I'll make this literary introduction of a quick recipe for the non-peanut allergy non-cooks:
Ernest Hemingway's Mt Everest Special: Spread peanut butter on toast (rye or sourdough recommended), with thinly sliced sweet onion (Vidalias are the best) placed on top (not too much, you'll know what looks right), and add a little cracked black pepper. For the seasoning inclined, experiment with adding turmeric, cayenne, or even cinnamon. Maybe some Himalayan salt.
