Haha, zero judgment. I could see how it might work with a milder rye. Will definitely try next time I have some on hand!

Cutting style is such a big thing for me when it comes to PB&J sandwiches!

Yes, same--it definitely influences the experience for me! What's your preferred style?

Totally! I love PB&J cut in half, it just makes it that much tastier for me.

I know, right?! Kind of crazy, but also kind of amazing (especially when consumed one on of those “I don’t feel like cooking” nights)

OMG, where do I start. Fluffernutter, maybe once when I was a kid. No thanks. Favorites: 1. On sliced fresh Italian [slightly sour] with Teddys' smooth, local low-sugar jams. 2. For eating ASAP, good whole wheat toasted, Teddy's smooth, jam. 3. Wrap with banana, jam, Teddy's. These actually are great for hiking as the wrap [mostly] contains everything and you can assemble so that air doesn't oxidize the bananas. Separately, PB&Bacon is divine. No jelly.

Love the PB&J passion! :) Teddy’s is a great peanut butter—and glad to have someone else with me on team unsweetened PB! All your options sound wonderful too.

Thanks! It’s a rooting reflex, PB&J. I would probably eat them more, but I have a rule now that all bread in my home has to be homemade. That has had the effect of reducing my consumption [good,] improving my baking [good] and causing me to hoard my good bread in the freezer [mixed bag.]

I did spy a loaf of rye sourdough while digging my chest freezer recently, I think it’s my last. I’ll pull it out and make some PB&J! Have some rhubarb/strawberry jam from my friend Sarah too. I’m feeding the starter as I write to make a new batch.

Keep up the enthusiasm!

That sounds like a great rule! I’ve been working on my first sourdough starter—I can’t wait to make bread with it.
