Shave the Butter

You know how the butter is always cold when you need it? If you've got hot toast and cold butter, a great tip is to use a cheese slicer. Slice off a thin layer of the cold butter and lay it on your hot toast (or biscuit, or waffle, or whatever). Voila! You've got butter meltin'.

Another idea -- did you know that you can freeze butter? I buy it on sale and put it in the door of my freezer, then only take out a stick at a time to keep in the fridge. I never run out.

By the way, please use REAL butter and not margarine. Ask any naturopathic doctor or a good nutritionist, or do some research yourself. Olive oil is also really good on your bread. Sometimes I use olive oil to make garlic toast. Everyone loves it.
