Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

Some days, you need a reminder that eating anything is better than eating nothing.

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 3 months ago

Seeing this post prompted me to cook for myself, thank you for sharing this valuable resource 😊

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 38 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Pros: high protein food

Cons: makes a spoon dirty

Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Why is the spoon dirty? Just lick it until it's clean of peanut butter and put it back in the drawer. /s

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, let your dog lick it clean since they have cleaner mouths than us filthy humans. Whenever I'm done eating I just let my dog lick the plate/bowl/whatever clean and then it's good to go back in the cupboard.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

This was the premise of one of those 'that really happened' reddit stories.

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If you lick it clean and wipe it with a cloth it's probably fine, but that'd be crossing a line for me. I'd rather put a weeks worth of spooned peanut butter in a bag and skooge it out.

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This comment is violence.

For me, I'm more concerned about getting bacteria into the highly nutritious PB. If you're only eating one spoonful then fine. I wouldn't stick a spoon that's been in my mouth back into the container though. I have done this "meal" though, but I scoop how much I want into a bowl first. Maybe drizzle some honey or something onto it.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Mix up your PB&J in a bowl. That shit is fire. Raspberry preserves are very good

[–] Githyanki@lemmings.world 3 points 3 months ago

Butter knife it onto some crackers. (I prefer Ritz.) The knife never goes into the mouth so I can keep using it. Does make a mess on the counter or table if you don't use a paper towel or plate(or bowl) to catch most of the crumbs. Guess you could eat over the sink...

[–] sentientity@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Use napkin for remaining peanut butter before you put it in the sink. Then it will make the spoon less intimidating to wash.

There is a link to buy a physical copy if you like.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I had no idea I was qualified to be a cookbook author.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I substituted a knife for the spoon and I feel like it still came out ok.

[–] wfh@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

★☆☆☆☆

Substituted a knife for the spoon and caulk for peanut butter. Awful taste, horrible recipe. Do not recommend. Would put zero stars but it won't let me.

Tastes like it has a little extra iron in it

[–] Githyanki@lemmings.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's the blood from the cuts in your tongue.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's not as funny when you point out the joke

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As long as it's not a fork you're good.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Works for crunchy. Any thick peanut butter really

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Best is when you're at the end and you bring out the spatula. It's like a mini Christmas.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You know you were gonna have a second serving anyway, may as well just skip the trouble and have both at once.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That is the most important tool in my kitchen.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Ah, I've been making these recipes for decades. It tracks with my cooking skills.

[–] plantsmakemehappy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Have you been reading my diary?

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'm so guilty of both

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Warning: do NOT overdo peanut butter on a spoon if you have a dry mouth
