I buy store brands too, or whatever I have a coupon for and/or is in sale. I'm not a peanut butter snob.

Years ago, the Krogers supermarket chain had a strong presence in this area. Their peanut butter came in all sizes of containers, including a pail which I think held 5 pounds of peanut butter. Almost every night before bedtime, Dad and I had a ritual. We would each get out our respective crackers (Dad liked saltines, I liked Ritz). Dad would set the pail of peanut butter in the middle of the kitchen table. We would each take our spreaders, dig into the peanut butter and spread it on our crackers.

Alas, Krogers left the area and my father passed on. I've never found peanut butter quite as good as Krogers and certainly not in five pound containers. But sometimes in memory of my dad, I get out the crackers and peanut butter. Never mind what Michelle and the food police say. Still one of my favorite snacks.
