For those with peanut allergies, the solution is not to give up on the old classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich altogether, but to give it a new spin so you can avoid anaphylactic shock and still be part of the lunch bunch.

Two-Disc Epitomizes Strengths, Weaknessesnew
Neither the tunes nor the lyrics can quite sustain the quieter presentation, however. It's intriguing, and Dave Grohl sings surprisingly well, but it's hardly memorable.
