Did the World End?

The Carondelet Kitchen running out of butter is certainly a sign the world is ending or one of us forget to pick it up at the store.  It is not unusual for us to have three to four pounds of butter at a time and usually two to three different kinds of butter.  After all, you may need unsalted butter instead of salted.  Or, perhaps, you would like a finishing butter instead.  The list goes on depending on your recipe.

I realize this is probably the time I’ll get a comment about how unhealthy butter is for your diet.  People, life is too short to skimp on the butter.  I say that only because I could never get into margarine, or I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.  Believe me, it is not butter!

As a final thought, I totally agree in moderation which is certainly something Big Guy and I practice daily.  This is despite the fact my grandpa lived to be 103 eating eggs and bacon every day in the same grease.  YUCK!  Obviously, I never adopted that practice from my family’s eating habits!
