I made butter yesterday - much easier than I thought it would be - and there are several steps. You have to shake cream until the butter comes. Then you have to rinse the butter. Then you have to dry the butter. Then you have the option of salting the butter. And of course, every step requires a quality check. Sonagi, you are absolutely right about soy, and I didn't eat much. My husband put a can of soybeans in a stew that made about 6 servings. And I had some commercial mayonnaise, so that was almost certainly made with soy oil. But just last night one of my friends brought up, with absolutely no prompting from me, how soy is touted as a health food and yet it is one of the most genetically modified and generously sprayed crops in the US. Since I don't talk much about my weird ideas on food, not wanting to be one of those annoying evangelists, I was pleased to see the topic come up. Cheers to all the closet butter eaters!

I used to get on his case about that, but not anymore! Fat on fat, that's where it's at.

I've moved beyond little slices of butter to large pieces. It sounds like you're eating delicious things this month. I did a google image search for cardoons and realize people grow them in my neighborhood; they're the things that look like artichokes and aren't. <a href="http://food.gofrolic.org" rel="nofollow">Food Is Love</a> Another butter eater here.

Asians consume it in small quantities. I nearly confessed on the soy thread at Mark's that I eat tofu and soy noodles on occasion because I like the taste. I do NOT consume any fake meats. Give me the real thing, please. Don’t fret the soy. Asians consume it in small quantities.
