You cut off the crusts? I'm slightly disappointed...

Good poem, though!

Nina said…
aahhh...you trim your crusts. bad, anali, bad. I hope you're at least feeding the crusts to the birds :)

Nothing quite like a good PB & J. When I worked in advertising, I had my office hooked on this :)

I love to toast the bread so it warms the peanut butter and jelly..YUMMY FOR MY TUMMY--as my children would chant.

big boys oven - Thank you!

sanjay - Sometimes the simple things can be the best!

suldog - I'm glad you like the poem! Sorry about the crust!

asha - You have a great weekend too! ; )

capcity - I haven't tried those other butters, but I plan to. I never heard of sunflower butter! I can't even imagine the flavor!

nina - LOL! In "real life" I do eat the crusts even though they aren't my favorite. For this picture, I wanted to see more angles, which I could only get by trimming the crusts. And no birds got that crust! I freeze the heels and unwanted bread scraps for bread pudding. ; )

cynthia - Somedays I get serious pb+j cravings!

lovebabz - That sounds yummy to me too! ; )

Lisa Johnson said…
jac - I would upload it for you if I could! ; )

amisha - Thank you so much! Taking a reading break? ; )

bipolarlawyercook - And now you know the story behind it! ; )

Sometimes simple meals really are the best - delicious, nutritious and full of comfort. I love raspberry preserves. :)

Hey, you got your profile change to work. Looks good!
Lisa Johnson said…
ari - I guess this is a comfort food. I wasn't even thinking about that. It makes sense looking back at this week...

bipolarlawyercook - Thanks!
Tera said…
Yum! WITH crusts of course! :)

Let me try this again...i had to correct the links included:

Here are the brands of other butters that I like, Anali:
Sunflower Butter.
Almond Butter (they have others but I've only tried their Almond).

I prefer mine w/o sugars or honey cuz I like to taste the nut...don't go THERE;-). Sunflower has a "bite" that I like! I tried these because I learned that peanut is harder for the body to digest...but i still love it - just try to alternate with others, too!

so comforting. so good.

I remember being dog tired after a big site launch, and going out to lunch with several colleagues. the menu was loaded with intricate, delicious dishes, but I ordered up exactly what I needed: grilled cheese with tomato. perfection.
Lisa Johnson said…
tera - Of course! ; )

capcity - Thanks for the links. I'm really curious and will have to try these now!

suttonhoo - Thank you! It's interesting how everyone so relates to this comfort food in such a big way. Sometimes it's just the simple things that we need.

Lisa Johnson said…
mosilager - Thank you! ; )
Lotus Reads said…
What mosilager said, your wonderful poem was enough to get me drooling over my favorite sandwich.
Lisa Johnson said…
lotus reads - LOL! Thank you so much! ; )
Very cute. You should definitely write (and post!) more poetry inspired by photos :)
Lisa Johnson said…
sognatrice - Thanks! I just have to see something that inspires me. Hopefully soon! ; )
