The Things We Do For...
I went grocery shopping at lunchtime. I'm standing in the peanut butter section, hesitating. Slowly, I extended my arm and reached for the Jiff jar with the (gag) CREAMY label on it, and put it in the cart.
Bleh.
All I can say is, thank goodness he didn't ask me to get mayonnaise. I'll do a lot for the man I care about, but even I have my limits.

whats wrong with creamy jif? what do you use?
honey, i buy two separate mayos, my miracle whip and his hellmans [yuck!] i get a small one for me and a large one for him.
unfortunately, that only gives my boy twice the stuff to choose from because he like everything.
lol - I reserve my special distaste for mayo as well.
extra crunchy, baby!!!!
My poor mom. She likes Miracle Whip and has to bring her own when she comes here.
I like MUSTARD on my sammiches! The only time I use anything remotely mayo-ish is when I make tuna salad - and then I use just barely enough to glom the tuna together. MMMmm! If I can see the Miracle Whip, it's too much!
(Actually I have nothing against creamy peanut butter, I just think I'm funny)
on a sandwich, it all depends. if it is a cheese sandwich, mustard all the way. if it is a lunch meat thing, i was a smidge of m-whip.
i believe in the perfectly made sandwich. a THIN layer of mayo on each piece of bread and a THIN layer on each section. keeps the sandwich moist without the GLOB of gunk here or there.
and when i say THIN layer i mean just enough to be there. that is why my small jar of m-whip lasts longer than his large jar of hellmans. :)
oh, i've seen my best friend make a sandwich back in the old days, and he is very careful and picky about sandwich construction too.
the only thing i make thick is my peanut butter. i like a hunk of peanut butter swirled on one side and a THIN layer of grape jam on the other, just enough to keep the PB from being dry.
and it has to be JAM not that yucky jelly.
Oh boy - my ex (#2) had very strict and complex sandwich rules - what was to go on each side, what was allowed to touch (lettuce, tomato, cheese), when to use mayo, mustard, or even ketchup (dependent on the color of the meat)... The solution we found was that he could make his own damn sandwich. ;) But then, we used to argue about how to load the toilet paper roll and how to stack pans in the cupboard, too.
Shiver.
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
oh my, i don't get that technical - just on 'how much' sometimes you can get too much of a good thing and in some cases you can't get enough.
i am a stickler on the toilet paper though, i'm an 'over' girl myself.
i prefer to stack pans inside pans to optimize space but i am flexible. somethings don't deserve my full effort. i choose my battles.
There's a reason he's an "ex" ;) It wasn't the little things like how to label video tapes. There was never any middle ground, things had to be his way only. That made me feel about this big (dot). Then I got rebellious - and then he got more authoritarian, ... ugh.
We still work at the same place and get along just fine. It's the living together that stank.
Right on gurl!!!
EXTRA CRUNCHY FOREVER
TREKKY !! How are you and your lovely fiancee doing?!!
what a thread! I am only picky when i make my own
i like mustard on lots of stuff, it was a long time before i would eat mayo, after stealing others for years!
i like both kinds of peanut butter, jelly/jam/preserves should be => th pb.
TP is over, but only matters if you are out!
ooo anonymous... how intriguing!
