Rachel has her friend Molly over--Molly was in her Kindergarten class for about 2 months and then they decided to home school, however, she and Rachel have remained good friends over the years.
We were making lunch and I needed more PB for the boys. I got a new case of PB out and Molly was shocked to see so much PB in one place!! She'd never seen a case before. She asked me if that was the only one we had to which the kids told her we had about 6 of those. I'm a little nervous about what she's going to report to her parents...weird PB people!
Anyway, this opened yet another PB conversation in which Jonah exclaimed that "Utah peanut butter is the best!" Utah peanut butter would be Skippy. The peanut butter we buy is from the Cannery. Here in Houston we have the Peanut Butter plant where all the peanut butter is made for the church. A few times a years we are asked to take a shift on the PB run. A PB run is about 72 hours long I believe...I have had to work the 10 pm - 3 am shift before. It's actually quite fun...a little like the opening to Laverne and Shirley...hair nets and all. My favorite job is sending the jars through the labeler. My least favorite jobs are watching the peanuts go down the conveyor belt to pick out the 'badduns' (give me some Dramimine)AND watching other people's kids while they work on the run.
The deal is that you can only purchase PB if you have worked on the PB run in some way. They allow so many cases to be purchased and the rest goes to church welfare. So if you ever see them unloading supplies in Africa or somewhere and you see peanut butter coming--it came from Houston!! And contrary to Jonah's tastes...it is very good.

We have missed out on the mormon peanut butter, my kids title, the last few times since we have not been able to work. We have to settle for Jif from Costco,but I do love the mormon peanut butter!
We've never purchased the PB from the cannery, but now after seeing that they have Texas stickers on them, I want some !!!!! :o)
