Ants on a Log

Peanut butter is the most convenient calorie. It can be put on any dish to up the caloric/fat value, and applying it to almost any food makes that food better. If you live in the US, you already know this.

But my habit of liberally applying peanut butter to 35% of the food that enters my mouth has been raising eyebrows in this international house. Out of 8 people, only one had tasted peanut butter before. Consequently, my practice of smearing it across everything from peanuts to almonds to celery arouses curiosities.

So I made everyone try ants on a log, which to me is the most normal and delicious thing a person can make if all the ingredients are handy. Reactions were mixed. Rico loved it, Mette spat it promptly in the trash, Jee Hoon was lukewarm about it, Lars and Michael liked it, but they're garbage disposals anyway.
