So, perhaps Ilana's mom was right on. <br /><br />Dennis, thanks again for coming out to the luncheon, along with a chunk of the local blogger posse. And, yes, I was a bit surprised to discover I have a husband I didn't know about. Mercy! ... as I'm fond of saying.jessiexhttp://www.twitter.com/jessiexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-34655703415785799712010-06-18T00:00:48.667-04:002010-06-18T00:00:48.667-04:00Well, dang!

I walked into the middle of the peanut butter conversation at the Audrey Robbins event, offered a very significant comment (to my thinking) about organic peanut butter needing refrigeration, and I get no mention in this blog post? What am I, chopped liver?<br />And,... the luncheon was the 35th annual Audrey Robbins Humanitarian Awards. It's a big deal because it celebrates, not only the people and organizations that have helped to improve the quality of life for all Howard County residents, but also the unique partnership that exists in this county between nonprofits, faith-based organizations, government, and for-profit organizations.

For the record: Congratulations Donna Wells, NAMI-Howard County, Kathy Dugan and Susan Rosenbaum.

(5th paragraph.) <br /><br />And as my lovely bride has said, no, we do not keep peanut butter in the fridge. We are one of those wonderful Columbia mixed marriages, she coming from a Jewish family, me from a Catholic one (so our children are growing up in an environment of both guilt AND shame) and the placement of peanut butter was non-negotiable. <br /><br />Also, neither ketchup or mayonnaise require refrigeration, other than for flavor preference.Dave Bittnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092017296180707052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-55873276683321509312010-06-17T08:51:36.595-04:002010-06-17T08:51:36.595-04:00For the record... we don't keep PB in the frid...For the record... we don't keep PB in the fridge, but my mom did when I was a kid. I asked her about it yesterday and she claimed the Skippy packaging says to refrigerate. I cehcked it out on peanutbutter.com's "Ask Skippy":<br /><br /><br />User: <br />Do I have to refrigerate?<br /><br /><br />Agent: <br />Unopened and opened jars of peanut butter may be stored at room temperature; refrigeration is not necessary.<br /><br />Keep the jar tightly closed and store in a cool place. Storage temperature affects product quality.<br /><br />Excessive heat will accelerate the loss of fresh flavor and cause oil separation. Cold temperatures, even above freezing, can change peanut butter's consistency, texture, and thickness.<br /><br />Peanut butter may be refrigerated to retain the product's optimum flavor, but it will not be as easy to spread. Freezing is not recommended.ilana Bittnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317657308606032866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-14471941328107961272010-06-16T21:26:23.902-04:002010-06-16T21:26:23.902-04:00You "readily admit when you're wrong"...You "readily admit when you're wrong"?????????<br />SURELY YOU JEST!!!!!!!!
