| Not enough butter. | | 2008-06-04 14:30:00 | | June 5 ... Saving every scrap and drip of fat rendered in the kitchen was a patriotic act for housewives in the Allied countries during both World Wars. Every scrap and drip was almost as good as a bomb on the enemy, because even the blackest grungiest smelliest grease contains a very desirable 10% of glycerine – desirable because it is an essential ingredient in explosives. The fat was collected in empty cans kept beside the stove, and these were collected, usually by the local butcher, and sent to the munitions factory. The authorities were very serious about the saving of fat - a good housewife could earn two extra meat ration points for every pound of fat collected. The other half of the patriotic culinary effort was reducing the use of fat in the first place, and this was enforced via rationing. In Australia on this day in 1944, the butter ration was reduced to 6 ounces, which was still very luxurious compared with the miserable 2 ounces allowed in Britain.

| | It Tastes Like Butter, but Its Not, Its Heart Disease | | 2008-06-01 09:14:59 | | The term margarine was gleamed from the Greek word for pearl. The original margarine was white, shiny, and hard, some say and other's that it was gray. The first ingredients were milk, beef fat, sheep's stomachs and cow's udders. The procedure for making margarine was to treat the ingredients with heat, lye and pressure. Emperor Louis Napoleon the third, while at the 1866 World Paris Exhibition announced he would sponsor a cheap replacement for butter. Although it is said that he wanted to help the poor get their portion of fat in their diet, he saved money on butter for his army, after the French chemist Hippolyte Merge-Mouiries invented margarine. Some say it was first made to fatten turkeys, but it killed them. Arguments against margarine quickly arose by governments and food industries. Laws were made to keep margarine manufacturers from adding yellow food coloring to it make it more appealing and a tax was forced onto margarine by help from the Dairy industry.

| | Benefits of Using Raw Butter | | 2008-05-16 04:40:00 | | Butter has gotten a bad rap over the past decades, mostly due to commerical interest rather than health interests. Butter is a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The saturated fat in butter actually enhances our immune function, protects the liver from toxins, provides nourishment for the heart in times of stress, gives stiffness and integrity to our cell membranes, and aids in the proper utilization of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Butter will add extra nutrients and flavor to your vegetables, whole grain breads, and sautéed dishes.Butter is a completely natural food essential to your health - especially when you eat organic. Also, please make the extra effort to obtain high-quality organic, raw butter.Margarines, on the other hand, are a processed food, created chemically from refined polyunsaturated oils. The process used to make these normally liquid oils into spread-able form is called hydrogenation. Margarine and similar hydrogenated or processed polyunsaturate | | By: Just a List | | |
| | Hot Pepper Gingerbread Muffins with Orange-Maple Butter | | 2008-05-11 13:36:42 | | Thanks Darwin Bell For Use of his Photo.I found this recipe in The Sweet Melissa Baking Book, Which I will review in a future post.This recipe sounds so good. I love ginger and cardamom. And maple butter is one of those taste memories from childhood- my grade school would have waffle days, and they would serve these waffles made from scratch, big pale yellow round ones the size of a plate. The waffles were barely browned - so that they were soft and warm and not crusty on the outside. And on the top they would serve a scoop of fluffy maple butter, so when you spread it onto the waffle, the maple butter would sink into the individual spaces in the grid, exploding into your mouth at each bite....yumm! I have never forgot that taste.To Make Hot Pepper Gingerbread Muffins:Preheat oven to 350°F , use the center rack.

I can understand two of the three things that are being changed, and am quite happy about those two things. Let's start with the positive:Our Wegmans will finally have a sushi bar by Mother's DayThe Nature's Marketplace section has been expandedNow the notso pleasant change:Aisles shortened by inserting a break in the middle of each aisleNow, putting in that break wouldn't have been so bad if they also didn't change where all the products were located. Every single aisle is different. Those who know me know I plan my grocery list and coupons based on where items are in located in the store. I knew our Wegmans so well that I often found myself giving directions to out-of-towners who had driven over from the Lake to pick up groceries (more fan girl action here).Anyway, one of the basic items I needed to pick up today was peanut butter.

After several - Nay! - Numerous bread stories over the last couple of years, I am finally induced to write about the lovely, pure, vitamin-rich (A and D), all-natural and very tasty yellow grease.

I got a dessert which is chocolate brownies with butter and walnuts. I am not really fond of eating sweet food but I just grabbed 4 slices as seems the brownies urging me to eat sweet food and I took 4, because I was thinking might my hubby will be going eat too or perhaps later I can eat it. When I started tasting the brownies, gosh, it is really tasty and it comes with walnuts and I planned to eat just 1 slice but darn I end up eating three small slice I do not like to eat sweet foods also as I do not want to gain weight and since I ate 3 slices of chocolate fudge makes me wanted to do exercise tomorrow morning (lol).

Peel peanuts and and grind them with sesame in a poppy seed grinder. Add sugar, salt and citric acid and puree in blender. Use soy milk to control thickness.In this recipe citric acid is completely optional and it's here in order to prevent butter to change color. If you don't feel comfortable with citric acid as a food additive, just omit it.Store butter in a fridge for 7 days. It never stayed longer than that time in mine so I'm not quite sure about keeping it for longer period of time.

| | Bread and Butter - Part 2 | | 2007-10-12 10:54:00 | | The company I spoke of in my last post is still in business. They have lost many of their employees along with the bread and butter customers. I was one of those employees.Last I heard, that formerly $14,000,000/yr company is now worth only about $6,000,000/yr, and still sinking. All of my old co-workers who I'd built friendships with are no longer there, so I will not know for sure how that company is doing from now on. I only have one small clue... I visit their website about twice a year to see if there have been any changes. So far, there are 3 pages that come up with a 404 error, the starting flash page has some glitches, and there has been nothing added or updated in about 3 years. It's only a small clue, but it's a revealing one.My current company will stop working on large jobs to take care of the little guys. The little guys are the easiest to take care of and negotiate with (not to mention they're fun, the big dogs seem to have lost their sense of humor somewhere along the way). They are usually honest about when they need their work done and whether we really need to stop working on our current job. They are aware of our scheduling issues and aren't terribly demanding of our time unless it's a true emergency.Our big customers came to us because of the referrals from the little guys. We have never gotten a new customer from a big dog.Who do you concentrate on in your business? Who are you more willing to bend over backwards for? Be very careful who you choose to romance in business. Those $50/month customers may be giving you enough referrals to amount to $50,000/mo. That $50,000/mo single customer will go to the cheaper guy in a heartbeat, leaving you hanging and twisting in the wind.

| | Egg on egg with butter - Eggs benedict | | 2007-10-12 05:15:55 | | Following a brief excursion into mayonnaise making the other week, it got me thinking about egg based sauces. For some reason or another, I had never tasted hollandaise sauce. This would have stemmed from the days when I had to make hollandaise on a regular basis at the pancake restaurant that I worked at - and although it always turned out fine for me - it had kind of put me off with the amount of butter it contained; not to mention the fact that by the end of the day it had turned into a split, coagulated mess.In effect, hollandaise is a butter sauce brought together with an egg yolk and seasoned. Egg yolk, so I've learnt from Harold McGee himself, is a natural emulsifier and when combined with fat, starts to thicken. The reason that hollandaise is a warm sauce is simple - butter melts when hot.The hollandaise I made yesterday morning, to adorn my poached egg and muffin, turned out airy and soft with just the right seasoning. Based on Olive's "How to make dead, good hollandaise" from the January issue, the only thing I had to change was the lemon juice, which I used lime juice instead. I am no longer disgusted by hollandaise, and when it's appropriate, I will be making it just like this.Hollandaise1 egg yolkPinch of saltDash of water1 teaspoon white wine vinegar, or other flavoured white vinegar like tarragon125g butter, meltedHalf a juice of limeShake of paprikaMelt the butter over medium heat and try not mix the clear liquid with the white liquid. Whisk together the yolk, water, vinegar and salt in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and when it starts to thicken start adding the clear butter liquids very slowly. Once all the butter is incorporated continue whisking until the sauce starts to thicken. If it thickens too much add a splash of water to loosen it up. Whisk in the lime juice and paprika. | | By: Daydream delicious... | | |
| | Bread and Butter - Part 1 | | 2007-10-10 11:01:00 | | I used to work for a small/mid-sized manufacturing company that made an incredible mistake. The owner bought it when it was only worth $250,000/yr. He built it to a $14,000,000/yr company in only 9 years. It was exciting to work for a company in growth. The atmosphere was one of friendship and fun. All the employees knew each other, we liked each other, we worked as a team, we spent time with each other after work, we were proud to work for this company. And all of us liked and respected the owner, my direct boss (note: past tense). He was the first boss I'd ever had who I truly liked.This atmosphere of friendship and respect extended to our customers as well. We knew our customers by first name. Many of us built friendships with our customers. We invited our customers to barbeques, pot lucks, and weekend sports bar hopping.We suddenly started seeing big pretty carrots placed in front of our faces. We had three very large companies make wild claims about how much product they were going to buy from us.The first of these big dog companies started to buy products. They bought no more than $10,000 a month and only averaged about $7,000. This only lasted 8 months before they disappeared completely. Their promise of $8,000,000/yr never materialized.The second and third of these big dogs never bought even one unit. They spent months on prototypes (nonchargeable), retooling, branding and tweaking everything in sight. But not even one finished product went out the door to be delivered to them.While these diamond encrusted carrots were being dangled in the face of the owner, he decided to put a minimum limit on all orders. Our friendly customers who only bought a few units a months were essentially told they weren't good enough for us. Even the customers who bought a fairly substantial amount of units were told it wasn't good enough.After all, we were tooling up for mass quantities.

| | A Hot Night at Butter | | 2007-07-02 02:12:15 | |
Demi Moore and her hubby Ashton Kutcher, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Shakira, and Penelope Cruz all met each other at NYC HotSpot Butter for a night of partying. If you haven’t been to Butter, it’s actually a pretty small place, so if all these celebs were there, I bet they only let about 5 ‘average’ people in. And when I say ‘average,’ I’m talking about girls that look like supermodels but they’re ‘average’ in the sense that they’re not celebrities. Everyone else waits outside in the cold.
