I have some great news... today's Peanut Butter Lover's Day! I guess I'm going to have lot of people with me, enjoying a snack of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The feel of crunchy peanuts on top of bread is too good to be true and if U have a banana along with too, then you can join Elvis...'coz his favorite sandwich was peanut butter and banana!
