I love the stuff. If they made a white owl coated in it, I'd be all over it. I just had some peanut butter from a small company that mostly sells over the net. It was excellent and has about 90% less calories than the stuff you get in stores. They ship it as powder and you add water. Can't tell the difference from JIF. I'd love to make sure the company stays around. If interested, I'll email you the link. [email protected] Carry on.

huge PB fan...in japan, when you die, they cremate you 100% of the time...the family sits in a room for 2-3 hours as you burn, then all view your bones. the family takes 7 important bones and put them in the urn...which they bury in the family tomb.

ANYWAY, i tell my students that when i die, spread PB all over my body...2 hours of gooooooood smell! my students laugh at me.

To me, the almond butter at costco is only "ok".

I think the almond butter sold at Trader Joes is a better quality. As is the peanut butter, which is nothing but ground peanuts or ground peanuts and salt depending on which version. No added sugar, oil, emulsifiers and preservatives like most of the commercial brands have in them.

Peanut butter = One of my fav "cheat" foods!

Love it with strawberry jam between 2 warmed corn tortillas (doesn't sound too good, until you try it - i.e., better than bread) and a small glass of milk on the side.

i have almond butter and walnut butter. the almond butter is not creamy, but the flavor is good...have yet to open the walnut.

jim--after grad school, i started teaching in GERMANY. loved it. went back to Dallas...it was just ok. i liked teaching, but i was not learning as much. opened the paper. saw a chance to teach English in japan. was still in my early 20's. before i got on the seniority track at a school, i thought i had 1 more chance for adventure...that was almost 11 years ago.

taught just English for over 7 years. now english and science (which is my thing). love it.

why the heck would anyone want powdered PB?

That's just wrong.

Now. There's a company that makes PB in certain flavors.
I've got one called "the heat is on".
It's got chili powder, hot peppers, etc.

Fan friggen tastic.

No reconstituting necessary.

#19 DD, microwave tortillas? Should have one of them cast iron warmers for the stove.. now that would do it.


Oh wait, tortillas going off topic... I think that hot peanut butter needs to be used for the peanut sauce at my favorite Thai place.

Sams Club has a brand with 11 grams of fat, no hydrogenated oils and about 60 % less calories, the remove the bad oils and puth heart healthy oils back in. It taste great and doesn't seperate, plus its cheap.. Giant foods has a brand with only 2 grams of fat 90 % less calories and hardly any sodium and no sugar , it isn't really too bad..

Family liked it.

Jack: Jeez, now that I think about it, I could have posted the link to being with. I guess I'm just conditioned not to post links here because it usually has to do with cigars or competitors. No chit, the pb is very good.

PB with oil aint bad. You just need healthy oil in it. Heavy on omega-6. I generally eat a few spoonfulls of peanut butter a day for protein and healthy fats. Its not Jiff or Skippy though.

Burgess -- We don't live on campus. We live in a neighborhood that borders it. None of the BS but we still have the benefit of a couple hundred acres of school property our dog can run though. Don't know how so many families can live on campus. I'd go crazy.

EMS. I'd give it a try, but I don't know I could give up the convenience of just grabbing a jar and going. Unless it tastes freakin awsome.

----begin
Directions:
Mix 2 Tablespoons of PB2 with 1 Tablespoon of water and stir until smooth.
Can be mixed directly with jelly or jam for a PB2 and jelly sandwich.
>>>Use your imagination with other liquids to develop your own unique flavors.
---end

That last one has me thinking: BeerPB?
