peanut butter jelly tip

you have to refrigerate jelly and jam after you open the jar.  but you don't have to refrigerate the peanut butter.  in fact, if you leave it out, it's even easier to spread.  before college i used to put our peanut butter in the fridge and it was always a challenge to make a pbj sandwich. 
 
anyway, my point is that when you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, first use a knife to spread the peanut butter, and if you're lazy, use the same knife to spread some jelly.  you might end up with trace amounts of peanut butter in the jelly jar but that's fine, it won't go bad. 
 
and as always, make sure to spread the peanut butter and jelly to the farthest edges of the crust.

you have to check the PB label. if you have TJ's (or some other "no preservatives" brand), you HAVE to refrigerate!
