Tomorrow is Christmas Day or December 25, a week before 2015. Tomorrow I get to indulge in some Christmas food, like fruit cake. I'm sure I'll have some posts on each of the different foods that I'm going to eat or try, that I haven't already posted about.
Besides posting more on this blog, I'm considering starting a blog where I talk about restaurant that I visit and what I liked and disliked about them. I hate giving bad reviews, but I would rather give restaurant advice to people, so they can try and avoid bad restaurant. However, I'm sure it won't come to bad reviews and, even if it did, people could have a different opinion.
If I do start a blog, it probably won't be until next year. If and when I do start a restaurant blog then I would link it to this blog for my viewers to find easily.

Good old Peanut Butter & Jelly
One of the simplest sandwiches, Peanut Butter & Jelly can be great for a quick snack (as long as you have all the ingredients). All you need is peanut butter, jelly and bread. Believe me when I say, sometimes you can be surprised when you go to make one and find all the ingredients used or just as surprised when you end up having more than one.
The first ingredient in the name is peanut butter. Peanut butter can be crunchy or smooth. There are actually several varieties of peanut butter. Personally, I prefer the original peanut butter, but I don't overly care if it is crunchy or smooth, crunchy is just harder to spread around. I think smooth is more economical, though, because the crunch stacks high and results in using more so it doesn't last as long. At least peanut butter is fairly neat.
The second half of the name is jelly. There are several different kinds of jelly and I've made a few of them. I've made blackberry jelly, I just need to make sure that I leave enough blackberries to make the jelly. After you boil down the blackberries there is a lot less of it, so you need a lot to start with. Making jelly is a fairly simple operation. You know what they say, 'The toast always lands jelly side down.' Jelly can get rather messy.
I would recommend using the cheapest bread you can because between the peanut butter and jelly, it is hard to taste the bread. In this instance, I tend to use white bread or Italian bread.
