so, as a child, i was very particular about my pbj´s (which remains to this day a carolyn peculiarity).  No crust and cut on the diagonal. NO strawberry jelly.  In adulthood, I no longer mind the crust but maintain my proclivity towards diagonal cuts and NO strawberry jelly.  Another pbj particularity that has always bugged me is the mush.  The how-come-just-because-its-been-in-ziplock-an-hour-its-mushy mush.

Yep, so last weekend I went with my friend Katie to the suburbs of Madrid to go try the artifical ski slope at Xanadu.  When we were finished she whooped out the most perfect pbj ever.  As she gave it to me, she said, “you know how to keep it from getting mushy, right?”  Oh Katie, Katie, what a GENIUS.  Katie explained to me, “you have to put peanut butter on both sides so the jelly can´t get to the bread.”

Katie is a PBJ genius.  I am spreading the secret so all can enjoy a non-mushy pbj on the run.
