Today I'd like to talk to you about butter. Yes, butter, that stuff most people avoid because of fat and society's threats. I want to make it clear right now: I LIKE BUTTER. It is an excellent flavoring agent and just can't be replaced by margarine or some other sad thing. Why should you like butter too? It's so versatile and useful. How do I make the tortillas of my quesadillas so browned, crunchy and beautiful? Butter, how does my Alfredo sauce get so creamy and work with the noodles so well? Butter. How do you get your finger out of a ring you misjudged the size of? Butter. Like I said, it's versatile. It makes sandwiches better, buns delightful and crispy. The greatest bun I've had is the onion bun from The Rack Shack on Robert Street in West St. Paul. Why? Butter. And the fact that it was toasted to give it the right amount of crunch and flavor.
What am I really trying to say here?
STOP being afraid of butter. It's not going to kill you. Sure you're looking to lower cholesterol and keep that waistline still a waistline. A tablespoon of butter is not going to tip you over the edge. If you want good tasting, flavorful food, go with butter. The taste is going to make you forget about the possible (yet unlikely) repercussions. VOTE BUTTER!
