A peanut butter and jelly sandwich at last!

I just did the unthinkable... I've eaten my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I never liked the idea of those two together, so I never tried it.

I used to say that the day I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich I would have become completely Americanized... I honestly thought that that day would never come, but it just did.

After having accomplished this "milestone" in my Americanization process, -eighteen years in the making, ha,ha,ha-, I just cannot avoid asking myself: what have I become? Is having eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich a sign of the completion of my Americanization process?

I retired to the woods to ponder this great question, and I have concluded that I was, probably, suffering from a severe case of laziness; and confronted with the choice between cooking and eating a peanut butter sandwich, I decided that the time had come for me to feel very American.

  4. There's nothing wrong with a little PB&J -- as we the Americanized call it.

  5. I may be as you say "a severe case of laziness". I love peanut butter. What I don't think I would like is the combination with jelly.

    I should try it. Americanized? Who knows, it could be!

  6. i like peanut butter even when i thought i never would.

    Minde change, body change, people change Sonya.


    no creo que la forma de vida americana sea holgazana, por el contrario creo que la forma de vida americana promueve la actividad productiva aun por encima de la atencion personal. lo ideal seria comer todos los dia a la mesa en familia. Sin embargo esa no es una costumbre que prioriza el rendimiendo. ves? es otra forma de analizarlo.

  8. Alex, lo de 'Jaragana' en la cocina, ya sabes que es cosa asumida, jajajaja. No estuvo mal, era más bien un rechazo a la idea de peanut butter and jelly en un sandwich, jajajajaj. No sabia si era bueno o no, porque simplemente nunca pude comerlo antes. Lo como sabes es muy raro porque me encanta probar todo tipo de comida. No puedo explicarte por qué sucedió así.

    Fernando, no sabría decirte si el es tan similar a la vida, jajajajaj. Apenas lo acabo de probar, y en cuanto a la vida, pues también estoy empezando a vivir, jajajajaja,

    San Escrin, a mí si 'me late', lo que no me latía era la mezcla de ambos. Me encanta el maní o como dirías tú el cacahuate, jajaja.

    Victor Manuel of course there is nothing wrong with it. I like the nickname you 'the americanized' give it. That's cool.

    TonEt, I was there with you, but as you can see i crossed over :P. It is not bad at all. Try it -only if you are ready -it took me 18 years :P.

    Ronald, pero lo mío sí, jajajaja. Debía haber cocinado -como le gustaría a mi madre- pero has de saber que soy medio holgazana para ello :). Por eso que me apeteciera más el Sándwich que cocinar.

    Ginnette,
    De uvas. ¡Divina ella! Go for it -if you are ready, jejejeje.

    Abrazos y mil gracias por acompañarme!
