PB&J
Supplies:
Kitchen knife
Plate (about the size of two pieces of bread side-by-side)
Ingredients:
Peter Pan peanut butter (creamy)
Welch’s grape jelly
White or potato bread (usually white)
Marshmallow fluff (optional)
Directions:
1. Place two slices of bread on a plate. They must have been next to each other on the loaf, and none of this end-piece business.
2. Remove the top slice as if it were the cover of a book so that the bottom side is now the top side, and place it to the left of the other slice.
3. Dip the knife into the peanut butter jar until a hefty chunk is stuck to it – say, about 2 tablespoons or more. Slab this onto the left-side slice of bread until it is spread evenly but thickly. Do not paint the entire canvas edge to edge; leave about half an inch of bread on the sides.
4. Wash the knife thoroughly.
5. Tilt the jelly jar toward the right-side slice of bread and using the knife, scoop out a large chunk of jelly onto the bread (1 ½ tablespoons, or so, but not much more than that). Spread the jelly across the bread thinly, again leaving about half an inch of bread on the edges.
6. Wash the knife thoroughly.
7. (Optional.) With the help of the knife, shake four medium-sized mounds of marshmallow fluff on top of the jelly. Do not attempt to spread; it is impossible.
8. Place the peanut butter slice over the jelly slice, taking care to make sure every corner of the bread is even so that when looking at it face-down, one might perceive only one slice of bread.
9. Enjoy.
