Peanut Butter Crisis ’11

In case you haven't heard already, we are about to face an unprecedented peanut butter crisis.  Due to the worst peanut crop in 30 years, the price of peanut butter is expected to rise (if it hasn't already) in the coming days and weeks.   

This might not seem like a big deal for some of you - but for myself - an avid peanut butter lover - this is headline news!  I absolutely LOVE peanut butter - I eat it on a regular basis with sliced apples, in protein shakes and all by itself with a giant glass of milk.  Needless to say, a significat price increase could significantly affect my food shopping budget.   

Don't worry though, because I've taken precautions - I've got enough of that peanut buttery goodness to last me through the winter and beyond.  That's right, I am fully prepared for the peanut butter crisis of '11 and anticipate looking back at this time period with a smile - because nothing got in the way of me and Skippy!
