While everyone was enjoying home-made cookies during dessert at the Friday night seuda, Shimi requested a spoon of peanut butter.
When he saw that his brother Chaim was giving him a strange look, he explained: “I want to dip my cookie inside the peanut butter, to give it an extra kick!”
“Ah, okay,” said Chaim, “I’ll also try that...” When the natural B&D jar of peanut butter was brought to the table and the cover was removed, Shimi and Chaim looked inside the jar and then at each other. “Are you thinking what I am thinking?” asked Shimi.
“Well I am wondering if we are allowed to stir up the peanut butter now to mix in the oil that’s floating on top of it,” said Chaim.
“That’s exactly what I am wondering about,” said Shimi, “Because it seems that would be a melacha of Losh!”
Question: Can they mix the peanut butter?
