peanut butter jelly time!

In this amazing 'how-to' series, i will explain to you how to create a scrumptious peanut butter and jelly sandwich. now follow closely...

Step 1: First and foremost: wash your hands and the area that you are going to work in.
Step 2: Find a butter knife and plate.
Step 3: Chose a sturdy bread that will not crumble if the jelly soaks through.
Step 4: Choose your peanut butter. You'll need to decide between chunky or smooth. Chunky can give it a crunch, whereas smooth makes it creamy.
Step 5: Chose your jelly. Some jellies include grape jelly, strawberry jelly or raspberry jelly. Some might chose apple or apricot jelly.
Step 6: Open the bread package and place two slices on the plate.

Step 7: On one slice, use the butter knife to spread the peanut butter evenly. The amount of peanut butter depends on your preference.


Step 8: Clean off the knife.



Step 9: On the other slice, use the clean butter knife to evenly spread your chosen jelly. The amount of jelly also depends on your preference. *word of caution: too much jelly will squeeze out of the sides and make a gooey mess*

Step 10: Gently place the slice with the peanut butter on top of the jelly. This prevents the jelly from sliding off of the slice.
Step 11: Use the butter knife to cut the sandwich into two, thirds, or fourths, whatever you desire.

Step 12: Enjoy!

I was amazed that he didn't fall flat on his face since he's such a clutz.
one sunny day, I was laying on the patio in Daniel's backyard, waiting for him to finish his chores. Bored out of my mind, I discovered a flower..and pooof!

I snapped this photo one day when I was playing with the macro setting on my camera.
