    😂 my younger sister used to eat butter too… mom & dad kept an open stick of butter in an uncovered dish on the counter. Dad would see marks on top as if someone was running their finger across the top. He thought she was doing it & was waiting to catch her at it.
    One day he saw the cat on the counter licking the butter 🤣😂.
    That ended keeping uncovered butter on the counter.
    Then he found out same cat was licking the bacon grease he kept in his cast iron pan that he fried his eggs in (& the repurposed frozen grape juice container full of bacon grease he kept on the stove to replenish his pan.)!!!
    When my sister was in high school the same cat was knocking the screen off her bedroom window so he could go outside. He thought she was sneaking out. He only figured out it was not her when he let the cat in & 15 minutes later he wanted back in!
    🤣😂 that cat almost got her in trouble so many times 🤣😂
    Of course, if she wasn’t such a rebellious little twit he wouldn’t have thought it was her!
    She didn’t do anything bad per se, she usually just skirted the boarders as close as she could without stepping a pinky toe over them.

    When I was in elementary school and lived in Iowa, we would fill the trunk of the car with Blue Bonnet margarine and dry ice whenever we visited relatives in Minnesota. Oleo margarine was frowned upon in dairy states like Minnesota and Wisconsin. The relatives wanted the oleo margarine. As an adult I discovered that butter tasted so much better and was not unhealthy like we had been told for years. I'm now 70 and still insist on butter, no oleo margarine for me!

There was an opened one on the table in front of him and a beam of sunshine was hitting it directly. The butter was melted and glistening. I noticed him eyeing it a couple of times and, sure enough, he reached over, brought it to his mouth, tipped his head back and poured it down. When he finished I asked how it was. "Amazing"

    The only thing margarine had going for it was the price - much cheaper than butter. But my European Mom was unfamiliar with it, so used to only buy unsalted butter. Then somehow she stumbled upon a recipe for making your own croissant 🥐 dough, but made with Imperial Margarine. I think she really liked the golden colour of her little danish-croissant bundles (filled with a sweet ground walnuts in beaten egg whites with sugar and rum paste). But that was the only recipe she ever used margarine for. Those little golden filled puff pastry crescents were the highlight of every Easter & Christmas. Boy, were we spoiled! ❤

      When i was a kid the creams were always cold, now they sit on a shelf somewhere. I would never let my child drink that, though i would still put it in my coffee.
      I also thank them for being kitchen scale friendly with the grams.
      I want to try this butter sauce with bourbon, malt vinegar, worcestershire, smoked soy sauce, and maybe a touch of sugar if its got a zing to it. I bet it would be awesome on chicken or pork. I would toss a bit of habanero pepper flakes in there too to fire it up

      Eggs and bacon is as far as im willing to take that.
      The sauce sounds good, perhaps a bit salty with 3 kinds of salt, but perhaps not?
      My mind wants to try the butter base, add bourbon, malt vinegar, worcestershire, and maybe some smoked soy sauce or smoked salt (i feel soy would add depth) if its zingy maybe cut with a dash of sugar, the bourbon will help cut the vinegar though and add tons of depth.
      You could try scotch too, i just tested some lagavulin 16yr on some beans OMG! I use much of whats stated here in Campbell's bean with bacon soup. It comes out better than anything a restaurant has made for me. Its my budget night dish that is luxuriously delicious. I say budget night then grab the $100 bottle 😅 normally i use old grand dad to cook with $25/litre. I will be cooking with lagavulin again that islay flavor permiates!

    Hello Dan, I don't have any wierd stories about eating butter that my high cholesterol levels can't support, but I do have one about cats. I had always wanted a cat which my mother never would allow. I had also heard that rubbing butter on a cats paws would make them stay at your home. So imagine my delight when a poor stray cat wandered into my life. I immediately ran for the stick of butter always allowed to sit covered on the kitchen table even in the heat of California. I slathered those sweet little murder mittens to the point that the cat couldn't walk but just lay frozen on the ground (see it worked). I put the butter back on the table and tried to find the perfect name for my newly acquied cat. Sadly my mom wpuld not allow my little pur machine to stay but I did gain satisfaction watching my parents and brother picking hair from their mouths and food that night at dinner. When they said "Pass the butter please," I surely did that night.

    Brown Butter Bites with browned milk solids stirred in rather than in layers. So good eating out of hand. Last T-day, I learned also so good on rolls and mashed potatoes.
    I just had to overcome all the complex cooking instructions. So easy and only takes 6 minutes of actual attention time. I melt the butter in warm pan then come back to turn on the heat to start boiling off the water. Once dense foam starts, turn off heat, use residual heat to brown to your liking and have a pyrex measuring cup to pour it off to stop the browning. All about the heat management.

I told myself that restaurants just use margarine(bad for you) and thats why it tasted good. I did this for my keto diet to dip my meats and this makes a huge difference, its nuts!

    In the 1990's my parents took me to a buffet. Towards the end of our meal, I was looking for desserts which were adjacent to the salad bar. I saw something that looked like pudding in a large tub and I love pudding. I took a scoop or two of this stuff. Turned out I had taken two scoops of softened butter cream, but was too embarrassed to admit it and ended up eating it all with a spoon.

    Oh Dan I so align with you. I LOVE butter. I blame my extra roll of chub when I was younger on my Grandfather. He was a great cook and starting when I was a toddler he would put me in the high chair while he was in the kitchen, give me a dish of oyster crackers and the butter dish and let me go to town :). I loved to like a chunk of butter when I was older. And oh my gosh don't get me started on Amish butter or the fresh butter you get when you travel in France or Germany. Although I have learned to watch what I eat and lost the chub with some discipline I still will not give up my butter!

      We are Tennessee people but lived in Canada for five years. My Dad worked for the pipeline. Oleo was a big white glob in a thick plastic bag. It had a capsule of red dye that you pressed and then the bag was kneaded to work the color into the oleo. It turned it yellow to appear to look like butter. I was a newborn when we went there and I attended Kindergarten there. Very vivid memories of Canada. Occasionally a cool breeze wafts down to Southwest Tennessee and I can smell Canada. I’m team butter all the way!

    Pardonez-moi, I need to go to the kitchen for some butter. A pat of butter is a great snack. Sometimes three or four pats.
    As a child, no one told me about margarine. But I knew some butter was much better than others! My mother says that, where you can't leave some toddlers alone with a sugar bowl, with me it was the butter dish. She found this out when she was gone long enough for three year old me to polish off a stick. It didn't upset my stomach at all.
    But after all this butter talk, I want some.

    You taught us this when you made a butter braised Spring vegetables dish some years ago. That’s one of my and my husband’s favorite sides. Hubby basically eats vegetables because he knows he should, except for that recipe. I made it last week and a few nights later he thought to make it himself. It was terrible and he couldn’t understand what he did wrong. He asked me how I made it and I told him and he told me all he did was microwave the vegetables with butter and water. 🤣 That night he learned it’s not just ingredients that make a recipe.
    I’ll try this emulsion for other things. Thank you!

    Thank you for advocating this wonderful sauce/technique. It is nearly unknown by American home cooks, but so simple and so much tastier than plain old melted butter. I first discovered it a decade ago from a brief reference by Jacques Pepin. Then I found that Thomas Keller published Butter Poached Lobster in 2002 using beurre monte starting with a pound of butter. Water to butter ratios vary from cook to cook.
