FYI

There are a lot of cool things in this world that I am absolutely not onboard with (Hello, Twitter?! Why does anyone actually care?? FourSquare? What are we doing now, enabling stalking?!)

So please tell me if I am way behind on this one too. I just recently started eating (read: INHALING) almond butter instead of peanut butter, and I think it’s delicious. Scrumdidlyumptious delicious, actually. So that’s cool. But that isn’t my point. In addition to inhaling almond butter by the churning vat, I also just tried SunButter….and I love it!

I got a sample at a race a few months back and it’s been sitting in my pantry ever since. Seeing as I have no food whatsoever (I can’t help it! I’m in and out over the span of 2 weeks!), this sucker went into my lunchtime oats. Loved it loved it loved it! Kinda actually reminded me of peanut butter really, with a little bit more thin/runny of consistency. (My friend Cindy thought the color and consistency reminded her of baby poop). But don’t let that deter you. It’s tasty! Made from sunflower seeds, I don’t know that there are any benefits to it over peanut or almond butter, but I do know that it’s great for people with peanut allergies or that need to eat gluten free. I’m neither, but I like it so whatever.

It’s also apparent to me that you can turn anything into a spread–peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter. I think I’m gonna invent my own mixed nut blend. Maybe mix them all together and call it PealSun Butter (get it?!). It could be a delightful concoction of nutty flavors on your tongue. And that shall be my motto.

On another note, Cindy also mentioned that she puts peanut butter in her cottage cheese! Is that weird to anyone besides me?!!

Also, my dog is wicked pissed at me. I’ve totally failed the three strike rule with her in the span of 24 hours: 1) I left her for a week. She hates that. 2) I came back, and immediately gave her a bath today which frosts her cookies even more. 3) The bath stirred up all her ridiculous furryness and I couldn’t get rid of it so I vacuumed her. Yes, with my vacuum. I did feel a little guilty cause she is terrified of the vacuum but I figured we could work through it together. I managed to suck up an entire filter full of hair before my guilt got the better of me. But don’t worry; Tals and I worked it out. She got an hour-long walk as well as a bonus bone filled with meaty goodness. She probably thinks I’m the biggest pushover ever now.
