Folks pls tell me it's not JIF... I just threw out a 16 oz jar of creamy...

The J. M. Smucker Co. Issues Voluntary Recall of Select Jif® Products Sold in the U.S. for Potential Salmonella Contamination

This recall has been completed and FDA has terminated this recall.

www.fda.gov

We don't have any in the house. I do have a jar of Peter Pan in the cupboard but used Albertson's store brand for the cookies because that was the one that was open. These recalls are a bit scary, but hopefully that sold in Boe's area isn't part of it.

Well I had just finished reading and checking this info and came straight here to read and my cyber phriends are baking cookies... Peanut Butter type ...
Went back and finished reading the thread after posting and seen you were using store brand... I think this is the first time in my life I have ever had to throw something away because of a recall...

Life just keeps getting stranger and stranger...

Ha ! I am writing a book about my experiences. its called;' Schizophrenia and then some'. I started it some months ago, but ran out of steam thinking I didn't have any more to say, and I only had about forty five pages. But I find I still have a lot to say, and have written three new chapters this week.

We didn't get serious wind at our house but it is blowing and the temperature really dropped. Hopefully we won't get the 8-12" of snow Colorado got though. Just supposed to be in the mid 70's tomorrow. We can't turn our heat on once the swamp cooler is up and running.

I have the HVAC guys turn on and off the swamp, I turn on and off my heaters. This time they had to replace the pads and motor in the swamp, wasn't expecting that........

 

[Ringel05]

There's only one brand of peanut butter I get and that's Smuckers Natural, no sugar. Unfortunately it's part of the recall I was unaware of, need to check the lot number.

Smuckers makes Jif but I don't see that anything but the Jif label has been recalled.

How interesting. I hope you can let us know the title when it is published.

Well I would hope we all would alert folks about possible dangers out there so I much appreciated your post. We do often buy Jif. Just didn't happen to have any on hand at this time.

Even the Smuckers but I checked the lot number and mine's not included.

We have them do both, check for carbon monoxide and all that. So for part of the year we are without heat sometimes for brief periods when it would be appreciated and sometimes without a/c for a day or two when we probably would use it. But all in all, it works out for us.

I have a carbon monoxide detector as well as the usual smoke detectors and the good thing is they are all hardwired, no batteries to worry about.

And guess what kind of peanut butter I bought just before I went to the hospital. I normally buy Kraft but just to be different . . . The recall only applies to the USA. Should I trust that? Nobody's gotten sick, so far.

It's the Victoria Day long weekend in Canada. Mostly Canadians refer to it as the May 2-4 weekend, pronounced "May two four weekend". A "two four" (2-4) in Canada is a case of beer - 24 bottles. Proper useage. Can you stop at the Beer Store on the way and pick up a 2-4 of Molson Canadian?

My birthday usually falls of this holiday weekend which around our house has always been Marguerita Weekend since we're not beer drinkers. No Margueritas this weekend. Not until I finish my blood thinners. But there was raspberry chocolate truffle cheesecake, and lots of love from my daughter and grandchildren, and family and friends.

After the kids left in the late afternoon, I checked my Facebook and Messengers apps and learned there were multiple dangerous windstorms all around us with power outages, and 70 MPH winds, people being killed by falling trees, and people living across Southern Ontario were all posting they were fine and safe. We had "severe thunderstorm warnings" all afternoon, but had no wind or thunderstorms.

Never had the dimensions of the house measured unfortunately. The windows were constructed with secondary storm windows which are crank operated. Cranks are all busted and are the originals that came with it in 1959.

I have never had my apartment measured but I did buy an area rug for my 15' X 10' living room (250 square feet), and measure my bedroom (10' X 12' = 120 square feet) to see if my furniture would fit. I measured my sewing room (10' X 10' = 100 square feet) to see which room should be my bedroom.

You should be able to do a quick guestimate of how much square footage you need cooled. When I had one unit, I kept all of the room doors closed, cooling only the living room and kitchen in the day, and opening up my bedroom door only after dark, to cool the room down before bedtime. Now that I have two units, I can cool the whole apartment and keep it at 74 degrees in summer. All it takes is money for the electric bill.

My CO detector is hard wired, but it also has a battery back up for power outages. I make sure it's always plugged in and change the batteries every 6 months, like the smoke detectors, and after every extended power outage.

The CO detector has save my life twice, when I had gas leaks in my apartment IN THE NIGHT when I was sleeping. No joke.

Hi, yea, its some way from being ready to submit to publishers. In fact I am presently having problems with it. I find I have repeated myself a number of times over different chapters, and now I am having a struggle editing it. I am somewhat confused. But I suppose I will work it out eventually.
Writing it comes easy but editing is a struggle. If it is ever a book I aim to call it.

Schizophrenia and then some.

So do we but I like the battery backup in case of power failures or earthquakes and such. Did you know the Albuquerque south valley sits on a major magma body that could let go at any time? I did an inspection on an egg processing facility there and the insurance company wanted to know about any earthquake hazard. I finally found a knowledgeable geologist/volcano and earthquake specialist in Socorro who advised me that there is a huge magma body, second largest in the continental world actually, extending from south of Socorro into Albuquerque's south valley. It is slowly expanding upward very slowly changing the contour of the surface I read and there is a possibility it could erupt into a super volcano and/or trigger earthquakes magnitude 8+. It is one of the most completely seismically monitored areas in the world though and it is highly unlikely to cause us any problems in our lifetime or many generations to come.

Not surprising as we live in the Rio Grande Rift (valley). Unlike oceanic rifts which are at the plate boundaries continental rifts are the thinning of the earth's crust, these continental rifts form in “extensional tectonic” settings in which Earth’s lithosphere thins and weakens due to the rising of hot rock deep below the surface.

Southern Ontario is cut in half by the Niagara Escarpment, which is a fault line which extends from the tip of the Bruce Peninsula (the Blue Mountains) across the 401 near Cambridge to Hamilton where it's called "Hamilton Mountain", and then straight across from Hamilton to Niagara Falls into the USA through Buffalo. It's an old fault line, but not completely dead. We've had earthquakes in the area of up to 5.2 on the Richter Scale, but no major damage. Every few years we get a window rattler, but nobody is worried about "living on the fault line".

For my birthday, I got my first full night of pain free sleep since before the surgery. I barely slept at all in hospital. Getting up to use the toilet would rile up the leg and it would take time to calm down and for me to get back to sleep. I was happy to go home early and back to my own bed, but even there I still had to sleep on my back, and woke up to take a Tylenol and go back to sleep. Friday night, I took a Tylenol around 10, and went to bed exhausted at 11:00 and woke up at 7:00 ON MY SIDE, with no pain.

I have a cat nurse. She has been by my side constantly since I came home. Checks my incision every morning. I've woken up in the night and she's looming over me. My first couple of days home, I was given several "kitty baths", with my arms and hands being thoroughly washed. Her devotion is both touching annoying.

One of my support network has been sick for nearly 2 weeks. This man has shown me such kindness and friendship and it's killing me that I am in no position to reciprocate when he needs something now. He does work for a number of single older women, who his mother refers to as his "girlfriends". Yesterday I texted my next door neighbour to ask if she could check on him, but she was way ahead of me. She'd just come back from his place and said he was Ok.

He was supposed to be doing gardening prep work for a couple of his girlfriends last week, this being the big planting weekend in my part of Ontario, and he hasn't been able to do any of it.

I prefer smooth. What brand of PB did you use? I think Jif is the best for cookies.

Jif is ongoing a recall for salmonella.
