And, in some cases, salmonella!
I used to not buy the Smucker's peanut butter because it was much more expensive than the other brands. One day I decided to buy it because my grandmother always ate it. I'll never switch away from Smucker's now! Once, out of curiosity, I tried some of my roommate's JIF. Big disappointment. The Smucker's is so much better (and with a name like Smucker's, it HAS to be good...)

It's so easy to make it's a crime to pay for them believe me....and they are SO MUCH better than store bought stuff.

Ok, we need a base recipe now!
What with the other talk of beans -- I'm going to have to make chili before the weather gets too warm...
