Peanut Butter & Co. Once a small café in New York City's Greenwich Village, Peanut Butter & Co., made its patrons fall in love with peanut butter all over again.

They offer everything from the normal smooth and crunchy peanut butters to exotic mixes like Dark Chocolate Dreams. Check out all the great flavors at www.ilovepeanutbutter.com.
Surprising Friends We all know that summers in Columbia are hot, slightly boring and can be more than lonely. You can't help but miss your best friends from school or home and wish that they were here to join you in the unbearable heat. A quick fix for the doldrums? Plan a surprise visit to see a friend at home! This could be inexpensive if your friend lives a few counties over or pricey if they are out of the country. Trust me, the look on your best friends' faces when you show up in Boston for a graduation party is worth every penny. However, the warm feeling you get when your friends hug you is utterly and inexplicably priceless.
