Yes, oatmeal for dinner. Time was short after bringing home a foster dog from the shelter. It’s the one that looks like it’s still adjusting.

    Refrigerated peanut butter is a waste of resources and makes peanut butter harder to use.

    A lot of jellies, jams and preserves don’t need refrigeration if you use a clean knife, don’t get any bread crumbs in there and are probably going to empty that jar within two weeks.

      Just speculation on my part, but I was leaving in the possibilery that some American-style heavily-modified PB could be at risk at room temp. For example, loaded with HF corn sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc.

      I loved my college Nutrition class way back when, but I don’t remember it covering stuff like this.

          Common bacteria (etc) love various refined sugars in the presence of free water, but yeah, based on a couple quick searches just now, it doesn’t seem like there’s enough moisture for them in even American-style PB and salad dressings, etc. IIRC acidity also plays a role. (note: I’m talking as someone whose fridge has been on the fritz for a while!)

          Just got back from the store. Will follow up on those messages in a bit.
