“New research shows peanuts rival the antioxidant content of many fruits. Roasted peanuts rival the antioxidant content of blackberries and strawberries, and are far richer in antioxidants than carrots or beets. Research conducted by a team of University of Florida scientists, published in the journal Food Chemistry, shows that peanuts contain high concentrations of antioxidant polyphenols, primarily a compound called p-coumaric acid, and that roasting can increase peanuts’ p-coumaric acid levels, boosting their overall antioxidant content by as much as 22%.”

(No, I’m not a paid sponsor. I just find this stuff interesting, especially when I’m eating it so often. It rivals the antioxidant potential of strawberries and carrots? Seriously??)

What about “It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time”? Man, that song sticks in your head worse than peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth!

Peanut butter on celery is fantastic too.

Also, peanut butter on toast.

I also really love peanut butter and salami together! It sounds disgusting, and people get really grossed out when I mention it, but it really is great! It works on a sandwich or just spreading peanut butter on a slice of salami and rolling it up.

One of my favorite ways to eat PB is to stir fry some veggies, add some cooked mung bean noodles and throw in a half jar of peanut butter, then mix. When the delicious mix is served in a bowl, top with a pretty swirl of Sirracha and some soy sauce. It is by far the best way to eat your veggies!

Damn, now I’m hungry.

You’re thinking of the 100th Twilight Zone episode based on Ray Bradbury’s really great short story, “I Sing the Body Electric” Also – the title “I Sing the Body Electric” is actually from a poem by Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass. And, on youtube you can watch a clip from the movie Fame where they sing and dance to a musical version of the poem.

ain’t trivia fun?
cheers!

The Peanut Butter Solution looks familiar, kind of like an old dream. At first it reminded me of the movie with the mechanical grandmother – does anyone remember what that was?
