Blend and Super Blend

I was asked not to write about this so as not to "give away"  the secret recipe, but it is one of those sweet childhood things I know that I will forget about sooner rather than later if I do not write it down.  

Several months ago when Charlotte was a very new baby,  Solomon was helping out by making very many peanut butter and jelly lunches.  One day a disagreement erupted between Nova and Solomon about her sandwich.  She wanted jelly first, then peanut butter, and he had  made it the other way round.  I was about to come down and break up the impending fight when they came up with the most childishly ingenious solution--flip it over!  From then on this type of sandwich has been known as the Super Blend.  Regular (unflipped) sandwiches are known as Blend.  For weeks, the question at lunchtime was "Blend or Super Blend?"  There was even much talk about a restaurant--which is why I was under strict instructions not to share the "secret" recipe.  

So, please enjoy your Blend and Super Blend, but don't tell anyone else!
