Greetings,

The Association met yesterday to debrief the Committee on all decisions made in the last 48 hours by the Commission, the Task-Force, and the subcommittee.  The Association is pleased to announce a new draft for their seminal work on PBTE.

The Association has exhaustively researched the ramifications of a well designed PBTE system, as opposed to a poorly-designed PBTE system.  Of course, the Association understands that your time is valuable, and that any unnecessarily complex descriptions of said system will be for naught, so I have been asked by the Committee, the Commission, the Task-Force, the subcommittee, and of course the Association, to give you all the following brief description of the newly constituted standards for PBTE:

PBTE (or, Peanut Butter, Tomato, and Egg Salad)

Peanut Butter: The first layer on the sandwich should be nothing less than 99% organic Peanut Butter with no artificial preservatives or additives whatsoever.  Any sugar included should be in the raw and kept to a minimum.  (You have the option of adding maple syrup to sweeten it, but that is up to you.  If you do, that also should be organic, pure Maple Syrup from  the Northwestern part of Vermont.)

Tomato:  This, as we all know, is THE most crucial ingredient of the sandwich.  Tomatoes contain lycopene, which is what makes it nature's miracle fruit.  (Yes, the tomato is a fruit.  Duh.)  This sandwich should only be made while tomatoes are in season, which is part of what makes the sandwich so darn tasty.  They should be locally grown, and of course, organic.

Egg Salad:  Organic, free range chickens, and they should be the farm-fresh brown eggs, just because.  And, there should be a minimum of 4 eggs per sandwich.  (On this we just cannot be flexible.  Sorry, we don't make the rules we just...well, actually, we DO make the rules.  Never mind.)

Oh, and the C/C/T-F/s/A will also allow one variation on PBTE, the PBBTE, which includes the addition of bacon, which, as we all know, only serves to improve everything it is near.  It's kinda magical, like Bippity-bobbity-BACON, something that the fairy godmothers in Cinderella would say, you know?

Oh, and today will be:  as good and fullfilling as bacon sandwich.
