Me: Please get a pound of butter at the grocery store.
My husband: Didn’t we buy butter last month?

3 months ago
Me: Please get 2 pounds of butter at the grocery store.
My husband: Seriously?! You are killing yourself.

Yesterday
My husband: How many pounds of butter do you want from the grocery store? (With no judgement.)

Butter has become my condiment of choice. The trick is to not put it in the fridge, leave it in a butter dish out on a kitchen counter. It never lasts long enough to go off, and is a creamy confection with a steak or omelette. No messy mucking around making mayo (although I still do this as well), just cut off a large lump and stick it on the steak. Nomnomnom… :ok_hand:

Butter melted all over the bench is a thing of great beauty and utility.

Sweet sleeping kitten on Butter Boat:

And of course, a zillion mass produced choices on Amazon:

Being an artist myself, I tend to try to “support your local starving artist”. :wink:

Anyway, I had a Butter Keeper bell for many years, and used it mainly in the warmer months to keep the butter softened just right on the kitchen counter. Works fantastic!
