help solve our butter battle

[nailpolish]

dh says we have to keep the butter in fridge. if my back is turned he slips it in. i have always (and so did mum) kept butter in butter dish in the larder. why put it in fridge? it just comes out like a brick and useless.

if dh gets butter out of fridge he slices it like cheese and puts it on his toast. whereas i spread it

pft

Buy two packets?

agree that butter is best (i.e. more usable) out of the fridge.

Habbibu's solution sounds good

I have a dh that does that too. PITA.

m&S spreadable butter v nice though and it is just butter.

Butter in the fridge? Cant see the point. Useless for anything. We have it in a butter dish on the side but only put half a packet out at the tiem as I dont liek it sittign out for too long.

but i dont want dh having inch thick butter on his toast, so im not happy about it being in fridge for this reason

project - ill have a wee look, ta

he insists butter goes off out of the fridge

Ah. I love butter, but the "cheese slice" thing is a bit horrible, I think. I'd always keep butter outside the fridge (but then I do that with eggs, so take no notice of me). Agree that M%S spreadable butter is very nice.

I only put butter in the fridge in the very hottest weather, I don't think it went in at all this year.

If your dh is slicing butter on to his bread, then he's eating far too much of it.

eggs are kept outside fridge in this house too

ok, i shall tell him he is alone in thinking its kept in fridge

i always thought spreadable butter was half butter half marg

buy one of these

dh just ADORES butter. so do i but i stop at slices of it

Most of the spreadable ones are NP. M&S not. I think they whip it or something to make it soft.

wow hildegard - stylish too!

I always put butter in the fridge (and eggs) and both dh and ds slice it off on their toast!

(but then spent formative years in a v hot country where you'd be downright loony to leave butter out of the fridge!)

i will check it out, project. there is a markies nearby.

how are you anyway? hows the girls? are you coming to the night out?

It was the best christmas present I was given last year. Especially when filled with belgian butter with sea salt crystals.

£35!!!!!!! For a butter dish???
Well, if you fill it with salt crystal butter... hmmm... on hot toasted sourdough bread... [pig emoticon]

Yep I am coming. I have paid I think? Girls fab. Been xmas party dress shopping great fun. They both have teeny silver shoes awwwwww!

How are the dds? Is dd2 any more settled now?

I agree eggs and butter out of fridge. BTW was I the only one that sniggered when reading "if my back is turned he slips it in"?

they are fine. all settled now.

yes youve paid i just asked cos you werent sure about dd2...leaving her etc

If your butter is coming out of the fridge like a brick it is either in the wrong place in the fridge (it should be in the door) or your fridge is too cold.

comeoveneer
i did cringe when i read that back...thought id got away with no-one noticing...

ew cov.

we keep our out we eat it before it goes off

what butter do you all like? i used to get kerrygold but now use anchor (boring subject i know)

i like using local butter
