The Great Debate

There are two items that you keep in your refrigerator that put you into a category.
They divide us into groups.
They start fights.
No, they start wars.

First, you are either a mayonnaise lover or a Miracle Whip lover.
And second, you are either a margarine eater or a butter eater.

You notice I refuse to say "lover" in that sentence.
I find it hard to imagine that anyone loves margarine.
Sure, they love it's cost and convenience.  Plus, it's always soft and spreadable. But the taste?
No, no one loves the taste.
I simply can't allow myself to believe that.
I like to believe that the reason margarine even exists, is because someone always forgets to take the butter out of the fridge to let it soften up while dinner is cooking.

So instead of soft, spreadable, golden, deliciousness, you instead have hard little chunks of butter that slide right off of your hot corn on the cob.
And if anything bums me out, it's butter that slides off my corn.

Well, folks, I have the solution to that problem.

If you don't have one of these Butter Bells, you simply must get one.
They border on pure genius and absolute magic and you just have to have one!
Once you start using it, you will never, ever, ever buy margarine again.
And as a bonus, you will never again have to deal with butter that is too hard to spread.

PS-the only down side to the Butter Bell is that instead of sticks, you will start buying giant logs of butter.  Some of these logs are so big that even if I told you how huge they were, you wouldn't believe me.
I'll just leave the convincing up to our pet hippo.  Show em, Henry...

We have one of those! Only ours is called a "butter pot". Brilliant, I tell you. The only downside is remembering to change the water in it every couple/few days. :-)

A hippo??? Who is this and what have you done with my Lana???

Christine, our butter doesn't last long enough for a water change. It's frightening, really, to think how much we go through.
Patty, someone gave me that hippo as a joke. Joke's on them, eh?

You can also get a butter bell at most cookware shops. My cajun grandmother has always had one, so it surprised me when a visiting friend didn't know what it was (some 25 years ago).

And margarine? Who eats that? No one who claims to love food :D
