Apple and Peanut Butter is a Basic Comfort Food.
\nby Paul Sanford<\/p>\n
Apple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.
\nTwist open the lid on the good stuff,
\nall peanuts with nothing added but a little salt.
\nThe healthy stuff as in the old days
\nwhen I was around people who cared about such stuff.
\nPour off the oil and put it in the refrigerator.
\nApple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.<\/p>\n
Apple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.
\nChoose a small apple,
\none you can get your mouth around and bite.
\nThese have a festive name, party or gala or Mardi Gras or whatever.
\nThey look kinda pink and yellow, but if you look closely
\nthey are a light golden green
\nwith streaks of red in various tones,
\ngiving it that party d\u00e9cor reflected in whatever the name is.
\nApple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.<\/p>\n
Apple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.
\nSome folks cut the apple into wedges,
\nscoop out the core and seeds
\nfill it with a scoop of peanut butter like a little boat.
\nIt\u2019s good for most folks, but seems like a lot of trouble
\nwhen what I want is a quick basic snack.
\nSomething to eat any time of day or night.
\nTwist off the inedible stem,
\nturn the apple over to show the remains of the flower,
\nApple and Peanut butter is a basic comfort food.<\/p>\n
Apple and Peanut Butter is a basic comfort food.
\nDig into the thick brown paste in the jar.
\n(If it\u2019s too thick, pour in a little oil to thin, and stir.)
\nYou want a nice thick paste to stick to the apple.
\nPut a big dab of peanut butter on the bottom of the apple.
\nTake a bite.
\nThe sweet wet apple mixes with the stiff paste
\nto make a crunchy and delicious mix of texture and flavor.
\nAdd dabs of peanut paste and bite off chunks around the edges.
\nEat the core and all. Don\u2019t bite into the bitter seeds.
\nIf ate 400 apples and ground the seeds fine you would have a lethal dose of cyanide.
\nPop the last bite into your mouth.
\nIf you have a mustache you can taste peanut butter all day long,
\nand inside your mouth it sticks to your teeth for continued snacking.
