 RH> With 5 kids, my parents economised big time on school lunches. The
 RH> majority of the time it was (smooth) pb with cheap jelly (not jam) on
 RH> white bread. Before sandwich bags were invented, my mom would put a
 RH> cookie on top of the sandwich and wrap it in wax paper. By lunch time,
 RH> the cookie had absorbed moisture from the bread and was soggy; the
 RH> sandwich had a big stale spot in the middle from the cookie. Turned me
 RH> off from pb&j by the time I hit first grade but had to endure it until
 RH> senior year when I got to buy lunch. By the time I got to high school,
 RH> sandwich bags had come out so mom would fold in the flap, then put the
 RH> cookie on top of that. Didn't make a whole lot of difference as
 RH> usually the cookie overlapped the flap enough to soak up moisture from
 RH> the bread.

I knew that your dislike of PB came from its constant presence in your
school lunches, but I did not recall the part about the cookie.  I
presume you have gotten over your dislike for stale bread and cookies?
