I’m loving this article on cnn.com:

There is something so simple yet dynamic about two pieces of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. I can’t even begin to calculate the number of PB&Js I’ve had over the last year, let alone my entire life. Whenever I take a bite of one, I think about the times my Mom made my lunch and put so much peanut butter in my sandwich that I could barely chew. I think about running to dance classes and field trips to the museum. Now, there is something about the consistency of taste, yet surprise that makes me look forward to this sandwich each and every day.

I’ve found that I’m not alone in my appreciation and borderline obsession with peanut butter and jelly. Two other AC360 colleagues and I are now in a PB&J Club, secretly supporting each other and our love for this sandwich.

PB&J embodies what I love about food. Two people can have an appreciation for the same item – like a sandwich – yet have their own unique spins to it. Do you put peanut butter on both slices of bread? Only on one side? Do you cut the crust off or like your bread toasted? The variations of this classic are endless.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of jelly because it soaks into the bread and makes it soggy. Maybe I’ll try it by putting peanut butter on both sides of the bread with a thin layer of jam between.
