This peanut butter & honey sandwich (bulk peanut butter, clover honey, Village Bakery whole wheat bread), or a version thereof, will be consumed by me Monday through Friday, for the next five months. This sandwich is significant at this moment, on this Sunday evening at 8:30 in the evening, because for the past 2 weeks, I have not eaten a single peanut butter & honey sandwich. The mere creation of this sandwich signifies an end and a beginning.
Though I really like peanut butter & honey sandwiches, I am not looking forward to eating this one. No doubt, I will be sitting alone at a desk, unable to enjoy the 30 minutes or so of quiet I experience over the course of a day. I will eat this sandwich as I read work email or replan a lesson or just stress out in general about the end of the day that approaches. Or I will not eat it at all, too consumed by stress to consume something else.
Again, I have nothing against peanut butter and honey sandwiches--they are equally nourishing and delicious--but when the school year ends, I would never choose to eat one.
Postscript: It is Friday now, and a week of peanut butter & honeys has past with me unable to find the cord to upload the photo. You can be sure though, that this week's sandwiches were the best, freshest tasting PB&Hs I've had in a long time, and I excited to eat them again next week. Also, I'll upload pics ASAP.

Peanut butter and honey is good, but if I'm making it for later in the day, I won't put honey on a sandwich. Something about the way it leaks through the bread- I do not understand this at all.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and honey open-faced on slightly cooled toast is something else entirely.
