Hey John! Thanks for visiting my scrounge site. It seems like almost every day is a “____” Day. No matter, I love it!
Your blog is interesting and fantastic! So many facts about food…all in one place! And January 24th is officially one of my favorite days since peanut butter is one of my very favorite foods.
Thank you for stopping by and for liking my cake post! I love the look, the name, and the whole idea of your blog. I enjoyed looking at some of the quotations and hope to spend more time reading them and exploring the rest of your blog.
Hurray for beer! Interesting content. Very entertaining for a fellow foodie.
i kike all the little history facts…..
Thanks for stopping by on my post, :D I’m loving your blog. It’s my kind of days to celebrate..
thanks for following and introducing me to your fantastic blog!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the background to yours. Shelves are much easier to keep tidy than cupboards! I am female and much prefer crunchy to plain peanut butter.
Thanks, great blog. That background is actually my pantry. I use it for the background of my twitter account too. http://www.twitter.com/foodimentary
John – Thank you for the like, and so glad that you pointed me to your blog…love food – its a secret hobby. Looking forward to more.
I love this blog – such a great, and interesting, idea!
Wow! I used to have trivia days and food fun facts with the cooks in the kitchen where I work until they got tired of my endless trivia. With the discovery of your blog I might just have to go back to it! You are just giving me so much fodder!
Thank you – great blog. I am signing up
Hi John:
Thanks for the ‘like’. Glad I found your site too!
In our house it’s the exact opposite. The girls in the family love crunchy peanut butter and the boys like creamy. I always have both kinds on hand ;-)
Thanks for stopping by my blog so I could find yours. Very interesting and I’ll be sure to check it out regularly.
Thanks for dropping past my blog! I like your blog, great idea! I’d have to disagree with you on the peanut butter thing though, I much prefer crunchy and in Australia crunchy has way more shelf space devoted to it in the supermarket! I’d get pretty annoyed if I accidentally bought smooth! :)
I like it creamy and sweet….hmmm, peanut butter never sounded so wrong before :).
Sad I missed pie day yesterday.
I like crunchy better and I’m a girl so I guess that means i am super special :D lol nice blog I like it!
Am currently celebrating beer can appreciation day.
I like it! Cheers.
No way! I can’t believe that my fellow women-folk don’t love the crunch. When it’s crunchy, every bite is a little bit different. That’s what makes me unable to quit eating it straight out of the jar.
Amen Girl! lol
Happy peanut butter day John, thanks so much for visiting my site. :-) You speak the truth, women love creamy peanut butter and men like it chunky. Glad i found your site!

I’ve always been more of a crunchy peanut butter kind of gal. But I also prefer pulp in my juice and lumps in my mashed potatoes… Love your blog and the fun food facts!
Thanks so much! Me too!
