My father always are Skippy. The glass jars had measurement marks. They were great for catching lightening bugs after my father punched air holes in the metal lid. I'd put them on my dresser at night and by morning, the whole thing was gone. :confused:

Ok I’m a bit slow. Your dad put holes in the lid of a skippy jar . You’d catch bugs and put them in the jar and by morning the whole thing was gone? The jar & bugs were both gone?:shrug:
 
After we were done catching an playing with them we always had to release them before going to bed.

In RR's case I'm assuming that.......holes were poked in the lid so they could get air and both the jar and lightening bugs (fireflies) inside it would be gone in the morning because after she fell asleep her dad or mom would slip into her room, take the jar outside, open the lid and release them.

I like creamy Jiff.This morning for breakfast,spread some on my toasted English muffin
I like putting it on sliced apples too_Once in awhile for lunch will have PB&J-{usually grape} sandwich Sue
 
Yes, we use peanut butter for sandwiches, cooking, on fruits & veggies, and for dog treats.

PB is a good "emergency food" as it requires no preparation and is a handy source of calories, protein, and good fats. We usually keep a few spare jars around, just in case.

I love peanut butter. It has protein, fat and sugar. I will eat a spoonful right out of the jar before I take my daily vitamin [which works better if taken with some fat.]

I usually buy Kroger's brand which is cheaper than the name brands and tastes better to me. I keep my peanut butter in the refrigerator because I like it cold.

Peanuts and Peanut Butter are mainly a New World thing.

Here's an interesting historic overview.

http://www.nationalpeanutboard.org/peanut-info/history-peanuts-peanut-butter.htm


Here's a song from the American Civil War [Goober peas is another name for peanuts.]

Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas.

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.

When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule!"
But another custom, enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.

Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He says "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now."
He looks down the roadway, and what d'ya think he sees?
The Georgia Militia cracking goober peas.

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.

I think my song has lasted just about enough.
The subject is interesting, but the rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over, so free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to goober peas.

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.

Peanuts are not even nuts. Like the above song, they're a type of pea; a legume. I ate some boiled once when in the South, pretty good, but prefer them roasted and salted.

I painted Mr. Peanut on the side of my VW Bug back in the 70's.

In the early 1900s peanuts became a significant agricultural crop when the boll weevil threatened the South’s cotton crop. Following the suggestions of noted scientist Dr. George Washington Carver, peanuts served as an effective commercial crop and, for a time, rivaled the position of cotton in the South.

With an insatiable curiosity and keen knowledge of chemistry and physics, Carver continued his research with the peanut. By separating the fats, oils, gums, resins and sugars, he went on to find many uses for the peanut. In fact, he developed more than 300 new uses for the humble legume. Recipes ranged from peanut lemon punch, chili sauce, caramel, peanut sausage, mayonnaise and coffee. While Carver's list of uses for the peanut included peanut paste, he didn't invent peanut butter.
