Peanut Butter Update

There I am in Trader Joe's this morning, buying my hundred bucks of frozen fruit and embarrassing bachelor food. Sadly, I approach the peanut butter section, not so much to buy peanut butter, but rather to reminisce about the good times it and I once had together. Remember the good old days with Joe's peanut butter before it got all repackaged, runny, and bad? Ah yes, I remember them well.

But Lo! Behold! A sign. An actual sign. Something like this:

Runny Butter? (in large print)
This years crop of peanuts was affected by too much/too little sun (I can't remember which), which produces a more oily peanut. Also, our first run this year had the machines set on too fine of a grind, leading to the runny peanut butter. This has been addressed!

HOW GREAT IS THAT? My God. I will shop there for ever and ever and ever based on that one little stinkin' sign.

You're cracking me up. Lucky you. Unfortunate Update on Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt - they no longer carry it at Dominick's. I will never shop there again for ever and ever and ever.

Now I am howling! I just spit out my coffee! Too much!

yes well, Mr Trader Joe is a good man. He looks after us the best way he can, much better than Mrs. ACME or Mr. Safeway. too bad he can't sell his ridiculously cheap and good wines in the state of PA.....

I can't speak for the wines other than by reputation, and I know people swear by 'em. Play your cards right DNA, and maybe you'll have a nice, affordable xmas gift coming your way down the PA turnpike in a few months.
