Wishing for Plinko, winning a dinette set and a daybed.
It's like that.

The Truth.
Sometimes rinsing out an empty peanut butter jar seems like the hardest thing you'll do all day. I bet even the staunchest environmentalists grimace a little when the peanut butter runs out. No one likes to rinse that jar.
So so true. I don't know how many times I have thrown it in the trash because I HATE trying to get it clean enough to throw in the recycling bin. But then,I can't stand myself and I have to dig them out of the trash can, and scrub them clean. This usually involves a good deal of swearing.
I just fill it with warm water and a bit of soap and let it just sit on the sink edge, slowly fermenting to hopefully make it just a pour out and be done with it...
but that never works and it ends up just being a rank mess. Couldn't agree with your post more!
best solution i have found: give it to the dog. it gives you both at least 30 mins of entertainment. the dog ends up pushing the jar all over the house, trying to get her tongue to reach the last tasty bits at the bottom. and when it's all over you have a clean [sort of] jar and a happy dog!
Hey Amalia! That's actually a great suggestion. And I like how you categorize it as entertainment. -Babe, do you want to go to the movies? -No, Babe. We have an empty peanut butter jar and a dog. -Good point, Babe. I'll make the popcorn.
That was a conversation between you and Dust-- in case you missed that.
Jessica Martin grew up on her family’s farm in Brockport, New York. She spent her formative years talking to herself in the mirror and memorizing lines from Full House episodes. She graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Television, Radio and Film and that proved to be worthwhile in that she still enjoys all of those things. After living in San Francisco, New York, and Boston, Jessica has learned the importance of light layers, irony, and remembering how people take their coffee.
A fortune cookie once told her that she finds beauty in ordinary things, and she liked this. But then another fortune cookie told her that she liked horse racing and gambling, but not to excess, so she’s not entirely sure what to believe. She sort of thinks fortune cookies should stop pretending they know her so well.
Open-Eyed Sneeze is her first book.

same boat, becky. peanut butter should come in a toothpaste tube to eliminate the guilt.
