Fluffernutter!

Need I say more? Okay, I will.

Today I had a fluffernutter for lunch. This would be excellent news in and of itself, but this one tasted particularly delicious for a couple reasons. First, it was the first fluffernutter I’ve had in at least two years. Second, and far more important, this one was sort of a surprise gift. Aaron, our Youth Ministries Specialist, has a lunch packed for him everyday by his loving wife Wanessa. Well, it turns out she was feeling a little bad for me because I don’t have a Mom (well I do but not here) or a girlfriend to make me a lunch. So today she sent him with an extra sandwich for me, which kind of made my day. So thanks Wanessa.

While we’re on the topic of fluff, here are a couple of handy baking tips:

* Did you know that a jar of fluff comes with a tasty recipe for fudge written on the side? – It’s true; my brother and I once bought a jar and used it to make a batch for a care package for our sister.

* Did you know that marshmallow fluff will expand significantly when heated, so you wouldn’t want to use a pot just big enough for the ingredients when making this fudge? – We didn’t.

What you need to do (and I am the resident fluff expert -- though I haven't had any since I've been married, however I did have it for like every other dinner in college) is fry it with some Peanut Butter.

Butter the outsides of a peanut butter and fluff sandwhich. Then put it in a frying pan and brown the edges. You want to talk about good -- do this once, have plenty of napkins and milk -- you will never forget it!
