Cool, I'll have to experiment with that. It seems every peanut butter I've tried is a little different in consistency. I typically scoop out my portion to eat with a sliced apple and don't actually spread it on anything. Keeping it dry reminds me of the filling used for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

(And, by the way Sirenity, you're doing GREAT!!)

Thanks!
I've been trying different kinds and have settled on one that only lists peanuts as the sole ingredient. I've also liked one called Naturally More that had flax oil and seeds added to it. I'll have to check out what they have at Trader Joe's.

Ah, I see! That's exactly what I've been wondering about, thanks.
