Three-Ingredient Thursday: Lunch
This is it: the end of ten weeks of three-ingredient Thursdays. I hope you enjoyed looking at food you weren’t eating, and perhaps making and eating it yourselves.
Today’s is a classic Australian school lunch that for some reason hasn’t crossed the Pacific. Maybe today’s the day.
Yep, it’s a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Aussie readers will be frowning at this, saying, “That’s not a recipe. That’s LUNCH.” American readers will be frowning at this, saying, “But where’s the jelly? Oh, those silly Australians don’t know how to make a sandwich.”
Perhaps we can all try one another’s sandwiches, and unite the world. Peanut butter and honey/jam/jelly (we antipodeans call “jelly” jam – our “jelly” is American “jello”) is delicious, believe me.
If, gentle reader, you have a new sandwich-related cultural experience this week, do come back and tell us all about it.
Tomorrow: My pick of the top five novels that I’ve read in preparation for the mighty writing conferences of August/September. There will be zombies, first love, an evil Santa, a gay best friend, war, and Anonymity Jones.
In other news, “Peace Hostage” ends this Saturday – but I’ll continue posting rainforest pics until the end of the month. On September 1, the new story, “Killer Robot Cat” begins. Personally, I can’t wait.
In the meantime, here’s your rainforest pic for today:

That is my favorite sandwich!!! I love how the honey kinda crystalizes. Also love apple slices with peanut butter.

Where are you from, Kristi? Too bad I’m allergic to apple at the moment, or I’d give that horrifying-sounding combo a try.

I’m originally from Canada, but I’m currently living in California with my new husband. ‘Tis a shame about the apples. I have a strong love for peanut butter and honey, together or separate. 🙂
