The Best [Blog] Ever

Today I decided to try and take on the seemingly impossible task or recreating one of the most popular dishes in American cuisine.

I used to eat this almost everyday but it takes some practice to get right.  If you do try and make it yourself, know that sometimes it won't come out properly for a variety of reasons but keep trying and you may be able to perfect the dish.

I made sure to include a few alternatives if you wanted to think outside the box.  Make sure to experiment with what works best.

So here we go.  How to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

 Ingredients (makes roughly 1 serving):

• Creamy Peanut Butter (you could use crunchy if you like being different or maybe even natural peanut butter if you want to be really fancy)
• Strawberry Jelly (or another fruit if you want to be a little crazy)
• Two slices of bread
• Knife

 1)  Open up your peanut butter and put a glob on one of the two pieces of bread.  At this point, neatness doesn't count.  You should use the knife to get the peanut butter out of the jar or if you wanted to have a little more fun you could use your fingers.

2)  If you're going the traditional route and using a knife, spread the peanut butter glob all over the piece of bread. 

I can't believe you're still reading this

3)  This part is fairly similar to step 1 and 2 but instead of using the peanut butter, you're going to use your jelly on the other piece of bread.  Maybe if you decided to use your fingers for the peanut butter you could use the other hand for the jelly.

4)  Okay here's where things get tricky.  Now you have to pick up one of the slices of bread and place it on top of the other with the condiment side facing down.  Make sure the peanut butter or jelly is on the underside when combing the two pieces.  It's a common mistake to not do this.

Right on target

It's going to be a close finish

5)  Whoa that was a tough part but we did it.  There's only one more step.  Now you're going to take the same knife that you may have been using throughout the process and cut the sandwich in half.  You may be thinking that there's only one way to cut a sandwich in half but you would be wrong.  Try mixing it up and cutting the bread diagonally into triangles or maybe even into strips.

Flawless

6)  Enjoy your very mediocre sandwich!

Wow I just took the time to photograph and write about the process of making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  That's probably a good insight into how eventful my week was and how many brilliant ideas I had.   I really don't know.

That's all for now.  Bye.
