No good coming to my house, unless you like peanut butter flavored whiskey.

This post raises so many questions

Peanut butter on apple slices is good, though

A 2kg jar of the stuff was delivered with groceries today. for me for the other three.

It's probably going to be lost on you, but there's a huge variation across various brands and textures. There's 'smooth and creamy', there's 'crunchy', etc. I used to hate the stuff (I found it bitter and dry) but eventually found a brand/type that really hit the spot - rich and creamy. Since you have others in the house that like it, maybe try a few different variations!

Peanut Butter flavored whiskey is the same. There are at least 10 different blends each with their own distinct taste, some more peanut buttery than others. So far I prefer Skrewball but I've yet to try the Peanut Butter Chocolate brand.

Yes, I know the differences. When the stepkids were younger I had to get one of each because one preferred crunchy, the other creamy.
Smooth now satisfies both and my MIL. Kraft is favoured. One of the supermarket brands is runny

Never got into PB but funnily enough I really like the peanut sauce that goes with Asian satay.

One of America’s contributions to human civilization is the peanut butter & banana sandwich

How much banana is needed to neutralise the taste of the PB?

Is “neutralise” sort of a synonym for “enhance?”

I suppose it could be as anything with PB will enhance it - as in make it less bad

I posted this in the climate change thread, but also thought about posting it here.

This was published, apparently as a cautionary tale ahead of 4th July, but the story as published leaves several questions. ... If a "fireworks tent" isn't a point of sale, what is it? If a fireworks tent is a point of sale, why was a firework being lit there? Why was someone who claimed to be experienced in handling fireworks, planning to throw a lit fireworks?

At least the victim survived to tell the story.

The concept of a firework tent was alien to me. I wondered if its purpose was maybe to store them if it was raining or for people to stand in/under while watching a display.

Having googled I see that fireworks tents are indeed used for selling fireworks.
I guess this is a UK/US/North America difference in that back in Blighty we'd all buy our own from regular shops and use them in our gardens come November 5 or for larking about before then.

I see them advertised here, but never see anyone buying or even using them. On special days there may be an event somewhere and I'll occasionally hear something in the neighbourhood - presumably similar larking about.

A complete contrast to buying a box of bangers - Cannons, were extra loud and I remember they came with a tip covering the fuse - and having fun.
My favourite was setting them off in freshly laid cow pats. Spectacular.
Dropping them down drains or in glass bottles was good fun too.
But the liberties we took keeping the box in your pocket (something I stopped doing when I saw the annual TV warning that featured a kid who had his penis amputated after doing that and it went off - in more ways than one ), lighting the fuse and waiting for it to fizz a bit before throwing or releasing it down the drain. You had to do that, it would fail if you released it too soon.

You're absolutely right though. They are not designed to be thrown. Although being experienced in using fireworks isn't necessarily the same as being as being safe.

I remember a family do in the garden back in the 60s and a jumping jack jumped up my aunt's skirt. Oh how we laughed.

Hmm .. I don’t really know what the fireworks laws are in New York, but they’re relatively restrictive. Fireworks are only sold from temporary structures, tents, that probably have to be more than a certain distance from buildings etc. Maybe Florida is similar.
