Airtight is almost impossible to achieve, Butch....short of vacuum sealing.

Smart Balance?? That's no more butter than turtle poop is, Carl :D. That's one of the obvious problems with this whole thread...seems to me that a whole bunch of y'all have no idea what is and what is not butter.

Actually, in our house that's the preference. Sodium is worse for us that a little real butter. You can always add a little sea salt at the table, or in the cooking, if you feel the need. Sweet butter has WAY better flavor than salted, imo. Tillamook is #1, but Land 'o Lakes is no slouch...

Un-pastuerized...straight from the cow, microbes and all.

I was going to say the same, but then realized I have no idea how the costs compare in Butch's area. Here, it's just as you say Ed, though we have pretty cheap electric rates compared to many places.

My gas range top boils water in a copper kettle just fine...I can wait 3 minutes. We reheat things in either a double boiler, a rice steamer, or the oven...I can wait 10 minutes. I'm not against them, they just don't fit into my lifestyle. There is nothing you can do in your kitchen with the...

Agreed.

Raw food doesn't turn up much at your house, does it Al? :D

:lol::lol: I hear Jay has entered the "stick" market...but the shipping is a bear.

Microwave :lol:. Butter, we have.

I'm told about 5 seconds in a microwave oven makes a stick of refrigerated butter spreadable...don't know from personal experience as we don't have one.
