Extra Extra Protein
So I love peanut butter. It’s up there with chocolate on my list of favorite foods. Plus, it’s extra healthy for vegetarians because it’s so full of protein. I eat it with apples, bananas, on sandwiches, and even by itself. Tonight, I was having it with an apple–good stuff. So I’m cutting pieces off the apple, spreading some peanut butter on it, and just generally enjoying it. I glance to the side at the lid to the container and notice something moving…..
Things moving where there are not supposed to be things moving is never good. This was no different–there were ants crawling around on the lid. I, with eyes full of dread, turned to look into the jar of peanut butter that my spoon was sticking out of, and my fears were realized….there were ants in my peanut butter. I froze in disgust. Then I screamed.
It took a few screams, a temper tantrum full of juvenile jumping up and down, and the vicious murder of a few ants to calm me down. My peanut butter, of all things! Apparently, I will have to move all of my food to a very secluded area because it is not safe on top of my refridgerator.

I cannot stand ants. I am currently experiencing something very similar in my apartment… the attack of the monster ants… jokes aside, these ants are HUGE! they keep on coming through my apartment window into my bedroom (even when it’s tightly shut!). At least on campus you can have residence life do something about those dreadful creatures… I am to fend for myself. I have horrid nightmares about waking up covered in ants, gigantic red ones… the size of spiders (they seriously are!).
Ironically, Laura Vann taught me how to make a healthy peanut butter snack (perfect for college kids) called ‘Ants on a log’. You take a celery stick, spread some peanut butter on (quite a heap), and then take two raisons (the ants) and place them on the peanut butter. Voila! Ants on a log! Yum! (just ensure they actually are raisons, in your case you may have ended up with actual ants!)
