Things I Love As Much as Books (14)

So, I think it's a given that I love to read. Don't we all?
The thing is, though, there are a TON of other things in my life that I love just as much as reading. Sure, most of these things aren't as constant as reading, but they count just as much in my life when I'm loving them.
SO, I decided to start this weekly feature in which I write a short post about something in my life that I am loving just as much as reading!

Simcha from SFF Chat has also started participating in this weekly feature, so be sure to check out what SFF Chat loves as much as books!

Before anything else, let me just apologize for being so absent from the blogging world lately. I have been so lately that I've barely even had time to breathe. I was also sick and being forced to keep moving despite that. Literally every second I have spent in my apartment over the past week or two has been either bathing, sleeping, or preparing to sleep. I have even been reading the same book for the past two weeks. Crazy.

Anyhow, on to the good stuff.
This week, what I love as much as books is
PEANUT BUTTER!!!!


It makes me sad that, from what I can tell, it really does seem to just be an American phenomenon. I mean, after all, the stuff is DELICIOUS! I have been out of cereal and grits and oatmeal and any other appropriate breakfast food lately,
and I find that I have just been eating spoonfuls of peanut butter (that my sister sent me in a care package!) for breakfast.
And it is DELICIOUS!

I wish that peanut butter were less expensive here, because I have been hardcore craving some African Ground Nut Soup, also known as peanut soup. This stuff is delicious, and if you've never had it before, it's absolutely worth trying! I cook it without sugar and chives and with a ground up real tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, and it is PERFECT!

So yeah, peanut butter! Rock!

Thanks for the mention! I'm really enjoying this meme.

My kids also love peanut butter and they would be perfectly happy to eat peanut butter sandwiches for every meal. In Israel chocolate spread is actually really popular and sometimes my kids say they get made fun of for eating PB. But I won't allow chocolate spread in my house because the stuff is nasty, even to a chocolate lover like me.
That soup looks interesting but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to try a peanut soup.

Hope you are feeling well and make sure not to push yourself to do too much.

Peanut Butter is so amazing! I could live off of the stuff haha. I discovered the all natural type a few years back and it's even better than the other one. It tastes even more like peanuts. YUM!
