Unsolicited Testimonial on Toast with Jelly
So. Mall of America -- pretty much just another mall, except that there's only one Starbucks in it, and there's an amusement park in the middle. Of the mall. Not the Starbucks.
We did some eating and some shopping and some watching of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Anne and I were both kinda embarassed at how funny we thought it was. But then, we'd just spent six hours driving through Wisconsin, so consider the context, is all I'm sayin'.
I was a little disillusioned that we'd spent all freakin' day in a car surrounded by Wisconsin drivers -- who are no better than Illinois drivers when it comes to knowing what the fuck the far left lane is for, DICKSMACKS!!! -- just to get to a mall, of which there are several awesome ones within a half an hour of home, when we discovered...
P.B. Loco.
That was one loooooooooooong sentence, dude.
But who cares! Did you hear the angels singing when you read P.B. Loco? Probably not because I'm sure there's a P.B. Loco in heaven, and all the angels' mouths are gooey with sweet, sweet peanut butter.
P.B. Loco is a store ALL ABOUT THE PEANUT BUTTER. It is, indeed, a wonder to behold. And I say that reverently, from my heart.
They have different flavors, like Banana, Cinnamon & Raisin and White Chocolate (all of which I brought home to Husband), and toppings like apples, vanilla cream cheese and pickles.
You can have one of their sammiches off the menu, or create one of your own. Anne was brave and had the Tropical Twist, but I'm a chicken and had White Chocolate P.B. with bacon bits. It was in-fucking-credible, with the melty-creamy-sweet and the salty-chewy arghlrghlrghlrghl... I'm telling you, it's goddamn BRILLIANT!
The possibilities are endless! One of the teeny-boppers sitting next to us had Creamy P.B. with marshmallow spread and M&Ms. That'd be so awesome! For the first three bites... and then I'd need a gallon of milk. And a root canal.
Oh, and the sammiches are served with a handful of animal crackers. Charming! Delightful! Love it!
I know, I'm going on and on about some stupid peanut butter store, but you weren't there! You can't imagine the glory that is P.B. Loco! I can't wait to go back. (PJ?) I'll be stalking the website to see if/when they're opening one in Chicago. In the meantime, I think I'm gonna have a P.B. party with, like, a buffet of toppings and stuff! Wheeeeeee!
Hey, maybe that's what a Pirate Party Menu entails...?

So basically, it was an upscale store selling Koogle? Brilliant.
