The struggle was my rough Wednesday being represented through my salad presented in the next post. The struggle was also the process of making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I was watching 30 Rock in my living room finishing up my homework when I craved a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I pulled out my bread, my almond butter and my lingonberry jam that my mother gave me for Easter.
Just as I was attempting to open the new jar of Lingonberry, Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, happened to pick up a full water cooler to replace the old one.
"Liz Lemon and her Water Cooler"
Liz Lemon struggled with changing the water cooler and I struggled with opening a jar of lingonberry jam. It was like we were struggling together.
Liz and I, I and Liz, both struggling and both trying to defeat the gendered stereotypes that men can do the hard work like switching a water cooler and opening a jar of jam.
Liz defeated the water cooler with water puddles on the ground. I was defeated by the lingonberry jam jar with a puddle of sweat on the ground.
I axed the lingonberry jam for my sandwich and went for my Raspberry jam in the fridge and had a PB&J with Raspberry jam.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
2 pieces of bread (toasted or not toasted)
peanut butter (or almond butter as I had)
Jelly (of any flavor your desire or can open)
Place two pieces of bread on a paper towel or plate. Spread peanut (almond) butter on each slice of bread and then spread jelly on each side. Put the two slices together and eat.
I went the un-hipster way and ate my food before taking a picture of it.
Oops.
