Did you know that if you eat two hardboiled eggs for breakfast each day, you'll go through more than a dozen in a week? That seems obvious, but I hadn't done the math until this morning.

Another thing happens, too. I like eggs and I wouldn't have thought I'd easily get tired of eating them, but I'm here to tell you it happens fast.

"Delicious"es are supposed to be sweeter? Huh. I don't like any of 'em because they taste like nothing. (Fuji & Gala are my favorites, unless I'm dipping them in cheese or chocolate or caramel, in which case Granny Smith works better.) I wouldn't have thought there'd be enough variation between varieties to make a nutritional difference like that.

Other things to do with peanut butter:

* There is a groundnut and kale soup in one of the Moosewood books. These guys (http://jugalbandi.info/2008/05/african-kale-pineapple-and-peanut-stew/) have the recipe up and say you can replace the pineapple with bell pepper.

* Mix with soy sauce, a little extra oil, and spices of your choice to make satay dip for chicken or tofu or what-have-you.

That's what the sheet says... I think. Maybe I memorized it backwards! I haven't had apples since the start of this, so I haven't looked it up for a while.

MMMSATAY. I definitely want to learn to make this, without of course the traditional fish sauce base!

[edit, mostly for me: satay1 satay2 satay3 satay4]
Looks like there's a lot of coconut milk, soy sauce, chili pepper, lemon or lime, and of course sugar, which I'll simply omit. Woohoo!
