For better spreadability: warming up the butter shavings.

Heatwave.
This same time, years previous: peach pie with bourbon and fresh rosemary, the quotidian (7.20.20), Italian meringue buttercream, lemony cream cheese frosting, all practicality, on his own, curry potato salad, beets, half-mast.

I’ve been following you since you were featured by Lenore Skenazy ages ago and I’m really disappointed that you support a ceasefire without also calling for the release of hostages. Hamas started the war on 10.7 and we are witnessing an ugly war, but not a genocide. A genocide was perpetrated on 10.7. Copious aid is being sent to Gaza. Check out @mosheh and @bymoalem on ig for unbiased info.

What is Lodi Sauce?
Jennifer Jo
Lodi apples (tart, early apples) made into applesauce.

All that bounty! For better spreadability I process good butter with neutral olive oil. Spreads great and quickly on toast and is great to use as a garnish on cooked items. And it’s healthier as well. I don’t think it affects the butter flavor.

Normally I let our eating butter sit at room temp, but it was liquifying in the heatwave, so I fridged it . . . and then forgot to take it out ahead of time.
