A Spot for a Lady
 

 
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe - though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived. ~Susan Sontag

Okay. How much trouble is it, really, to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? You open the jars, spread the peanut butter on one slice and the jelly on the other. You join the two slices of bread... voilá! It has to be the easiest sandwich to make.

The other day I was walking around Costco and someone was handing out samples of a new product.... pre-made peanut butter and jelly crustless sandwiches! Is it that time- consuming to make the sandwich? To cut the crust off the bread? Can making the sandwich take such a chunk out of your busy schedule that we are to thank the sandwich gods that someone finally invented the pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I thought we had hit bottom with instant mashed potatoes!

My husband always says, “Find a way to make life easier and simpler for lazy Americans and you will become rich.” Well, who’da thunk it! Simplify the easiest sandwich! Smucker’s must have seen a need for this because you can buy the box at your local supermarket. And before you ask... No, I am NOT getting paid by the company!

Miss Piggy must be delighted with this new invention. She is the one that said that she prefers Hostess fruit pies to Pop-Tarts because there is less cooking involved.

Pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is crazy, but I wish I had thought of it!

I, personally, don’t buy these pre-made meals. I love to cook and have tried many of Emeril’s recipes. If you are the type of person to stock the pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in your home, you will probably not know who Emeril is and probably don't care.

I wonder who makes more money; Smucker’s, with their time saving invention, or Emeril, with his line of cooking pots and pans, and spices?

I know where I’m spending my money!
