Ever since I was a kid I loved peanuts. PB&J was my favorite lunch. Peanut butter crackers for snacks, apples with peanut butter for desert. Peanut butter cookies for Christmas. Baseball or football and hot roasted peanuts is my national pastime. So I guess you can tell I’m a little nutty about peanuts.
