November 9 - National Peanut Butter Lovers' Month

I love peanut butter, so this month is for me. Other than those with peanut allergies, is there anyone who doesn't like peanut butter?

I think that peanut butter's best day was the glorious day that someone put chocolate and peanut butter together. God bless you, whoever you are. That was truly a match made in heaven.

As much as I love peanut butter (I have an open jar on my desk with a spoon stuck in), I don't really have much to say about it. So I went digging and got some fun facts and links for you to digest.

From peanutbutter.com (Skippy's website):

• Did you know that Dr. George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter? Why is it that he is popularly credited for that creation?
• Jimmy Carter is the American President known as a peanut farmer, but did you know that Thomas Jefferson was also a peanut farmer?
• Nearly half of US peanuts are made into peanut butter.
• The largest PB&J sandwich was 40 feet long and was made with 150 pounds of peanut butter (and 50 pounds of jelly).
• Adults eat more peanut butter than children do.
• East coast residents prefer smooth peanut butter, while people who live on the west coast prefer chunky.
• And almost everyone puts peanut butter on first when making a PB&J.
