eat them till I was ill. Which was a good thing to crave when your fam­ily was as poor as a church mouse.

[Which, on a side note: who­ever came up with the say­ing ‘poor as a church mouse’ obvi­ously didn’t go to my child­hood church. With all our potlucks, that mouse looked more like Jabba the Hut!]

Focus…

I remem­ber my dad would come up from work every day for lunch. Mum would fix him a meat and cheese sand­wich (with Fritos…a must!), then he’d always make him­self a PBJ as a chaser. Even today, when I make the boys a PBJ, I think of my Dad.

Now that I’m a mature adult (…ahem…shaddup), I’ve gone gourmet in my cravings.

Var­ied fla­vors of Peanut Butter.

Doesn’t that just sound grown up?

A few months back, I was feed­ing my Twit­ter habit when I saw that a com­pany called PBLoco was giv­ing away a jar of their PB to any­one who hadn’t tried it. I obvi­ously perked up but thought, “Peanut but­ter is peanut butter…how dif­fer­ent can it be?” I was told to go check out their web­site and pick a fla­vor. Ooooo, options!

Ya’ll know I LOVE my spice and for­eign food, so I set my sights to the Asian Curry Spice. Move over Ms. Rachel Ray cause all I got to say is:

YUMMO!!!!

Ya’ll…really. It sounds so strange, but the heav­enly peo­ple at PBLoco told me that the Asian Curry is “the fla­vor that most peo­ple go crazy for when they try, its get­ting them to try it that’s the trick!” If you’re a wein­nie then they have other fla­vors that are just as good, but safer.

But do you have any idea just how won­der­ful that Asian Curry PB is on your Low Mein dishes?! My boys absolutely LOVE Ramen Noo­dles, but now they won’t touch it unless I’ve added the “loco PB” to it. I’ve used it as a dip (along side hum­mus), and I’ve eaten it plain in a tortilla.

I have some left­over steak from din­ner last night…guess what I’m dip­ping it in for lunch today?

See? I’m a mature PB addicted.

I feel so sophisticated.
