Did we talk about this? PB&J?

[darkling_glory]

My husband told me I make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like an "asshole."

I put the peanut butter on one slice of bread, and then I put the Jelly right on top of the peanut butter and mush it together with my knife when I spread it around. Then I top with the other piece of bread.

He says that you're supposed to put the peanut butter and jelly and different slices of bread before you close the sandwich.

What say you all?

[lizo11]

I put peanut butter on one side, and then the jelly on the other. But I also use two different knives because I don't like them touching before the bread is put together, so I may not be the best one to ask. ;D

He is right!

[eureka1017]

He is wrong...

I do it the same way 1 piece of bread gets both the pb&J then the other just gets the wiped off knife...

[shorty20]

I've do both, so I don't think either way is right or wrong.

[winemaker]

Yep he is wrong! I do it the same as you.

Fact.
I can't imagine it comes out even if you put jelly right on top of peanut butter.
That's just wrong..

Does anyone remember Goobers? The peanut butter and jelly in the same jar? Do they still make that?

I used to beg my mom to buy that for us when we were little. I bet my husband would have a heart attack. I think I'll put it on the shopping list just for shits and giggles.

I do remember these, though I could never bring myself to buy them (see the too OCD about them touching post above.)

I also remember Crustables, where they came pre-made, and frozen, and you would put them in your lunch box, and they would be defrosted by lunchtime. Only my friend proved they really just turned into a squishy mess in your lunchbox by lunchtime.

I don't often make PB&J, but when I used to make them, I made it like you do.

I bet it tastes the same no matter what.

Hubby tells me he can taste the difference. Once, I made two PB&Js - one my way and one his way. I gave him "his" and he claimed it was wrong.

He doesn't know anything. He just likes to bitch. Now he makes his own PB&J.

Oh, and on the subject of sandwiches. When you make a grilled cheese sandwich, do you use 1 slice of cheese or 2?

I always used 2 (when I ate dairy) but hubby only uses 1. I say that defeats the cheesiness of the sandwich.

Oh man, we loved Goobers, it was a total treat when we got to have it!

I do EXACTLY as you do

[ridethelightning]

I don't like jelly, so I use honey or syrup.

True story. At the nursing home, one of the patients wanted pb&j, but only a half. So she asked the attendant there to make her one, with pb on one half of a slice of bread, and jelly on the other half. The lady put pb on one SIDE of the bread, and jelly on the other. The poor old lady was so confused. She couldn't figure out how to fold it! These are the people in charge of the elderly.

When I make grilled cheese, I use one American cheese slice, and some shredded cheese. Cheesiest grilled cheese ever!

[lizardesque]

I do it both ways.

[monkeygirl18]

PB on one slice and jelly on the other ( using different knives) then put together.

TWSS.

I do as your husband does, and so does my husband

Yeah, you do! Giggity!

[lexxasaurus]

PB on one side, jelly on the other. I agree with Pi, I just don't feel it would be even on one side... Andplusalso it's simply incorrect.

And I'm lactose intolerant, so if I make a grilled cheese I'm going to suffer regardless and figure I might as well make it uber cheesy. Two slices!

[alabasterangel]

It is a deeply personal decision.

[MyName]

I once made a pb&j for my husband and I put pb on both slices of bread and jelly on one side. He accused me of trying to choke him to death, so I guess I make them even worse!

Also, more cheese is always the right answer. One slice in a grilled cheese? What a rip off!

[Trouble]

when i make PB&J I put peanut butter on both slices of bread and Jelly on one, I just say that the peanut butter keeps the jelly from getting the bread soggy.

[treedimensional]

WTF is the difference?! Your H is an asshole.

Eh... I don't think he's an asshole. It was just a funny conversation we had about the "right" way to make a PB&J. It made us laugh. We're lame.

I agree with this! And the occasional slice or two of bacon or ham in the middle is fantastic...nomp.

Now I really want a grilled cheese sandwich...

Yay!

[darkling_glory]

Otter, I have pb&j for breakfast a lot! I love it!

Now, it's sitting in my lunchbox waiting for me to devour it. But I want to eat it now!
