Happy National Peanut day to you, Barnmom! I think an occasion like this calls for a Thai Peanut salad!

What timing - we had peanut butter on sourdough toast this morning as part of our breakfast and I have a loaf of Peanut Butter Quick Bread in the freezer I could take out on such an occasion. -Grainlady

I think a lot of things are being recalled, they aren't necessarily tainted but I think it's wise to not take a chance on them. That's why Kellogg's recalled their Keebler crackers and cookies before any product was found that was a problem. I know they found a package of the Austin brand peanut butter and cheese crackers with that strain of salmonella here in Michigan in Kalamazoo. My own favorite, Peter Pan Honey Roasted was the subject of a salmonella recall a couple of years ago, but Peter Pan has issued a press release stating that they don't get any of their peanut products from the company in question, so I'm happily eating that. I don't know about Jif, Skippy, etc. I very seldom buy the prepackaged cookies, crackers, etc., but I bought some of the Keelber cheese crackers with peanut butter for Bud and Makayla and called Amanda and told her to throw them away. I'll replace them with just plain cheese crackers or something, they were for Makayla's lunches at school. Annie

If you want something a little different, you might like this recipe. I use to make this peanut butter and chocolate cookie tart all the time to take to the school bake sales when my son was young. The teachers would buy up the trays before they ever made it too the bake sale table. I'm not a peanut butter fan, so I've adapted the recipe over the years to make a shortbread cup for the chocolate filling. This is what the cookie looks like as the shortbread version. The peanut butter version looks the same except the cookie dough is a more golden brown. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Peanut butter and chocolate cookie Tarts ======================================== Dough 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup peanut butter smooth 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 tsp vanilla 2 1/4 cups flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda Chocolate filling 4 oz semisweet chocolate 1 Tablespoon Milk 2 Tablespoons cocoa 1/3 cup butter 2 cups sifted Icing Sugar . Cream butter with peanut butter until very smooth. Beat in sugars. Beat in egg and yolk. Add vanilla. Sift flour with baking soda and mix well. Stir into butter mixture. Press balls of dough into well buttered mini muffin tins. Each ball of dough should be about 3/4's the size of the muffin tin - when you intent the centre it should form the shape of a pudgy little tart shell. Bake in preheated 350ÃÂ°F oven for 15 minutes or until outside is baked but inside is still chewy. Do not over bake. Cool five minutes on rack and then remove from tins. Cool completely. Filling Combine chocolate, cocoa, milk and butter in small saucepan. Melt over low heat. Mix until smooth. Cool. Beat in icing sugar to give consistency of icing. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling into each tart. Note: YOu can spoon the filling in to the centre, but it looks nicer when piped.

I can't eat peanut butter because of a peanut sensitivity but I sure do crave it. I miss having peanut butter toast soldiers dipped into my tea. I just found a good substitute in sunflower seed butter - same mouth feel and texture with crunchy bits of sunflower seeds. I tried almond butter but found it too gritty for me. I used to love York or Skippy peanut butter. I don't think they make York peanut butter anymore.

That's correct grammahony, no flour in this recipe. It's gluten-free this way so they're acceptable for celiacs (gluten-intolerant people). My (celiac) sister has tried this recipe and says they're quite a bit sweeter than our old fashioned "Mom's recipe" PB cookies, but they're very good and nice to have something that normally would be out of the diet. I had suggested she experiment a bit with rice flour or something, but since this works, go with it. Now this has me hungry for peanut butter cookie dough! I tend to eat a bunch of the dough before it gets baked! But a batch is still good. These also work with a chocolate chip in them, a chocolate star or a Hershey's Kiss.

Kings Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg makes the best....may need to do this for dinner!

from King's Arms Tavern
Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia

Serves 10-12
Ingredients:

* 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
* 1 medium onion, finely chopped
* 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 8 cups Chicken Stock* (or low-salt canned chicken stock)
* 2 cups smooth peanut butter
* 1 1/2 cups light cream or half-and-half
* Finely chopped salted peanuts, for garnish

Instructions:

In a large saucepan or soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, three-five minutes.

Stir in flour and cook two minutes longer.

Pour in the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour into a sieve set over a large bowl and strain, pushing hard on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible. Return the liquid to the sauce pan or pot.

Whisk the peanut butter and the cream into the liquid. Warm over low heat, whisking often, for about five minutes. Do not boil.

Serve warm, garnished with the chopped peanuts.
