It’s Carver Day at the Missouri Botanical Garden today. Sounds like fun. We’ve blogged about George Washington Carver and his pioneering interest in, and work with, agrobiodiversity before. He was a Missouri native, which I think is his only connection to MoBo, but that’s ok, any excuse is good to celebrate such a man. If you go, let us know.
I was playing Cranium on Friday, and a question came up about George Washington Carver, namely, what crop he was trying to find new uses for. I wanted to say cotton, but my teammate suddenly and unexpectedly spouted off a bunch of stuff about peanuts, and we agreed to go with that. Victorious! Celebrate Carver with some peanut butter!
I’m allergic to peanut butter. I prefer sunflower butter.
But I sometimes buy peanut butter cups for Halloween–so I don’t eat them before the kids come by :)
I have not tried sunflower butter, interesting. Almond butter gets high marks from me. :)
I bet you might be excited about the prospect of a hypoallergenic peanut…
