Simplicity

This week I've rediscovered peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  It would have never occurred to me to make one for lunch, except for our neighbors.  Sadly, they moved away this week, and in cleaning out the fridge ended up giving us some food, including 2 jars of preserves.  I'm not a huge fan of grape jelly anymore, I find it overly sweet, and struggle to eat more than a bite or 2 of it.  If I buy jelly at the store I buy strawberry jelly, and usually the cheap stuff.  Our neighbor has learned better though, and I ended up with a jar of red raspberry preserves.  It may still be store brand, but it is delicious.

I was eager to try it, so I bought some sandwich bread, and decided to have a PBJ for lunch.  Except I suppose I can't really call it a PBJ.  I didn't use peanut butter.  I think I may have become a bit uppity in the nut butter arena, and now prefer almond butter, and not just any almond butter, but freshly ground almond butter.  I don't have any freshly ground almond butter in the house right now, I've been trying to be good and spend less at the grocery store, so I haven't bought any in months.  I do however have some Trader Joe's almond butter.  It's almost as good as the freshly ground kind.

I snagged a fresh peach from the fruit bowl to go with my sandwich and enjoyed a simple lunch that I haven't had in ages.

I enjoyed it so much in fact that I've made it 2 days in a row, and plan to eat it again tomorrow.

Now all I need is a swing set to run to when I finish eating.
