Last weekend I was struck by a very intense craving for one of my nostalgic childhood foods, so I hightailed it to the grocery store to buy some frozen waffles. I've said before that some of the best sandwiches
evoke memories, and this recipe goes back when I was maybe 7 or 8, and my mom fixed me some waffles before realizing we were out of syrup. She improvised to make this sandwich, and "peanut butter and jelly waffles" soon became one of my favorite meals.Like the nonwaffly version, this PB&J is very easy to make and can inspire countless variations: almond instead of peanut butter, different flavors of waffles or even waffles from scratch, honey in place of jelly, Elvis-style with bananas, and on and on.

Yesterday was
April Fool's Day, and today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly day! To celebrate, I've put together a little quiz that tests your knowledge of the classic children's sandwich. If you love fun foodie facts, take the quiz now!

There are many birdies that like fruit . . .

If you've ever been to a typical American college party, then you've probably had a Jello shot or two (or ten). Well the folks at Yebisu (a great Japanese beer) have created a beer based version. I wonder if it contains any alcohol or is just beer flavored...

Now that his
divorce from Brit is final, what's K-Fed been up to? Well, in the spirit of
another dancing dog we know, he's celebrating and having a good 'ole peanut butter Feder time!

A couple of months ago, I got together with my pals April and Jessie for what I hope is to become a new tradition of ours: hanging out drinking champagne while doing random bits of domestic diva-ry. This time we were doing one of Jessie's specialties: jam - blueberry jam to be exact.
It all came about when I had my housewarming party back in August.

If
Pickle Surprise! was too humdrum for your tastes, then how about a banana-disguised, dancing dog who sings of peanut butter jelly while shaking his maracas? The highly-complicated, psychoanalytic inferences are there for the taking...but if you wish to return back to the basics, then
go here instead. Thanks,
Moni B, for the fun!
