I have no idea how it got started, nor do I care, it's just a pet peeve of mine, but if you look in a dictionary or use Define online you get: Encarda.com frig [ frig ] (past and past participle frigged, present participle frig·ging, 3rd person present singular frigs) - a highly offensive term meaning to have sexual intercourse with somebody ( there is another even more offensive definition that I will not post ) fridge [ frij ] noun - same as refrigerator www.thefreedictionary.com frig (fr g) v. frigged, frig·ging, frigs Vulgar Slang. v. tr. 1. To have sexual intercourse with. ( there is another even more offensive definition that I will not post ) fridge (fr j) n. Informal. A refrigerator. fridge n. Informal short for refrigerator. Now then back to my problem... The natural peanut butter I buy has at least two tablespoons of oil floating on the top... If I mix it all in the peanut butter it is way too runny, it actually runs out of the sandwich... I only pour off the top layer of oil, there's still an oil slick on top of the peanut butter that I do mix in, and it's more than enough oil to keep it gooey... ( I do not put peanut butter in the FRIDGE [ lol ] ) There for a while we were going through a jar a week and I now have a quart of oil... For the record the peanut butter 'solids/juice' kinda sinks to the bottom of each layer of oil... So I'm guessing that if I let it all come to room temperature all the peanut butter will sink to the bottom of the jar and if I'm very careful I might be able to pour off the oil for frying and not start a fire... I just thought someone here might know... Oh well, if you don't hear from me you know I set the kitchen on fire... lol Rita

My favorite is Peanut Butter fudge,only problem is i can't make it!! Mine never turns out the way it should.I don't mean the one on the marshmallow fluff jar either.So my sisters and niece send me some at xmas time. Also like pb&j sandwiches with either apricot/pineapple jam or blueberry jam,like grape jam,but not grape jelly. On a spoon,straight from the jar. On crackers,especially graham with some marshmallow fluff.But even though i love that last one,i don't eat it anymore,too addicting and too fattening. I also have a recipe for PB frosting on a chocolate cake,YUMMO. Just give me PB and i'll eat it someway. Kathi

I think I'd go for the peanut butter chips, some creamy peanut butter and cream. Heat the cream, pour over the chips and peanut butter to melt and you "should" have something that resembles ganache. I think. This should be interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. Annie

Apologies for the delay on following up on this, and thank you to everyone who responded. I have since refilled the hole pictured above, with the differing soils at their original depths. I hesitate to counter some of the points brought up, please realise I only mean to initiate discussion... Regarding the concept that roots only grow in the top 12" of soil, an immediate logical fallacy is apparent - specimens planted at depth below the surface would, by the 12" theory, have significantly smaller root systems than plants grown at the surface. Asparagus are planted at 10" depth - does that mean their roots only penetrate 2" downward? Clarifying to say the first foot of root growth of the plant, regardless of planting depth, contains the largest number of roots, would make more sense. But we also need to address the elephant in the room - root systems aren't only one foot deep. There is significant root mass beyond that depth, albeit in smaller numbers, due to reduced branching in the increasingly compact soil. Asparagus roots typically surpass 10' in depth. Research carried out by an ecologist and a botanist from University of Nebraska backs up these two points, and the resulting book is a very interesting read and available free online here: http://soilandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/01aglibrary/010137veg.roots/010137ch6.html Now I don't mean to say that TILLING to that depth is beneficial, detrimental, or of neutral value. This is a topic I hope to explore.
