"Definition of" : Smooshed Peanut Butter-Jelly Sandwich (PBJ)
Anything that triggers one to think of people, places, environments when/where they were most content and filled with abundance, heart and soul.
Now, there are peanut butter sandwiches that are well, just OK.
Then PBJ sandwiches that rank based upon specific jellies. Variety is good but my mind memory is Grape.
But there is a truth lost down the ages that I'll share now with you: the distinguishing feature that makes a PBJ a true Smooshed PBJ in my opinion is the temperature of the sandwich.
For best results place sandwich in shade of tree (around 6:30 AM). Now remember you do want some heat getting to that sandwich so yes, place sandwich on west side of tree (if the sun rises from the east where you live) but make sure that the limbs and branches over-hanging are not so thick that sandwich can't find light of day.
Remember, you are not the only creature wanting that sandwich, so be sure to place in top rolled down brown paper bag (modern could be zip lock if you're into plastic) to deter ants or bigger.
If all works to plan, that sandwich you placed 6:30 will be perfect temperature and smooshedness by 9:30 AM. Worst case 10 AM. No accidental or intentional stomping on required.
If you aren't up by 6:30 to place your own sandwich...you're outta luck.
Science behind process: Bread becomes a sponge when PB and J become PBJ.
(I knew this by the time I was 2 but I think it was later also covered in one of my logic or algebra classes.)
So, my early morning hearing a bird tweet led to thought and blog post (here) Monday, October 19, 2009 9:43 AM. Title: Morning Tweeters and Orchard Talks. Search Key words: orchard //orchard talks
That then led to this blog post, What's Your Smooshed PBJ Sandwich
That leads me to circle back to the question (now nearing lunchtime): What's Your Smooshed PBJ Sandwich?
Shared with you here because I feel sorry for the "outta luck" statement above, I'll share a link. And more to the true reason, I believe in and try to live by, Lifting As We Climb.
On my walk out to the orchards (now apple...seasons change, Smooshed PBJ Sandwiches don't), I found another author. So additional link, similar logic, shared interest in serendipity included here: http://serendipitouslyrich.com/book/
