Indecision Results in Weird Combination

It has been a while since I have posted something with substance so I thought I’d reach down into my memory to come up with something. Well, actually, this memory came back to me last night while I was thinking of something to feed my son and it gave me a chuckle so I thought I’d share it with you all. Oh yeah, it really doesn’t have much substance either but it is better than a list of quotes.

After several rounds of opening the fridge and cupboards I could find nothing to feed my son. After checking out some mindless show on tv, I finally decided to feed him some cheese. But cheese is not a stand alone meal so what could I give him to go with the cheese? There is a loaf of bread on the counter…and some peanut butter in the cupboard. Peanut butter does not really go well with cheese though does it?

…One night, back in my first year of university, I woke up in the middle of the night and had a craving for cheese, cheddar cheese. But while I tossed and turned in bed trying to convince myself I didn’t want cheese, I started craving peanut butter as well. I finally decided I should fill my cravings but I couldn’t settle on which craving to settle because surely I couldn’t have both. Or could I?

In my childhood, I concocted numerous original drinks by mixing whatever liquids were in the fridge together (i.e. orange juice and milk) so why not take that to another level. Instead of staying up pondering this rather insignificant dilemma, I decided to make a peanut butter and cheese sandwich. Let’s just say it was an interesting combination. Although it was far from awful, I have not combined those two ingredients since that first time.

So... what'd Alan end up having for dinner?

I started him with the cheese then gave him the peanut butter sandwich. He ate it so I guess it was good enough.
