January 24th was National Peanut Butter Day and I missed it! I only figured it out because I was eating peanut butter (crunchy) on bread and thought, "I love peanut butter... I wonder who invented it... I would like to put flowers on the grave of whoever invented peanut butter..."
So I wikipedia-ed it and discovered that there are a bunch of people with patents and associations to peanut-paste and nut-butter and all kinds of things. It was confusing. But I did learn that China is a big peanut butter exporter, which seems wrong.
So the flowers will go on my kitchen table, instead.
I did some more research and decided this would be an acceptable arrangement to honor peanut butter on my kitchen table:

Oh wow that simply screams peanut butter!
And hilariously agreed, China and peanut butter is wrong.
didn't George Washington Carver invent peanut butter in Georgia? Or is that a myth??? :) Yes, Chinese peanuts are surprising, but at least we're getting something in return for all those plump chicken feet we send them, right?
I thought GW Carver invented it, too, but look at wikipedia. A bunch of people seem to have separately invented it, which is annoying.
Did you know that Dothan, AL (where we were just posted) produces over 50% of the world's peanuts within a 25 mile radius? They celebrate this each year at the National Peanut Festival. Yes, I attended. Did I learn interesting things about peanuts? No, but I did see my fair share of mullets and fanny packs...
