Don't Faint... it is me AGAIN!

Yeah, don't faint, I am posting TWO days in a row... that sound you hear is the angels singing... they do that sort of thing whenever a miracle happens...
So, I got a call this morning from my best friend, Jen... This girl is such a sweet friend. She was calling because she heard on the radio that Peter Pan Peanut Butter was being recalled. She knows I buy Peter Pan... again a true sign of friendship, knowing what brand of peanut butter I use... but I digress...
She even knows the call numbers... I walk over to the cupboard... I take out the jar, and sure enough... I have the numbers being recalled. #2111 is BAD... it may contain salmonella and you are supposed to throw it away. Of course, first you should send the lids into Conagra Foods for a full refund... Here is the best part. Do you know how many jars of this tainted junk I have? SIX!!! Yes, I stocked up when they were on sale, and Lincoln has been eating it everyday... So, I am awaiting to see if my poor little man will get salmonella poisoning or not... Lovely.

*** Don't forget to check your PB stash... it is all Peter Pan and Great Value brands, Jars with the numbers starting 2111. Numbers are on the lid. Funny side note there... by listing them both together its like they are admitting, "Yeah, we put Peter Pan in those Great Value jars and charge half price for them..." ***

Now, back to the subject of Jen... So, not only did she call about this, but yesterday, when it was freezing cold, she brought me my mail and brought my trash can back under the carport from the road...without me knowing it. She just did it, never said a word... that is true friendship folks... peanut butter and trash cans...

  3. I love Peter Pan peanut butter...It's really hard to find here in California though. That sucks that it's tainted! I'll have to tell my mom, I know she's got some in her cupbord. We have another thing in common...i used to teach pre-K too! I have no patience for it anymore either LOL. I used to say bring 28 cards with no names on them and then line the kids up to put them in the boxes one at a time. other wise it was pure insanity. The cupcakes and candy didn't help matters much either!
    glad you posted, I missed you! =)

  5. Who buys 6 jars of peanut butter at a time?!? Bless your little heart, you are a strange bird. :) You really can make anything sound nice with that precursor.

    That is a sweet friend. Seriously, how cool is she?? Hope your wee man is okay.

  10. Give Jen a big hug from me. I wish she were my friend!
    Don't worry about the Salmonella poisoning. The boys would've had symptoms by now if the jar was tainted. I also had the GV peanut butter with the 2111 lot#, but since my husband has a cast iron stomach, it didn't effect him even after eating half the jar!

Hope the little one doesn't get sick. I am so glad that you were able to find out and get rid of the PB. I'll go home tonight and check mine too. Be peace....seek harmony, and laugh. Linda

  15. Oh yeah what were you doing buying 6 jars anyway...that sounds like a BJ's or Costco buy...where even if you wanted just 1 jar they make you buy 10!!!
