Peanut Butter Cup

I think Jack wants me fat. In fact I am sure of that. I always ask for one scoop. Waistlines expand with that gloop. He insists on giving three. All for the same fee. Poor, poor pitiful me. I can't resist you see. Peanut Butter Cup counter. The place where I always flounder.

It is for me James. I go when I want to switch off. Sometimes, at an afternoon show, I have the cinema to myself......like Michael Jackson.

Jean, I just had to see THIS one because I adore peanut butter in ice cream. But in chocolate it's BETTER!! BIG chunks of it in smooth chocolate ice cream!! Tasty poem

Hi Andrea. Like you I love movies and go to the cinema a lot. I was thinking of Snatched until I read a comment on your cinema review post recently.That leaves Arthur. Should I venture I wonder? My extra large tub is calling to me.

My Daddy used to say "You are only young twice." It must be that child in me that can "resist everything except temptation."

I can relate to your cute poem Jean. I adore peanut butter flavor. I am semi vegetarian and peanut butter is a great protein for me. I am sure I would love the ice cream. 7 ; )

Jack is the DJ who spun the discs at Rena's 21th Tim. He works at the local cinema. I was a classmate of his mum.
