The power of butter...

[fajrdrako]

When I go to the grocery I end to have trouble remembering what I need, especially since I'm bad at making notes. So I tend to keep buying the things I know I use a lot - milk and butter, for example.

I just looked in the fridge and realized that I have five pounds of butter. I guess I don't use butter as much as I think I do.

LOL... my mom does the same thing with ketchup. She was out of town last weekend, and I was over keeping my dad company. I opened the cabinet and there were at *least* five bottles of ketchup in there. We had a good laugh over that ;)

Well, you can use a lot of ketchup if you really put your mind to it! Hope your family uses it a lot....

Beautiful icon you have there.

Time to make toast.

LOTS of toast...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Oooh what a pretty icon!

Yeah, toast. I made use of some of the butter this afternoon - on popcorn. A lovely way to use butter.

Life is uncertain... eat toast first. (Well, that's my version of it, at least.)

The pretty icon reminds me of a magazine cover glimpsed at work on Wednesday or Thursday. The magazine is YM, which used to be Young Miss but is now just YM (we Americans and our acronyms... sigh). Orlando Bloom is on the cover. The copy says: "Orlando Bloom -- why he loves Johnny Depp and why [something else about being happy he's an actor, can I be blamed for not remembering that part when the first part said "why he loves Johnny Depp???]"

Nice picture of him, too. Looking cute and self-effacing with an all-too-"normal" haircut.

I can't imagine why every person on this planet wouldn't love Johnny Depp!

American acronyms - it isn't just Americans who use 'em. We just can't keep them contained anywhere!

Toast. Well, it's French toast this morning, and that involves butter.

Time to make lotsa cookies for a BIG bake sale and raise $$ for some worthy cause.

Or, possibly, have lots and lots of lovely slippery and mildly kinky sex. ;-)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I could always make the cookies and eat half and sell the other half for a worthy cause. I wonder if my yoga school wants a bake sale?

And why only mildly kinky?

[jkluge.livejournal.com]

BTW, I'm out of butter. Want to send me some?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's legal. Canada Post would confiscate it. Otherwise - I would!

[walkingowl.livejournal.com]

I like the slippery and mildly-kinky sex idea.

But what I thought of first was: ghee. Can you still eat it, and how hard is it to make, anyway?

(But that'd still be a heck of a lot of ghee!)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I will probably make ghee of it, since I generally eat ghee instead of butter. It's very very easy to make, though it takes a little time. (Fifteen minutes per batch?)

Sound like the right time to make cookies. You have sugar and flour to go with all that butter?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

No, actually I'm totally out of sugar. But I like the idea of cookies. Ginger cookies, maybe? Butterscotch chip? Peanut butter? Oatmeal? All of the above? Now I'm making myself hungry.

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

With that much butter, you can do all of them.
Now I want cookies, and dont' have the right kind.

Adam (sparklebutch) recs chocolate and chocolate chip. Also, he says, make a mental note for future reference - to buy less butter. ;)

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I did buy sugar. So now I'm all set.... Chocolate chip always goes over well. Mental note r butter already made. I bought groceries today - and remembered not to get butter.

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Yay all round! And what a pity i won't be able to taste them.

[dargit.livejournal.com]

shortbread !

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yum - good idea!
