DIY Peanut butter

Another idea that *might* be a plastic-reduction exercise or might just be a fun try-making-it-for-yourself project — DIY peanut butter.

Super easy: I just get a bag of salted, roasted peanuts (sold as snack food in supermarkets), throw it in the food processor and drizzle in some vegetable oil as it runs. Once it's reached the texture you like, it's done.

I could go really hard-core and try and source peanuts that aren't packaged in plastic, but I figure a flimsy little plastic bag is still way less plastic than a whole jar + lid.

A $3.89 400g value pack of roasted peanuts makes a 400g jar of peanut butter - that's about the same price as the cheap made-in-China stuff.
