Tuesday's Tip: Coffee and Peanut Butter

What, you may ask, does coffee and peanut butter have to do with writing? My answer is that both of them help me write. Coffee helps wake me up while peanut butter, eaten directly from the jar, makes a quick breakfast. I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot write on an empty stomach. I can struggle through writing with an uncaffeinated mind and body; it is not easy, but I can do it for short periods of time. However, I have difficulty focusing on writing when my stomach is growling.

I eat peanut butter directly from the jar because I have to cut down on my bread consumption. I decided that i would rather have a turkey burger sandwich then a peanut butter sandwich. I am not sure why, but eating a turkey burger without out bread and hot mustard is difficult. On the other hand, eating peanut butter or peanut butter and jelly without bread is no problem. This is my opinion and I sure that other people have their own opinions on this subject.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich: A Poem

The aroma of fresh bread,
one slice spread
with peanut butter
and the other slice
with grape jelly.

Heavenly!

I am going to work primary and general election this year

I am going to work the election polls again this year. I work the polls all day long, from 6:00 AM to about 7:00 PM, so I have to take something with me to eat and a book read or a manuscript to edit.

The past few years my lunch has consisted of one or two items of food or cold Hobo stew. This year I am going to take a different approach to my meal. This year I have to take a different approach because at 62 I need to eat healthier. I have to start eating healthier because I have an ulcer.

I think the best thing to do come up with a menu for myself. I will have my entire set of dentures then, so I can eat sandwiches and salads. The problem is what kind of sandwich do I want. I think perhaps a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich. I do not eat that type of sandwich often and it is full of energy. As for the salad, I have no idea what type of salad goes with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I am going to find out.
