When you work at a preschool or around children of that age, you begin to adopt lots of their habits. For example, you whine (if not out loud then at least to yourself) a lot more than normal adults. You also discover an itch to throw something when you don’t get your way. The need for naps becomes blatantly apparent and you begin to realize that sometimes the best lunches are those that are most simple and sweet.
And many of you tease the fact that on most days my preferred lunch of choice consists of peanut butter and jelly with an apple and some other goodie, but seriously. It’s delicious.
Today, in my midst of being an adult and coupon cutting, no coupon or advertisement excited me more than the one I found for Uncrustables. So simple! So delicious! AND! They now have GRILLED CHEESE VARIETY! And Peanut Butter and Honey! On Wheat?! Oh, man. Guys, seriously. Don’t knock ‘em til you’ve tried ‘em and I’ve got such a suspicion that you’ve never even thought of trying them.
EDIT: Next time I’m Krogering, which may be tonight, I am going to buy one of the new varieties and give you a FULL REPORT on how AMAZING it really is.

I think Bob might have had a short love affair with these!
And GRILLED CHEESE?!
That’s only, like, one of my favorites.
Somebody’s about to make a trip to the Kroger.
As long as Phil isn’t there …

Purchasing these with a coupon seems the perfect way to behave as an adult and maintain your sense of youthful wonder. Excellent work!
So do you heat up the grilled cheese ones? In the microwave? On the skillet?
These could be the perfect additions to my diaper bag. Looking forward to the full report!

I’m going to create a food line called Combustibles.
And they are going to be DANGEROUS.
But.
Delicious.

Chels, you know I love you, but ICK! The very idea of these things is really disgusting to me for some reason - with the icky-ness of the PBJ now trumped by the new grilled cheese version. Can’t wait to hear about your test of them, though, maybe you can convince me to give them a go.

Oh, Tracy. Just wait until you try one of my Combustibles.

Update: These have still gone unsampled. Apologies. And I’m working on it. Gimme to the end of next week.

However…
The other night my friend Matt was eating this on his lunch break. He informed me that the grilled cheese was no good, but honey and peanut butter wasn’t bad. He also claimed that he made a better peanut butter and honey sandwich. I have not tested this theory nor will I take sides until I’m presented with hard evidence in the form of a blind taste test. So long as Matt’s is cut into a circle.
