From left to right: Jif - the peanut butter we are trying to get rid of.  Phase out if you will.  Smucker’s Creamy - The natural yet not so smooth peanut butter that Caleb complains “has peanuts in it.”  Let me explain.  I have been on a crunchy peanut butter kick, so I get myself crunchy.  Caleb came up when I was making sandwiches one day and commented that he didn’t want the crunchy peanut butter.   I explained that I wasn’t planning to make his with crunchy peanut butter because it had pieces of peanuts in it.  I told him I liked the crunchy pieces.  So this came back to bite me in the ass when I tried to switch to natural peanut butter.  If you’ve ever had the Smuckers creamy, it isn’t completely smooth (ie Jif), so he assumed this was crunchy.  Thus began his campaign of “I want peanut butter without peanuts in it.”  Have I mentioned toddlers will argue with a tree stump, all while becoming just as rooted in place on their opinion as the tree stump is on its?  So moving along, next we have Kroger brand natural creamy peanut butter.  The nearest Kroger is 30, yes 30 miles away.  Luckily my mom has Krogers where she lives, and this is her favorite peanut butter, so she sent me two jars by way of the visiting ‘papa’ last night (my dad).  Just so you know, it passed the -world’s pickiest eater peanut butter with no peanuts- test.  And last but no least, we have the infamous Smuckers Chunky from which all my problems originated.  Just call us the peanut butter connoisseur.

This concludes your useless information for the day.  Stay tuned tomorrow: underwater basket weaving.

    We like weirdos. And it takes one to know one. :) We have 2 kinds of peanut butter. A big jar of Jif for baking and a smaller jar of natural peanut butter for sandwiches. Oh, and I have soybutter because I’m allergic to peanut butter. haha!

    What’s wrong with a little gas now and then. Hey, don’t fain a headache, next time just fart and roll over! That should do the trick.

    BTW….all that peanut butter def falls in the “strange” column. What we do to appease the toddler.

    I gotta say, yes maybe a little! But only because you’re phasing out the Jif…that’s the best one!
