Reporter's notebook: Peanut butter to be celebrated

Crunchy or smooth? That will be the question on Wednesday.

That’s when we celebrate National Peanut Butter Day, according to Nationaltoday.com, a website dedicated to commemorating holidays.

While the day is one of several food-related holidays next week — including National Popcorn Day and National Pie Day — it may be the most relatable for Portales residents.

Peanuts are a major industry in Portales, with Ready Roast Nut, Portales Select Peanut Company, and Hampton Farms producing what will eventually find its way onto sandwiches across the nation.

With such an abundance of peanut butter in Portales, all that’s missing is bread, jelly and a tall glass of milk.
