I need something to take my mind off things and to help my NSA monitor get through the day.
How to resolve our differences?
Hmmm, take an iconic product from each country and blend them into one heavenly snack.
A comfort food, whenever I was sad and blue because my little pony wouldn't produce rainbows I was given the ambrosia of the gods themselves, peanut butter and jelly.
Now I'm older and still pissed off about rainbows not being available on demand every morning I sink my teeth into a freshly baked croissant.
So what to do now....hmmmm
First make the peanut butter.
I like mine made with skins still on, but remember to shell them first.
Throw a few in a blender, and chop for a few seconds take a few little chunks out then blend the rest until virtually vaporized, take that peanuts!
Some people use peanut oil, I use pure sunflower oil drizzle in until it becomes a smooth thick paste, if too thin add some more peanuts. Add the saved chunks for some crunch
Now add a little fleur de sel [sea salt flowers] to give it that commie European zing.
Oh my heart!
;-)
Jelly?
Why black cherry, why would you even imagine if the was any other type, home made [your favorite recipe] but gently improved by quite a dash of Grand Marnier at the end of the process.
One fresh and still warm croissant [from the bakery or good luck with making your own] made with real butter, we are talking about world peace here so none of this health food business is allowed.
Cut the croissant lengthways and fill with generous proportions of peanut butter on one side and jelly on the other.
Bring together like you mean it, no not back to back.
Eat.
The world is suddenly a much better place.
Rainbows, you betcha,
