Sure are good though

Is there something special about them compared to a homemade PB&J?

The edges are sealed so you don’t get bukakked while you eat it.

What DownInFlames said is true, no leakage so no sticky hands I guess. But really, nope, nothing special at all. It's exactly what it looks like, haha. Tastes exactly like a PB&J sandwich

That guy who stole a vehicle and crashed on Stoney/Deerfoot a week or two ago? Turns out I played hockey with him for a couple years from Novice - Bantam.

I won't pretend to be all broken up here, I wouldn't recognize him on the street. But my mom has remained real good friends with his mom. Her family has gone through some ####. It puts things in perspective.

Kewpie Mayo is ####ing awesome.

I just booked a trip to Calgary for mid March. It's only for a few days, but it'll be great to be home and see all my friends in person again

This is not worthy of a thread. Dealing with my dead dads investments and stuff and I will be going to Locke soon for sure but.

He bought 200 shares of BMO in 1993 for $27 each. At some point he did the drip thing and now there are 490 shares. How in the sweet hell would you calculate the capital gain on that. There’s no online brokerage. I actually have the shares. You would have to get the strike price of very dividend somehow over the years. How the hell do you get that? Is there a way to model it with some calculator online?

It’s not like those 291 shares were gotten at the original price.

I hope my parents have nothing when they go. I have no patience for that type of stuff. The only good thing is my dad has a very good filing system.

You know, for such a simple sandwich, I always thought of them as a pain in the ass. If your bread is too fresh, and you're using chunky peanut butter, you're going to rip the bread. If your bread is stale, the crusts are intolerable. Which ruins said sandwich experience. If you cut the crusts off then you have sticky hands. Which you inevitably wipe on your pants. Making sticky pants. Then you have the knife dilemma. Do you put the peanut butter on first and get peanut butter in the jam jar. Or do you go jam first and get jam in the peanut butter jar? Or do you use separate utensils? So many variables for a simple snack. I'm team crustables all the way.

There should be no such thing as chunky peanut butter. Chunky PB is a quality control issue and it needs to be sent through the pulverizer again.

I will lament the loss of whipped peanut butter until the end of days. Why!!!??

Also, picked up a few natural peanut butters from Trader Joes on my last trip to the States. Good stuff, wish we had better unsweetened varieties here.

Adams Dark Roast. I thought natural peanut butter was garbage until I tried that one, and now I can't go back to the regular stuff because it's too damn sweet

Dude… whip the natural stuff before you put it in the fridge. It should stay whipped until you’re done. I do this all the time, it’s great.

Do you add something to it? The old stuff had a texture very close to mousse.

You sure you need the double s in there?

Nah man. I add a sprinkler of cinnamon and sugar sometimes when I use it. But not to the jar.

That doesn’t sound like the “whipped” peanut butter. That’s more like just mixing it.

I meant this stuff:

Yeah, beat it with beaters for a couple minutes. It’s mousse like.

When did using debit online start working? I had no idea until today.
