This is a great remedy for removing old stretch marks. Mix together 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and and 1 teaspoon of crisco. Apply the paste to your stretch marks and leave it there for 15 minutes before washing it off. Do this 3 times a week and you will notice your stretch marks disappear.

This past month has been a hectic time for the family here in Long Island what with graduation parties, barbecues, 4th of July parties and the sort of social gatherings that suddenly appear on your social calendar this time of the year.  Sweet Loretta, my better half, usually whips up one of her specialty pies for these hoop-dee-doos that fits the bill perfectly--- something a littl

I am constantly on a search for fun, quick, on-the-go breakfast recipes.

I make a mean chocolate chip cookie... it's so good that must people swear I bought them from a top notch bakery and I'm trying to pass them off as my own.

Sometimes the most wondrous things can come from the most frustrating. Today was a bad pain day, so I spent the day in bed reading and resting. Doogie was a champ and took care of Mia for me.

This morning has been a domino effect of bad baking experiences. First, I ruined a cookie by I don’t know how. It just wasn’t good. Second, I messed up a brownie by forgetting to add half the flour. This has happened enough times for me ...

Huuu..... I'm ready to pengsan. *flops over keyboard*Went grocery-shopping yesterday morning. Was a bit reluctant to leave home because there were still more than half of Pharmaceutics notes to go through and memorise. T-T But seeing that I need to stock up on fresh produce, I terpaksa lah go.So, for lunch today, I made pasta with Campbell's canned mushroom soup. :) I bought a bottle of mixed Italian herbs a few weeks ago. The herbs do spice things up and make them more flavourful, especially pasta dishes.{Must put lots of cheddar cheese. Lots.}And then I tried baking a yoghurt cake. Tak jadi la....

Every jar of peanut butter contains a deadly contaminant that causes suffering and death of both livestock and man. No, it is not saturated fat. The peanuts from which peanut butter is made are susceptible to a mould called Aspergillus. Other crops such as rice, soy, cereals, and corn are also susceptible to this mould. [...]

Yesterday I went to great lengths to bake peanut butter kiss cookies to reminisce. Sometimes the weight of what we remember seems to dictate and equally weighty act of commemoration. But memories don’t always conform to this neat little formula. More often than not the most absurdly mundane things get embodied with special significance in the stuff of memories. My father died two and a half years

In addition to all of the interesting and new things I saw when I was at the New York City Chocolate Show, there were some old favorites as well that I was just as excited to see. One of those was Peanut Butter & Co, which is a company that specializes in gourmet peanut butter and has its own restaurant here in New York. What’s a peanut butter company doing at a Chocolate Show, you may ask? Well, what does peanut butter go so well with? Chocolate, of course! Out of all the gourmet flavors of peanut butter that Peanut Butter & Co make, two of them are with chocolate: “Dark Chocolate Dreams” and “White Chocolate Wonderful.” All I can say is, when I tasted the White Chocolate Wonderful several years ago for the first time, I knew I couldn’t eat regular peanut butter ever again. It’s that good. At the Chocolate Show they were excited to unveil their newest peanut butter creation: the Ultimate Peanut Butter Cup Collection! The collection h

In a small saucepan, put the milk, sugar, 3 tablespoons butter and salt. Stir together over low heat until the mixture is warm, making sure the butter is melted. Add this mixture to the flour and yeast mixture. Add in the egg. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture at low speed for 30 seconds. Then turn the speed on the mixer up to high and beat for 3 minutes. Add in the remaining flour and mix well. Cover the mixture and let it set for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough until it makes a 16 x 10 inch rectangle. Put the peanut butter mixture over half of the dough lengthwise to within 1/4 inch of the edge. Then put the jam on top of the peanut butter. Fold the dough in half so it makes a 16 x 5

I remember making this recipe for peanut butter cookies with my mom when I was a kid. I loved to press down on the dough with a fork after she rolled them. More than a decade passed before I tried making them again when I was in college. My dad had recently bought me my own mixmaster electric mixer, similar to my mom’s Sunbeam mixmaster. Although my new Sunbeam mixer now had a light bulb to illuminate the bowl, the body was entirely plastic and the power was definitely not the same. It worked fine for all my other baking needs until I made this recipe, which resulted in smoke pouring out the back of the mixer. It still worked afterwards, but it was never the same and would stutter at lower speeds. In the mixer’s defense I will admit that I had used hydrogenated peanut butter, which is considerably thicker than real peanut butter. Although I now have a wonderful 75th anniversary KitchenAid stand mixer, I still have to recommend you choose your peanut butter wisely. It’

Then she took me into her mouth. It was my turn to gasp - the water from the shower was still flowing over me and her, and she pushed me to the wall. She teased the tip of me with twirling movements of her tongue, whilst water ran over the the folds of my foreskin, occasionally causing her to surface for air. With a flick of her wrist, she had turned off the flow of water, placed her palms over my thigh and hips and pushed me further into the cold, mosiac tiles of the bathroom. She went in, taking huge mouthfuls of me, alternating between suction and thrust-like motion with her peach-coloured lips.Read it all at BJ Peanut Butter

On a recipe board I am a member of they were discussing cinnamon rolls and someone remembered having peanut butter rolls when they were a child. I had forgotten all about them but I remember a school I attended in 1st grade in the Mid West served these! This recipe is from Fleischmann's yeast and I'm sure that they would be just delicious! If it weren't 90 degree's out today I'd make them, but

Some of you Candy Addicts may have never heard of Boyer’s Smoothie. It is the lesser known sibling of the popular Mallo Cup, and they’re both still made by the the Boyer Candy Company based in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The booming success of the Mallo Cup back during the 1940s led to the birth of the Smoothie along with its even lesser known counterpart The Peanut Butter Cup. The Smoothie is unlike any other candy cup on the market - it’s smooth peanut butter center is covered with butterscotch coating. I was lucky to find a package of Smoothies while on vacation in Florida, at the impressive Candy Kitchen. The package is very retro in design with it’s bold orange-red and golden color motif. The illustration is a tad misleading as it depicts the Smoothies as “taller” than what they actually are. The two cups are same size as the Mallo Cup and their color is a yellowish brown and reminds me of the Reeses’ Inside Out Peanut Butter Cups. The butte

Sorry for the delay. Vacation was great, but I came home with pneumonia. Yikes! Not a fun time. I am feeling much better than I look (so, I keep telling myself). Listen girls, if you need to drop 10-15 pounds in a week the pneumonia diet is the way to go (just kidding!). Since I was feeling much better and had dropped a couple of pounds, I was thinking it was time for an indulgent cupcake. I had wanted to make banana muffins or bread but, it just didn't satisfy the indulgence factor I was looking for. Banana chocolate chip cupcakes? ....mmm? No. Banana cupcakes with a dark bittersweet ganache topped with a rich cream cheese peanut butter icing? YES! The banana cupcake recipe and the ganache is from Kara's cupcake. Kara's recipe calls for a cream cheese icing but I wanted to make it even richer, so I added peanut butter (1/2 cup). The recipe is located at the bottom of the article, so scroll all the way down and enjoy.

Finding fresh-made candy hasn’t been a problem, really. You can step into just about any mall or local old-time candy store and get some candy that was just made that day (or heck, make your own). Getting fresh-made candy in your local big-box store or convenience store isn’t so easy. Yeah, it doesn’t expire til 2010, but who knows when that candy was actually made. Would it taste better if you were eating it closer to the day it was actually made? I never really thought about it til recently. Hershey’s has taken fresh-made candy to a new level with their new “Hershey’s Fresh From The Factory” (FFTF from here on) candy. Here’s the deal: go online and order some Fresh From The Factory candy. Hershey’s ships it to you within 96 hours of it being made at the factory. You can start ordering FFTF candy by the end of May but Hershey’s sent me a jar of their FFTF Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to review a bit early. Upon opening

It’s late Sunday evening, well almost Monday morning if the truth be told…and I have no idea what I’m going to write about so lets just see where it ends up ok? Firstly, let me explain the whole theme change. It’s because of two things really. I was in the mood after doing smummy’s for her, and secondly it seems that my life has stalled of late and I wanted to shake things up a bit! Seems that debambam.net has become a reflection of what is happening with me, and Zoe, and just life in general. I want things to change, so one way to remind myself of that is to change how things looks around here. It’s a daily reminder that somethings gotta give. It inspires me to get off my ass and MAKE the changes rather than waiting for them to come to me. I’m sure I’ll keep customising it till it’s just so..you know what I’m like. I already added my own background and that header is next to go. I’m thinking the pink may be replaced

it has finally happened, turd blossom himself is set to be forced to testify, in public, under oath, before congress on his role in the firings of gonzo's us attorneys. so kudos to congress for, ya know, actually doing something, especailly after the crappy deal that fred fielding (the president's white house counsel) offered them. moreover, you know you're in trouble mr. president when you've called fred fielding in for help. (note: mr. fielding was a deputy white counsel under another president during a scandal. yep, you guessed it, nixon and watergate).not like rove testifying will actually happen, but the idea of rove and miers before a limelight-hogging committee is kinda nice. anywho, the president will surely cite executive privilege (cause they were private conversations) as a way out of this one, and it will all get thrown into the dc circuit court where another recently installed us attorney will have to decide to convene a grand jury on contempt of congress charges f

This seems to be happening all to often. Just off the top of my head, I remember there being a spinach and carrot juice contamination outbreak late last year resulting in deaths and many very sick people. In Australia last week a man was fighting for his life after eating an instant microwave nachos meal. This page gives you a recent Salmonella Outbreak hisory. Now there is a salmonella tainted brand of peanut butter that killed an elderly woman last month and an elderly man from Chicago. At least 300 people so far have become ill after eating the peanut butter. You really have to wonder why this sort of thing happens given the variety of Government health laws that cover food production. The more I hear about these things, the less confident I become in the quality of foods being sold. I’m already one who avoids eating buffets and salad bar food but I don’t often think about canned or jars of food. The problem is that you can’t even tell by looking at or smelli

Nearly 300 people in 39 states have fallen ill since August 2006, linked to a Salmonella outbreak from peanut butter. It is believed to be the first Salmonella outbreak in U.S. history associated with peanut butter. Just two or fewer cases have been reported each day since August, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials said, and it was only in the past few days that investigators were able to focus in on the particular food responsible. The highest number of Salmonella cases reported were in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri. According to the CDC, about 20 percent of the 288 infected people were hospitalized but no one has died.

I made these over the weekend, and le husband claims they're the best cookies I've ever made. That's saying something, seeing the way he obsessively snuffles up molasses cookies. The recipe comes froma Quaker Oats booklet that we've had for some time, and I modified it to suit my preferences. This is also a very good way to use up cranberries, wether left over from thanksgiving or picked up for cheap in the store. The cranberry jam came from Nigella Lawson's "Feast" (which is a fabulous cookbook, in case you're wondering) and is just as easy as can be. It's also good on whatever else needs jam at the moment: english muffins, toasts, croissants. Have at it! Note: I didn't use a full batch of the jam in the pictured bars, and ended up spreading the extra over the top as I ate them.

We are gathered here today to pay homage to our friend, Peanut Butter. What can peanut butter not do?It can be eaten between bread with jelly. It can be eaten on toast.

And lo and behold I am here to tell you today (thanks to the advice of other very wise women) that GLORY OF GLORIES it can REMOVE RED PERMANENT INK FROM BEAUTIFUL NEW OAK KITCHEN TABLES!!!Peanut butter, today we salute you. We love you. We call you more than just a food we eat, more than just a key ingredient of many delicious recipes. We call you our friend (unless we ar

...is my new nutrition staple. I guess because it's quick and easy. I have also mastered the art of finishing a meal in 5.2 seconds flat, cuz we all know how babies have that nifty little radar that tells them when their parents are trying to eat and cues them to scream like all the demons of hell are after them.The livable amount of sleep I have been getting is about to go out the window, as Daddy is about to go on a job and will be gone for like 2 MONTHS. I am in a bit of panic about this as I don't know how I am going to deal with caring for the munchkin all by myself.All this business with the ghost kitty has reminded me of my first ghost encounter. I was on vacation in Oklahoma with my best friend one summer. We were staying at her grandmother's vacation house (which was empty the rest of the year). We were up playing cards one night at like, 2:00 in the morning and I started talking about how sleeping in strange places freaks me out. Pretty soon I had us both creeped out ("You

Just got home from doing some grocery shopping, where I made a pointof going to the peanut butter aisle just to check things out. For thosewho haven't heard, ConAgra recalled Peter Pan peanut butter yesterday.(and yes, there were a couple of gaping holes on the PB shelf at thegrocery store I went to.) Apparently a salmonella outbreak in the U.S.has been linked to Peter Pan. The Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC) noticed a spike in salmonella outbreaks since August2006; once the peanut butter link was determined, the CDC notified theFood and Drug Administration (FDA). Investigations led authorities topeanut butter made after May 2006 at ConAgra's plant in Sylvester,Georgia. It is likely that the contamination was caused by dirty jarsand/or equipment. A ConAgra spokesman stated that the companyrandomly tests 60-80 jars of PB a day for salmonella and other germs,but "had no positive hits on that going back for years." The FDA lastinspected the plant in 2005. (um, can we say
