Also, Nutella is disgusting. You are missing nothing, Austruck.

SAME. I detest the taste of peanut butter, or peanuts, or... well, yeah, any of that stuff. Pleh. I grew up on tuna sandwiches or bologna sandwiches in school.
I always found bologna sandwiches to be a pretty good friend repellent. When I switched to peanut butter I made a friend. Of course, he was imaginary but twas a friend nonetheless.

I like almond butter and cashew butter and all sorts of nut spreads, but not peanut. Though I do love an almond and raspberry jam sandwich.
Some are okay and pass the test (walnuts and almonds are okay in other things), and hazelnut flavoring in SOME things is okay. But once it starts to taste too much like peanuts, I walk away. Sad that I cannot enjoy Nutella like the rest of the world, though. It looks yummy.

No, I don't even know how it tastes. We don't eat this stuff here. This is a stereotypically American thing. :P

There's a local place that makes very fancy ice cream sandwiches, and one of the flavors is peanut butter cookies with grape ice cream between, IE: PB&J but in ice cream sandwich form instead of sandwich sandwich form.

It is quite good.

Fear is a natural reaction. After all, Russia has nuclear weapons. But even Russia's name for the mobilization of nuclear weaponry is called a deterrent. Historically, nuclear weapons were used to rather wreak fear than wreak havoc. Yes, there are still some dregs of a chance that Putin will decide to resort to a nuke, but there's hope that his subordinates will finally stand up to him in such a case. After all, it's totally unreasonable to risk a nuclear war over Ukraine. I'd definitely stop worrying (I know it's easy to say...). If nukes won't be used, there's little reason for fear. If they will, there soon won't be any reason for fear.
You know what, this has actually made me feel better. Hat off. (No, I am not being sarcastic).
I suppose you will have to split the difference and raise your kids in an artisan sandwich household.

I'm still aghast at the idea that my plate ware is possibly riddled with lead.
