He Says: More Pleasant Than Peanuts
A quick thanks to everyone who responded to my request for your reaction to TMI Weekly. I want to create compelling content people (in this case, young women) can relate to. I don’t suspect that formula is a turn on for most and ultimately does more harm than good. But, really, who am I to judge?
The Barney Butter is sadly running low but that didn’t stop Heather from slapping together this bananna-nana wrappy wrap for my lunch yesterday. She made 2, and since I had a big breakfast, I didn’t get to really explore the deep pockets of the Bag of Holding until about 6:30 on my way to the studio from work.
Pleasant is a word people sometimes use to describe a mildly satisfying situation or interaction. Like one galfriend to a ‘nother, “How was that blind date you went on Saturday night?”
“Oh, he had broccoli in his teeth the whole time and didn’t even try to make a move even though I was giving him the green light the whole time. What the hell is that guy’s problem? This is going to torment me the entire week and I’m not going to get any work done! … so I guess it was Pleasant.”
Barney Butter is nothing like that. If regular, off the shelf peanut butter is American English, Barney Butter is the multi-cultural blend of the 2035 United Nations Peace Council of the Future language. It’s not one blunt, heavy flavor cobbled together from what they got lying around the factory room floor. It is a well thought out endeavor into the human digestive system, starting at the beginning and ending at the end. I’m not shilling here – I’m conveying its better than regular PB an all accounts (healthwise too?) and if you give it a chance, can provide you with deep insights into the human condition*, a self reflective meditative state*, and best of all, a handy after work snack.
Seriously guys. Tell me your mouth doesn’t water when you stare this puppy in the face. Give it 3 minutes. Appreciate the improvement in Heather’s photography skills. Explore your inner self. Notice the depth of field despite the lack of a DSLR and proper glass. Obey.
Then there’s the Bag.
Kettle Cooked BBQ chips, Pear, SF Yogurt, 2 Barney Butter and Banana wraps, Eggplant, Trader Joe’s Chicken Massaman and a Candle.
I didn’t eat one of these things. Can you guess which one it was?
Don’t get Hangry! Get Eatin’

I’m going to guess you did not consume the candle…but this is only a guess
Wraps looks tasty.

ahhh now i am feeling like an official IDIOT for not having tried barney butter yet!! the inside of that wrap is enough to make me want to but 30000 jars and just BATHE in it!
not literally, of course. i’d prefer it all go straight into my tummy
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Lovin’ that wrap!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
that looks delicious……….I don’t think washing it all down with a candle would be a good idea
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:46 pm
I think you ate the candle, on account of the poetic waxing re: barney butter.
Okay that was horrible.
January 23rd, 2009 at 3:47 pm
He also brought home the pear and eggplant. Don’t let him fool you!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Seriously, my mouth is watering right now. That wrap looks soooo good. I can’t wait to get my Barney Butter!!!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:02 pm
That wrap looks wonderful! And my vote goes for the candle. They can be very chewy and difficult to digest.

(In zombie tone) I will go get Barney Butter…must have…smother on everything. Thanks for the info. I love hearing about all the great products I would never be able to find if it weren’t for fellow bloggers!
January 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I love your Barney Butter!!!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
wow, what a description. you should submit it to barney butter and they can print that on their jars.
January 23rd, 2009 at 5:22 pm
damn….amazing work heather with that pic of the wrap, didn’t find my inner self tho =)

Hi! Your blog is fabulous! I just Wanted to comment on your previous post. *sigh* It is SO hard to not criticize your body though. Though I totally agree that life is too short, it’s just HARD. Sometimes I’m afraid to weigh myself just so the number on the scale wouldn’t ruin my day and I could live life normally. If only there was an easy solution so all women could move on from self-deprecating thoughts, there would be so much more peace in this world, don’t you think? Maybe it should be a Miss. World project. Keep posting!!

love BB and love that wrap!
I assume that you didn’t eat the candle, didn’t you?
January 23rd, 2009 at 6:16 pm
That wrap looks divine!! Love the review
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Huh. Turns out it’s very easy to make me want to do things. Now I must have Barney Butter. I’m such an easy target for advertisers.
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Barney Butter…couldn’t have said it any better myself.
January 23rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm

For all reasons.

January 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Yeah, Mark you love the BB. I am sorry I used so much in baking muffins and pancakes, I just don’t love it in its straight form as much as you do. Tooooooo sweet for me.

You discovered Barney Butter! I love it too! My kids are addicted. Get this-no chance of salmonella either. This stuff is made in a peanut free facility just a few miles from where the almonds are grown in Central California. Jennifer Barney started it in her kitchen making a snack for her 4 kids. Today, Hangry Pants. Tomorrow, Oprah

[...] because the only ingredients are almonds, evaporated cane juice, palm fruit oil and sea salt. See Mark for an example of an instant Barney Butter [...]
