![]() Its mainstream popularity was also due to industrialization, as companies figured out how to extend the shelf-life of bread, peanut butter, and jelly. The first published mention of the sandwich was a 1901 article in Boston Cooking School Magazine, which suggested “spreading ‘peanut paste’ and ‘currant or crab-apple jelly’ on finger sandwiches.” But by the 1910s, the sandwich was being heralded as the solution to the “problem of the schoolboy’s lunch,” since it was also enjoyed by children. It began as a fancy tearoom treat for the upper class. Though it became a food for all, the sandwich has a surprisingly elite origin. ll classes of Americans munched on PB&Js.”īy the 1910s, the sandwich was being heralded as the solution to the “problem of the schoolboy’s lunch.” Lastly, it bridged economic gaps as “a staple of the working class and much of the country during times of economic hardship…. It also connected generations-both adults and kids enjoyed it. Because you could take it anywhere, it was a bridge between public and private life: “The sandwich symbolized ‘home,’ but it was just as often eaten outside of the house” on picnics, camping trips, and school cafeterias. This was due to a few factors, Estes argues. The PB&J was at its peak in the second half of the twentieth century. By the twenty-first century, historian Steve Estes writes, “the PB&J had gone from a symbol of doting mothers and idyllic childhood to a marker of negligent parenting and unhealthy kids.” What took the sandwich from iconic to outdated? But sometimes a great rise can also mean a great fall. Its website currently lists peanut butter and grape jelly, strawberry jam, honey and several reduced-sugar “spreads” as options, along with “chocolate flavored hazelnut spread.” One might call that Nutella, but that, of course, is trademarked.There was a time when peanut butter and jelly, spread generously on two simple slices of bread, was a quintessential American meal. Smuckers continues to make Uncrustables sans patent. ![]() The sandwich wars continue, however–in a recent volley, a Los Angeles food “disruptor” had tried to disrupt the Uncrustables model with gourmet sandwiches made along the same lines. Things dragged along for a while–from 2001 to 2005, when a federal appeals court decided that 6,004,596 “was not novel or non-obvious enough to merit the award of a patent,” writes Alex Swerdloff for Munchies. That seal gave the Uncrustable a competitive advantage over other sandwiches, including other sealed-edge sandwiches that used starch for sealing, the company argued. (Technically, the original inventors of the crustless sandwich were another, smaller company that Smuckers quickly bought.) Among the most important, she writes, Smuckers claimed that the Uncrustables sandwich was different from a normal crustless PB&J, beloved by picky kids everywhere, because the crimping process the company used to seal the bread edges was new. There were a lot of questions involved in deciding whether or not Smuckers could patent its sandwich. “Patents are both technical and legal documents, and their interpretation is subject to many laws and legal decisions that challenge even experienced patoent attorneys,” she wrote. Media at the time mocked Smuckers for its silly-seeming patent, but Shin questioned whether the patent is really as absurd as people made out. Challenger Albie’s Foods responded by filing a lawsuit that stated the patent wasn’t valid. Not long after that, another, much smaller company began producing a similar product, an Smuckers sent them a cease and desist letter. “The frozen sandwich can be placed in a lunchbox in the morning so that by lunchtime, the thawed sandwich is ready to eat,” Shin writes. Shin for Gastronomica in 2002, Smuckers started producing Uncrustables–frozen, sealed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with no crust. The central question: Can you really patent something that’s been made for generations?Ī few months after gaining the patent, wrote Anne M. Since that time, it’s gained some infamy in the world of patent law. Patent Number 6,004,596, “Sealed crustless sandwich,” was first issued on December 21, 1999. attempted to patent a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

With their 4th collaboration, HMS Pinafore, the writers began to tackle larger scale problems, particularly musical unity and pacing, and they began to find their stride in one of the most difficult areas of writing for the lyric stage the finale. The Sorcerer had established the familiar patter baritone, a particular style of writing for the primary couple, ensemble work full of character and humor, and the broad satire of British cultural mores for which Gilbert and Sullivan are so famous. The Sorcerer, their third piece for the stage, had thus given them their first chance to present a full length piece with real character development. Their first collaboration, Thespis (the music sadly now lost) was an extravaganza, not a standard opera, and Trial By Jury is quite short. Writing Operetta is a tricky business, but Gilbert and Sullivan found the elements of their success remarkably quickly. (when I had a kidney stone, I sincerely wanted the doctors to have me put down) So while I may quibble with some choices here and there, I may beg the indulgence of the Gilbert and Sullivan community by reiterating that we composers can only hope to achieve what these two men did while ill, distracted, or otherwise indisposed. The fact that Sullivan was in excruciating pain while writing this operetta due to a kidney stone makes his achievement almost superhuman. They did not spring fully formed from the head of Zeus. It is no mark of shame to say that Gilbert and Sullivan were learning as they wrote. In this post, I hope to demonstrate Pinafore as a musical step forward for Sullivan as well, one in which he started to draw thematic connections across the entirety of the piece, and in which he began to really come to terms with the way an effective finale is constructed. ![]() While Sullivan may have taken part in those developments, the characters and construction of the plot are clearly Gilbert’s domain. But as time has passed, and Gilbert and Sullivan continued to hone their craft, audiences can see Pinafore as a brilliant step in a journey not quite completed. Commentators have sometimes noted that HMS Pinafore seems like a rough draft of The Pirates of Penzance. Arguments to that effect tend to cluster around the way Pirates is constructed, the way it reuses the most interesting character devices and plot contrivances of Pinafore, but in a smarter and more intentional way. Cutting social commentary, far more incisive than we had seen in The Sorcerer, memorable tunes worthy of comparison to Rossini and Offenbach, and a host of other details combine to make this operetta a truly English confection, not merely a parody of more respectable shows from the continent. When the operetta first hit the boards, audiences must have felt the shock of discovery as they saw the first version of the G&S formula operating on all cylinders. The tunes and catch phrases from the operetta have become part of the lexicon, and as such, the operetta is among Gilbert and Sullivan’s crowning achievements. It is the piece which transported Gilbert and Sullivan from being an interesting potentiality to being a global phenomenon. Along with The Mikado and The Pirates of Penzance, it sits at the very top of the Gilbert and Sullivan pantheon, beloved almost since the first performance. The internet does not need me to provide a comprehensive history of HMS Pinafore.

God's Word is filled with many reminders of how powerful and vital a thankful heart can be in this world. His power, through hearts of gratitude and focused minds on Him, releases the grip our struggles have over us. We're strengthened by His peace, refueled by His joy. And with a heart of thanksgiving, we realize that no matter what we face, God doesn’t just work to change our situations and help us through our problems.

We think God seems distant, like he's far away, or doesn't really care about what's troubling us. Sometimes it really is a sacrifice to offer praise and thanks. We may not feel like it.

Other heating systems might require a clunky radiator with sharp edges and surfaces that are painfully hot to the touch. This allows homeowners to heat each room to their preference without leaving a furnace or boiler running constantly. Electric-based systems are also quick to heat up, and you can utilize a programmable thermostat. This is because the heat stays in the floor, close to the source, rather than leaking out of vents or ductwork. ![]() These heating systems retain heat far better than other systems. Installing radiant floor heating is one such choice. Energy EfficiencyĮvery year, more homeowners, contractors, and building managers make choices that create greener, more environmentally friendly buildings. Furthermore, the lack of drafts will make a room feel warmer, even if the ambient temperature is lower. By heating the floor, radiant heating distributes warmth evenly. Radiant floor heating offers uniform heating that warms the entirety of a room. Areas that are far from vents, closer to exterior walls or windows, or blocked from airflow will always be colder than the areas closer to the source of warmth. This leads to cold spots and uneven heating. Other heating systems use vents to distribute warm air throughout a room. Find out more about these perks and what they mean for your home below. ![]() Overall, contractors and homeowners praise radiant floor heating for its uniform heating, energy efficiency, safety, and ease of installation. Learning about both the benefits and the drawbacks will help you make a smart decision for your home. What Are the Benefits of Radiant Floor Heating?Īs with all home improvement options, radiant floor heating comes with advantages and disadvantages. That said, electric floor heating will create higher utility costs on a monthly basis, making it more expensive to operate over time. How do the two compare? Hydronic floor heating is far more complicated to install, leading to heftier initial costs than the relatively simple electric-based system. Electric radiant heating, on the other hand, heats the floor through smaller electrical wires beneath the floor. The water-based system, also known as hydronic radiant floor heating, pumps water from a boiler through tubing embedded in the floor. As mentioned above, there are two main types of radiant floor heating: electric-based and water-based systems. This allows heat to rise and radiate throughout the room, creating an overall toasty feeling with no random cold spots. While other heating systems warm the air inside a building, radiant floor heating directly warms the floor. ![]() Discover the pros and cons of radiant heat with this overview of what to know about radiant floor heating. If you’re building a new home or renovating your existing one, it’s important to answer these and other questions before choosing your heating system. Despite its long history, many modern homeowners have questions about what radiant heating is, how it works, and whether it’s a good choice for their homes. Today, it uses electrical wires or hot water tubes beneath the floor to heat an entire room. Of course, radiant heating has evolved since then. Radiant floor heating has been providing this solution for thousands of years-ever since the ancient Romans created flues for wood-burning fires beneath their marble floors. When winter hits, all homeowners want a heating system that is warm, efficient, and reliable. ![]() |
