Celebrities Favorite's Weird Candy Trivia. Growing Candy. Updated 5-24-08
Full of the easy, fun filled, life that youth offers up so readily. Filled with friends, family, pets, and food.
Speaking of food, I remember, one of my best childhood friends lived right across the street in a red house. Chuck.
Chuck simply loved peanut butter. His entire teenage growth years were fueled by peanut butter straight up and on sandwiches. He invented new ways to eat peanut butter, that up until Chuck, weren't even in existence. Now I see them everywhere. Peanut butter, jelly and banana slices. Peanut butter, honey, and jelly. Peanut butter and bologna. Mash potatoes and peanut butter.
Chuck declared peanut butter was best served with a side of Saturday afternoon TV. In those days, Saturday afternoon TV consisted of Godzilla and other sci-fi movies. What a way to pass your time, huh?
Along towards late afternoon, before the evening would begin, we would gather on Chuck's front porch feeding our brains with Mad Magazines, Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction, and a variety of comics. Yes, of course, the girls would be reading Tiger Beat.
I will never forget Chuck's insane love of peanut butter. He was a great kid. Peanut butter, sci-fi, and Mad Magazines. Hey, Chuck, how's the Coast Guard treatin ya?
Now, here are some free peanut butter recipes taken from handwritten recipes found in journals, recipe boxes, off napkins and any place old recipes hide.
