Since I'm one of the laziest people around when it comes to food preparation, I like to buy celery sticks precut (and ready for some yummy peanut butter!). Recently HEB started selling these in an "aqua pack", which seems kind of bizarre, but it really works! The celery comes in a container which is completely full of water (so it's pretty heavy), and it seems to stay fresh much longer than it did in the plastic bag container I was used to before. Weird, but cool.
Speaking of peanut butter (for the celery, remember?), I discovered that Peter Pan Whipped has 50 less calories per serving as the Peter Pan Reduced Fat (I have to buy Peter Pan because that's what Mom bought for me). Almost every brand in the store has the same amount of calories, and then suddenly this whipped kind has less, and I wonder why. My only guess is that the "whipping" puts air in the butter, so a two tablespoon serving is actually less mass because of the trapped air. Oh well, I really don't care - I'll just save the 50 calories and eat more celery!Labels: life
