How do YOU make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

I spread the peanut butter first, and thick. It's got to be creamy peanut butter too. If I wanted a nut sandwich, I would have made a nut sandwich. The peanutbutter should be thick enought that you can make a small bowl in the middle, wall up the sides of the bread some- this will be important later, for the structural integrity of the sandwich. The crusts will be important too, people who get the crusts cut off their sandwich don't know anything about the form or function of a sandwich, and probably eat them with forks. Then on the other slice of bread I put one glop of jelly. You can't measure that way with jam or preserve, because the fruit destroys the glop, so if you lean that way you're on your own. But if you're using jelly, then a glop will do, dropped right in the center, and then spread as evenly as possible towards the crust. Don't worry if the middle is a little thicker, because you made a peanutbutter bowl on the other slice. Then the jelly side is flipped onto it's peanutbutter partner, and voila. Culinary genius.
