  • Psssssst.

    Yoke is something you attach to your oxen to pull your cart.

    Yolk is the gooey yellow-orange orb of deliciousness in your egg.


    Mine is always over-easy because the oxen just won't hold still long enough . geeze.

    Touchy touchy subject! I agree with it being a source of good fat if you need it that happens to have protein.

    Beans and legumes aren't that incredible of a source of protein per calorie either! *runs away from thread*

    I love PB and want to thank the OP for the info :) I will no longer think of PB as a "protein" source but as a very tasty treat.
    However, I do have to say I am shocked that there are still people that do not brush their teeth before bed!!! Not brushing before bed can lead to cavities and gingivitis. I do not want to start another debate as the whole PB for protein was enough but PLEASE BRUSH BEFORE BED!! Thanks:)

    We would, but toothpaste is not a good source of protein.

    my brother ate about three things as a weird kid growing up. Mainstay was peanut butter sandwiches, so it wasn't until I was about 30 that I liked it... Still don't think it was a particularly healthy diet staple...

    oh yeah,

    peanut butter sandwiches
    chocolate ice cream
    peperoni pizza.


    all brand specific.

    I love peanut butter. And while it doesn't have as much protein as some other foods, those other foods don't pair well with jelly, banana, celery (if you must) and there are others. Maybe if it is clarified that peanut butter is the condiment with the highest protein level if you can consider it a condiment. But even as much as I like peanut butter it's just peanut butter and I have yet to hear of anyone dying of too much peanut butter.
