I scraped off the peanut butter into the blender, added the milk and the last pitiful banana I had, and made myself a smoothie. Yes, the pantry is getting a little bare again and I was too
I was going to offer you some of my smoothie, but I was a little thirstier than I thought. So I guess you'll have to make your own.
Yes, that is a glue stick and a random plastic bag in the photo. You really didn't think I would have enough sense to move those before taking the picture. This may explain why I am not one of those big time bloggers with the perfect house. None of my houses have ever had a moment of perfection.
On an up note, I have been wanting a white bedspread and I just happened to get one at the auction last night for $5. It's vintage chenille and in great shape. SCORE!!!
I had it washed and dried and on my bed by this morning. Of course I immediately got a small spot of dirt on it. Do you by any chance remember Pigpen from the Peanuts comic strip. I think we must be related. I am a big time dirt magnet. (please refer back to previous paragraph about why I am not a big time blogger) Don't ask me why I love to decorate with white. I must be a serious glutton for punishment.
Well there is one last stalk of celery in the refrigerator calling my name, so I am off.
Have a wonderful day.
wow that was scary I bet!!!!! but on the upside you have a beautiful bed spread!!!! You always make me smile , sometimes make me cry, in a good way, but you are such a good read!!! I thank you for that,
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you, Laurie. I am always so happy to see you here. :)
DeleteOH such deal on that blanket. I've been wanting one and the closest I've gotten was one at an estate sale and they wanted$ 45.00. NO way was I paying that. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love it. I was so excited that no one else bid on it. They are usually so much more when they are in such good condition.
DeleteUse the rice to make a door snake. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood idea, except as soon as I did that I would find a great recipe for brown rice :)
DeleteLove the bedspread...score! I love peanut butter only sandwiches but you do have to take small bites! Glad you are OK! :)
ReplyDeletehug, Linda
smaller bites, smaller bites... my mother always lectured me about that. :)
DeleteLaura, I think peanut butter can be scary. I put it with a smear of butter on toast...so it's kind of melty when I eat it. Sounds like you are having one of those days. Blessings for a better tomorrow. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI think Linda was right. I need to take smaller bites. I like it on toast,too. :)
DeleteI have a great recipe for brown rice if you like japanese food- it’s called Chicken Scallion Rice Bowl. It’s healthy and yummy- one of my absolute favorite recipes. Find it here- http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/japanese_chicken_scallion_rice_bowl.html (and about the mirin mentioned in the ingredients- I have substituted white grape juice or just left it out altogether- it’s only a tablespoon, so it doesn’t make a huge difference.)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kasey. I'll definitely look it up. :)
DeleteThose old white chenille bedspreads bring back memories from my childhood. I had one on my bed and I recall seeing them in other peoples homes too. They were a classic! I actually like peanut butter sandwiches, but the secret is to add mayonaise to one side of the bread and peanut butter on the other. It's a great combination and doesn't get stuck in your mouth! When I was little, I needed to gain weight, so my mom would even add banana slices between the peanut butter and mayo. It used to be one of my favorite sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteI had one on my bed too when I was a child. They bring back good memories. I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I should have done that. Never thought to put mayo on it. I'll have to think about that one. :)
DeleteYour new chenille bedspread is gorgeous...what a fabulous buy! And I am one to eat peanut butter out of the jar with a tableknife! choke choke! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteShhh!! Don't tell anyone, but I've done that, too. I really am loving my bedspread. xo
DeleteWhat movie was that when Michele Pfieffer almost chokes on the spoonful of peanut butter? That has always stayed with me...scary.
ReplyDeleteLove that bedspread...I had one, but it's gone somewhere I guess.

I'm not sure I saw that movie if I did I think I blocked it out. I probably would never have eaten peanut butter again. I had one of these as a child, but I accidentally cut it with the scissors. I can remember that my mom wasn't too happy :)
DeleteHi Laura....I love the bedspread. I like chenille. Old-fashioned and comfy! Sorry about the plain peanut butter. A little orange marmalade would have improved it immensely. Have nice weekend. Susan
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. It's funny that you said that about orange marmalade. I haven't tried it since I was a kid. I couldn't stand those pieces of orange in it. they somehow creeped me out. Maybe it's time to give it a try again :)
DeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYour new bedspread is lovely and your bed looks both pretty and cozy. I spy new pillows since you last posted a photograph of your bed.
I love peanut butter...any way shape or form. I have been known to keep a jar in my desk drawer for a 3:00 spoonful.
Sweet dreams as you slumber in your new bed!

Thank you, Lynne. I had a nice cozy night. The pillows are some that I made. I like to have a banana with peanut butter for an afternoon snack. Yum!!
DeleteI also eat peanut butter by the spoonful! But the brand I like is creamy and soft so it's not too hard to eat like that. But probably 10,000 calories also!
ReplyDeleteLove the bedspread!
I was at the bottom of the jar and organic peanut butter tends to be hard at that point. Probably because I don't get it mixed up well enough when I first open the jar. I think all peanut butter is pretty high in calories, but it is good for a boost of energy.
DeleteScarry to think about the peanut butter. I too use organic and the bottom of the jar is always the hardest and stickiest. My grandmother always had chenille on here beds. They were warm but I hated making the bed and trying to straighten the darn thing on the bed. I now prefer comforters or quilts because they are faster and easier to make the bed. Did I mention I hate making beds?
ReplyDeleteI sleep in a twin bed so it's pretty easy to make up. Not my favorite job either, but since I hate an unmade bed I just grit my teeth and do it anyway. I have a feather comforter also, so I am nice and warm. :)
