Bewitched

I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter, but it does have its uses. It’s great for separating chewing gum from hair and for removing adhesives. It’s far better mouse trap bait than cheese. It can disguise the pill your dog doesn’t want to take (be sure it has no artificial sweetener). In a pinch, it substitutes for butter or WD-40. It can remove windshield bugs. It’s great in mole and satay sauce, and in this kid-friendly recipe:

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 box yellow cake mix

1/3 cup water

1 1/3 cups peanut butter

1/3 cup butter, softened

1 egg

2 tablespoons sugar

Heat oven to 375F. In large bowl, beat half of the cake mix, the water, peanut butter, butter and eggs until smooth. Stir in remaining cake mix. On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in sugar. Bake about 10 minutes.
