Actually, I wouldn't, but I would be much too distressed to take a photo. And put it on the interweb! And it's funny, because the gal with whom I went to high school actually got in contact with me as a result of your post. Lovely! I hope she didn't tell you what a massive dork/know-it-all/general weirdo I was in high school, though. I'm saving all that for a future book about an anal retentive band nerd. Seriously, dude. Try my recipe for peanut butter rice soup. You will not be disappointed. Unless you are ...

I actually just received an email from a reader who went to high school with you, with the subject: "My YA colleague interviewed your YA colleague." I thought that was pretty amazing, although not as amazing as if she and her YA colleague (viz., you) had also been <i>delivered by the same obstetrician</i>. Speaking of babies, the peanut butter baby is result #3 when you <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=peanut-butter&gbv=2" rel="nofollow">search Google Images for "peanut butter"</a>. Perhaps if the peanut butter had been served to the baby in the form of a delicious soup, the baby would have eaten it, instead of using it for taking a bath? An interesting experiment we could all conduct when and if we have kids of our own (or gain access to the children of others)... Dear Sabrina,

I just stumbled upon this entry when obsessively checking my blog stats. FYI, my mom invented peanut butter rice soup for me when I was, I don't know, four years old? I was a very picky eater, but the bliss of peanut butter rice soup has never once failed me. I did indeed make it when I was a poor college kid, but mostly because there are few recipes one can make in an illegal dorm room rice cooker. And also, sometimes I'd get a cold and need some crazy half-Korean chicken soup. Nowadays, it's just comfort food. Hopefully when (and if) I have kids of my own, they too will enjoy its wacky wonders. ... but that peanut butter baby is kinda gross. Hey!
