Some guy over at Geeks had Flax seed pancakes this morning. Sort of cool, I did too. Double omen.

In weather like we're having now in San Francisco, the well-dressed fop ought to be wearing a linen suit. But I in my simple way have gotten no farther than my usual cotton shirt and pants.

 

Looking at this from a foodie perspective, I could be eating sprouted flax seed bread. Maybe I'll buy a loaf nearer to the time of the Pen Faire.

With peanut butter?

 

Note there should be only one (or two) ingredients: Peanuts (and Salt). Anything else is obscene and lsmith will get involved.

I don't believe I've ever eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of peanut butter sandwiches I have eaten. Those include maybe two with the kind of super-chunky peanut butter available at the present time but undreamed-of when I was a kid. I grew up in the America of Campbell's soup, tasteless lager beer, thin pale-yellow mustard, and creamy, blenderized peanut butter. Yuk. Loren may have been more fortunate.

 

Still, I concede that sprouted-flaxseed bread and hyper-chunky peanut butter go together, at least conceptually. It's just that if I get started on chunkiness. I find individual peanuts even chunkier than, pardon my language, artisan peanut butter.

am I the only one for whom that link doesn't work?

That link doesn't work for me, either, although it is what the address bar says when one is looking at the appropriate Web page. Mysteries of the Internet. So let me apologize, and offer my readers the paragraph I was trying to point to:

 

The FLAX semi-annual San Francisco Pen Faire and Sale returns Saturday, November 1, from 11am – 3pm. Representatives from select pen manufacturers will be on-hand with their product line, and all will be offered at 20% off MSRP. This one-of-a-kind event is the best way to sample a variety of pens and find the one that is just right for you, and at a special price. Treat yourself and others to a great gift.

The link in the first post gives a bunch of nonsense characters at the end.

I purchased my first Pelikan there in the early to mid 80's. Dang, I might have to go back and get another one.
