You don't have to stir it repeatedly. You stir it once and then
put it in the fridge. That suffices.

Ah. I don't recall seeing the MaraNatha PB on the recall list.
BTW, there were a couple of recalls today. One involved PB
cookies, and one (I suspect) contained peanut oil.

I know her as a poster too, and I agree. I never said or implied that it was
out of malice, I simply said she was replying to a post that Julie didn't
make.

No, they have an over-sized fridge and throw everything out and fill it
back up again with stuff they can't/won't/don't eat.

I didn't notice it wasn't Julie. Not surprising that someone is playing
with her, though.

No we don't. We have a small side by side. It's the only size that will
fit in the spot in the kitchen. We also have a little one that is just a
step up from a dorm sized. It's doesn't keep a good temp. So we only use
the freezer for blue ice and the fridge for drinks that don't have to have
refrigeration.

But I _like_ my homemade nut butter - I eat it almost every day and
probably go through a jar a week by myself.

Settling is an interesting thing - my homemade stuff never settles
enough for me to notice except if I take it with me somewhere, e.g., on
a car ride that's a few hours long. By the time I get there, I can see
that the jostling has started to separate the oil and the solids.

I've never refrigerated my stuff - can't see why I would as it keeps
just fine on the counter for as long as it takes us to eat it here.

I'm convinced that almonds are great for you and I'm not convinced that
peanuts, which aren't even nuts, are all that great in terms of health.
That's why I made mine mostly almonds then played around until I had a
combination that I liked the taste of.

I think there's a whole interesting, and probably flamed-filled,
discussion to be had on why we eat what we eat. Some folks will say, no
doubt, that all they care about is that their food tastes good and who
cares if it's good for you or not. I am definitely not in that camp.
It's nutrition, it's sustenance, and knowing how good for me or not
someithing is really matters to my enjoyment of eating it, probably
because I've found that eating better makes me feel better and feeling
good long-term always trumps the transient pleasure of how something
tastes.

All of which is my way of saying that store-bought peanut butter may
taste better than my homemade mostly-almond butter, but not by enough
that I'm going to eat it.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary and all that.

When I buy a jar of PB, it's gone in a few days. What do you do, eat
one gram of it per year?

Your paranoia might be helped by a good psychiatrist!!!! (and not

Once in a while I have a peanut butter sandwich or I have it with some apple
slices or dill pickles. I am eating whole wheat bread now and for some
reason I don't really like peanut butter with that. I prefer it on white
bread. But since there are only the two of us and daughter has to eat whole
wheat, I can't buy two different loaves of bread. Wouldn't be a problem if
my husband were here because he eats a lot of sandwiches.

Guess what dumb****, I do watch the news. And I watch out in my every

Coincidentally, in the interim, I thought I'd try almond butter
mixed with flax and pumpkin seeds. I dunno how it will compare
tastewise, but it will probably be more healthful, without the
possible aflatoxins. Oh great, Dr, Weil says that aflatoxins have
also been found in pecans, pistachios and walnuts... and other
things.

Apparently. I do not seem to be getting them when other people are, but
then... Frontier seems to be all screwed up. I sent myself an e-mail just
because it was quicker to do it that way than to go another route. Or it
should have been. Took over an hour for me to actually get the e-mail.

Really? Lovely. My favorite nut of late has been the hazelnut. Kind of
hard to find them though. Most places don't seem to sell them. I did get
them in bulk at Winco today. They are fine but I really hate buying bulk
nuts because you just never know how old they are or if they cleaned the bin
out well before filling it.

Unfortunately, I understand this email issue. Verizon's delivery
leaves a lot to be desired. Therefore, I have a lot of things
coming in through my old email address, including the alerts in
question. If I want to reply, I have to do so through my new
email address. That is awkward, but at least I stand a better
chance of getting the emails.

Yes, really. But peanuts hold a higher risk. I don't THINK I
saw hazelnuts, which I love, mentioned. Almonds were mentioned.

So what is this I ought to be worried about when eating almonds?

According to Weil, there can ba aflatoxins in almonds.

I know I could Google, but do you want to tell me what an aflatoxin is
and why I should be concerned? This is the first time I've heard the
term.
