I am knee deep in the Winter of my life. I am way to old for all the drama and misunderstandings that are happening right now. Every age has its challenges but by now I thought it would be smooth sailing for me. Whether it's personal or world issues, I just need to let things play out. Whatever happens, happens. I am not responsible for others. Don't be shallow, selfish and only think of yourself. Life for everyone could be so much better if people would let go of their ego, think of others and just be kind.
Since I have no control over anything, I decided to make Peanut Butter. I know, some people take drugs or drink, but I make food.
If you ever buy peanut butter and read the ingredients in the popular brands, you will see peanuts, sugar, hydrogenated vegetable oil, dextrose, salt, molasses and other things. That is insane. A 40 oz jar costs about $4 or more. Even natural natural peanut butter has sugar and palm oil in it. That costs $7. This version costs whatever a jar of peanuts cost. It's usually about $2.50.
Peanut butter is so easy to make if you have a food processor or a blender. It just takes a jar of unsalted dry roasted peanuts. You pour the peanuts in the food processor and blend for 5 minutes. If your food processor gets too hot, just stop it and let it cool. Then continue to blend until smooth. If you want chunky peanut butter just quit sooner. I added a pinch of salt and some honey, but that is in your control. I wish the jar of peanuts would not be made of plastic, but while trying to eliminate as much plastic as I can from my life, it is nearly impossible.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you notice the Rowe Pottery bowl in the picture that says Neillsville, WI; Est. 1882, I recently got it. For those who know me, know I was born in Neillsville. Rowe Pottery in Cambridge WI must have been commissioned to make these bowls. My good friend saw them for only $5 on the clearance table and bought it. I love it.
