Skippy peanut butter is a
real treat. I, Erin, always tried to convince
John we should only buy Adams peanut butter when we lived in the states. I like the strong peanut flavor and especially
the lack of added ingredients, namely sugar.
We are able, thankfully, to buy peanut butter here, but it comes in the
smallest jars I’ve ever seen and with
the added sugar. Though Skippy too has
added sugar, it was a nice treat the other day when John brought it home from
the store… a taste of home.

You could call it a 'travel size' jar of peanut butter.
The jar is about 5oz.

You know you live overseas when…the
answer to your husband’s question of, “Did you find ants in the rice?” was, “Only
around the edges.” I’ve gotten use to
fishing bugs out of many of our food items, though it does still bother me occasionally. I usually only do this with uncooked items
and those not easily replaced. So John
was surprised when I answered him in this way with the cooked rice as it is so easy to
come by here!
You know you live overseas when…you
assume the itchy spot on your arm is a mosquito bite, then by the end of the
day you are sure it is not, but unsure as to what it really is. Thankfully it has not grown nor is it itchy
anymore, but it is as red as ever.
Hopefully it is not another “Monster Inside of Us.” (see the May post)
