Pinterest Fail: Grilled PB&J

While searching through Pinterest, I always wonder if it really is as great as they make it seem. What if everything went as great as it seemed? Wouldn't life be boring? Well my friends, life was not boring the day I tried what you would think would be the best Pinterest "project" ever.

I kept seeing "Grilled PB&J" on Pinterest and decided to try it one day. But let's back it up a bit...

I really was not a peanut butter person before arriving in Aberdeen. Seriously, I would eat it MAYBE once a year. Maybe that was because I was worried I would run into my Peanut-Free nephew at some point and not be able to give him smooches all over ... (let's forget the fact that we lived 6 hours apart) ... I didn't think there was much to rave about peanut butter. I'd say that within 3 days of stepping foot in Great Britain, I wanted Peanut Butter... bad. It was weird.

Um, hopefully you stopped the video because it's 10 hours long, but it is NOT AT ALL annoying :)

So, my main lunch time item everyday is a sandwich, and I usually either grill that sandwich, stick it in the oven or toast the bread. With a PB&J, I always toast the bread. And it's not a proper PB&J without... um... four times more PB than J. You should always put four six times more PB than J. Aren't you proud hubby?

By the way, that source includes an article about how PB&J sandwiches are racist. Say whaaaaaa???
And by the way, this PB&J has too much J.

Anyway, Pinterest said to grill that baby for a super yummy sandwich. Do not grill a PB&J.
1.) Peanut Butter everywhere. I'm talkin', down my arm... gooing all over the plate... sliding down my chin. This resulted in me scooping peanut butter up with a spoon my finger, and I may or may not have licked the plate.
2.) The bread tasted like "grill". Not a fan of the grill taste when it comes to my PB&J.

Okay, maybe I put too much Peanut Butter on the sandwich. Wait. No, I did not. That's crazy talk! Anyway, it was not at all worth the time it took to "grill" America's favorite sandwich.

Moral of the story is peanut butter melts, so stick with the good ole toaster.

RANDOM FACT:
Jam is always made from the whole or cut fruits, cooked to a pulp with sugar, producing a thick, fruity, spread. Jelly is made using only the juice of the fruit and sugar. It should be clear and sparkling when finished. Source
