Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

PB and J

For Valentine's Day I taught my 5th graders how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I used a heart shaped cookie cutter to give it a more festive feeling...but overall it was the standard PB and J...which strangely, the kids had never tried before. They thought it was the bees knees...but the reason, I am writing about this now...is the absurd fact that the Japanese cannot pronounce Peanut...so whenever I heard them talking about it they always called it a "penis butter and Jerry" sandwich. Believe me I tried to correct them...but to no avail...so forevermore in my mind, at least...PB and J will refer to a penis butter and jerry sandwich....yummy!!!
