Hey MA, You don't have to go off peanut butter, but try to find some made in a very dry climate like Arizona or Mexico. Make sure the peanuts are grown there, not shipped there and then made into peanut butter. I know, I was such a peanut butter addict myself and I still miss it, but I've become so used to almond butter now that I don't mind as much. But, you're right, there's nothing like creamy or crunchy peanut butter. I'll let you know what I decide on the new TX. I'm going to cancel the upcoming one and wait another 2 weeks to really come to a decision (been praying alot and just enjoying life off of chemo). Another gorgeous day today and we just got back from the food bank, where we dropped off 20 bags of groceries. What a great life. Love and hugs, Vickie
