OT: Peanut butter, again

And this has what to do with home repair?

Joe

If you get sick and puke on the carpet you'd need help to get the stains out. If you got serious diarrhea, you may need help to unclog the sewer line

Of course you're right, Ed. Never thought about collateral damage. EMT's carrying out the unwell would leave tracks on the tile and Pergo too.

I guess I can finish the jar I'm on, I'm not sick yet. It's probably another wild bullshit guess and wrong at that.

You'll be okay if you cook your peanut butter thoroughly.

Give some to your dog to see if it gets sick. Besides, it's fun watching the dog try to get the peanut butter off the roof of its mouth. :-D

the article said the PB -was NOT sold directly to consumers-.

Dogs can't get sick, at least not easily, from eating biological stuff. Their stomachs contain fuming Nitric acid which kills virtually everything. Same with all carnivores. Which makes it even more of a mystery as to why cats are sometimes picky eaters.

Guns dont kill......

Seriously, I love peanut butter, but these days eating it is a risk. Now, how about making it at home. After all, all it is, is crushed peanuts mixed with a little sugar, salt, and some oil.

Does anyone sell a home -peanut butter maker? It's cant be that difficult.

Use it in mousetraps to keep mice from damaging the home.

Use it to patch holes in plaster... works great till a mouse comes along.

A large glob of PB placed in the mouth of a nagging wife will shut her up for a short while, thus allowing you some peace while doing home repair.

And dont forget, eating too much PB will make you nuts. People who are nuts should never be allowed to work on your home.

Nah.... Spare the dog. Lets use willshak as the guinny pig.....

I wonder if mice can die from salmonella? It would seem a good use for the tainted stuff so you don't have to toss it all out..

It's actually off topic. Which, by reason of being Off Topic, is labelled as such. The home repair tie in, is that toilet sales and replacements may increase this week.

all you would likely do is breed tougher salmonella organisms,along with tougher mice. (BTW,mice eat garbage,so they probably can handle salmonella and other bacteria.)

On another list, several have written that dogs seldom get food poisoning. Different digestive tract features, I guess. Their history of eating dead meat in the wild has made some adaptations.

Right. You have to either steal it from a nursing home, or scrape it out of peanut butter crackers.

Umm, no sugar, no oil. Just go to your natural foods store (my local "regular" grocery store has one) and use their grinder. You just dump the salted peanuts into the grinder and you're done. You can also buy "natural" peanut butter (even in Walmart) which is just peanuts and salt. If you're putting anything else in your peanut butter you're asking for trouble plus poisoning yourself.

Good reference. Thanks.
