peanut butter is a complete and utter staple in my diet. i can no longer trust myself to buy a jar, knowing it will be demolished, spoonful by delicious spoonful within a matter of days. my first trimester of school i bought a huge economy sized jar of jiffy creamy from target, foolishly thinking it would last me until break. i started to notice the tell tale signs of a true problem: my skin was becoming an odd, uniform tan. My legs and arms becoming spindly black twigs, and i felt the need to wear a monocle during all outings. i had begun morphing into a peanut. within two weeks i was rationing myself to two spoonfuls a day, and I'm glad to say today the transformation has been permanently reversed however, that didn't stop me from spending way too much money (roughly $4.19 for a small jar) on something that is extremely cheap, delicious, and easy to make.
