How do you make a PB&J?
Also, peanut butter and honey. This avoids your conundrum.

Honey is awesome, and local honey is great for allergies!

One time, when I was living alone, I hated to wash dishes so eventually all of them got dirty. No knifes, no spoons and I wanted a jelly sandwich. What to do? Of course I said fuck it and used my index finger to grab jelly and put it on the bread. Yeah...not my proudest moments.

We don't have PB&J sandwiches over here, but I use the same knife when I put cream cheese and peach jam on my toast.

I use the same knife, but clean it off in between.

i use the same knife to put peanut butter and jelly on the bread and then use it to cut the banana and put that on the sandwhich too

Heh, next time lick the knife clean after putting the peanut butter on. Then use it to spread the jelly. She'll never know the difference.

Using two utensils is the "polite way." That is to say, it is the way of people who are fussy and overly concerned about appearances. Cross-contamination is the "lazy way." That is to say, it is the way of people who are unconcerned about how their actions affect others. The main point is to avoid cross-contamination as both the peanut-butter jar and the jelly jar are source containers which will be used repeatedly by whomever needs them. If you're going to use the same utensil (which is fine), you want to clean it before you switch containers. That takes about two seconds if you have a sink and water.

One of the benefits of living alone is that it's your place and you don't have to worry about affecting non-existent house-mates. )

The reason to use a spoon for the jelly is to avoid the watery mess that forms in the jelly jar after repeated uses of a knife. The world is full of savages. :D

Them savages like to see the jelly bleed. D
On a more serious note, there's nothing in the jelly jar that wasn't there before if the utensil you use is clean.

+1, I care enough about cross contamination to clean off the knife on the slice of bread but not enough to get a new knife or to actually wash the knife :p

Actually I found this to be probably the best way without cross contaminating each jar. 1) take knife to PB jar and spread 2) take jelly jar and kinda shake at a 75 degree angle to get enough out and then spread. Only used 1 knife and no jelly in PB jar and no PB in the jelly jar!

PB&J alone is so boring. PB goes well with chocolate (like Reese's products), banana and bacon (Elvis Presley's fav), or marshmallow (fluffernutter). What you should do is slice a jelly donut in half and add some peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, chocolate sauce, banana and bacon inside. If you don't do bacon, feel free to replace it with an unhealthy kosher/halal/vegan-friendly alternative. Also, use the same knife on everything!

PB&J is serious business. Just ask any NBA player.

I made myself a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch today. A little while later, my sister decided she wanted one as well. As she was making her sandwich, she yelled out "Why is there peanut butter in the jelly?!" The answer is that I use the same knife for both containers -- once I'm done spreading the peanut butter, I use the same knife to scoop and spread the jelly. Of course a small amount of peanut butter gets into the jelly container.
According to her, this is a crime against humanity. She says that one must use a spoon to get the jelly out of its jar, to avoid the hideous possibility of cross-contamination.
So now I am curious: how do you make a PB&J?
