To feel murderous when this happens?

My DH cooked a lovely meal last night.

He often cooks, so nothing special there.

However, why, why, why does he have to do this to the butter?
Looks so gross!!

Why do you not have a butter dish? Couldn't live without mine as my daughter would do that or worse without one.

At least it's not crumbs .....

That is another level butter abuse !

Oh yes, have contemplated strangling DH many a time over crumbs in the butter😠

Digging butter out with a fork is a bit weird.
Digging it out with a dirty fork and leaving bits of broccoli in it - yeah, that's gross.

Another family here with separate butters

What is WRONG with him?!

WhateverMate · 27/10/2023 22:36

You'd all hate me!

I kind of 'scuff and mash' it to make it more spreadable 🙈🙈

Mmm broccoli sprinkles - just what you need to get your 5 a day off to a good start on your buttered toast in the morning.

You're lucky you don't live in my house. I often find the butter with finger marks where it's been dug out by hand 🤢

Or small teeth marks 😅

This is why my husband and I have separate butters.

Us too! (except I am the butter maimer)

Is he a honey badger?

Are you married to Wolverine? 🤔

@CranfordScones. One of the first time I went to MIL's for tea wren DH & I were courting she put a pile of bread on the table (not a problem) but then put a tub of spreadable butter on the table and stuck a knife in it like Excalibur.

I still married him & love MIL to bits but II t was a culture shock 😂.

You need a covered butter dish to keep a small amount on the worktop for a day or twos usage. The it won't be so hard and need hacked at.
How does it even spread straight from the fridge? That encourages hacking.

Myhouseisaspiderhotel · 27/10/2023 18:33

It looks like a viennetta a little bit, quite impressive. I suppose that's how I'd leave the butter if I'd been taking speed.

Really would upset me, I think I saw broccoli in it? I don't think I'd be able to cope with that level of butter related disrespect.

FrogFighter · 27/10/2023 18:33

Isn't he just trying to soften it?

Yes, LTB.
Or start planning a new patio.
Sacrilege to mess lovely butter like that!
