peanut butter!

i L.O.V.E. peanut butter. peanut butter and jelly. peanut butter and bananas. peanut butter and chocolate. peanut butter fluffernutter, sweet lord. back in the golden days of my youth (middle school) i would pack a peanut butter fluffernutter sandwich everyday for lunch. and i'm still not sick of them. this post is an ode to peanut butter, who has helped me through my omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan days and i'm positive will help me through my college and motherhood days. peanut butter, you will be with me always.
