  1. Just like touching raw meat, I don’t know how I’m going to manage unwrapping the butter and cutting it up for the recipe.
    Just the thought is making me nauseous.

    Have you though about psychoanalysis for this problem???

  2. Geez, sorry all. Butter is not my thing.
    I can’t look at it when a clump is sitting on toast. ugh! I can MAYBE have it on toast if it’s very very very light and I don’t notice it’s there. And the taste of butter doesn’t appeal to me.

    It’s never an ingredient in Chinese cooking. I guess you’ve never made anything Italian or French!!!!

  4. rob and exp text,

    this past fall, I had to evict a squirrel from my house.
    every night around 10PM, I would hear something moving behind the wall in the upper corner of my living room.
    This went on for weeks and I just figured it was some sort of bird nest.

    finally, after I started hearing the noises above the ceiling in the foyer, I said this is no bird. I thought it might be a racoon.

    next day, I started to investigate and found a hole chewed in the wood beneath the rain gutter. Easy enough, I patched it and painted it.

    next day,
    the noise was back.
    Went out and found the patch eaten through.
    patched again, with stronger wood.

    next day,
    the noise was back.

    looked and found a new hole on the other side of the house.
    this tit for tat
    went on for several weeks, until I finally caught the bastard in the act,
    it was a squirrel!

    I patched and sealed all the holes on a weekend and the squirrel positions himself outside of my dining room window on the garage and starts making a sound like; “eeeeeeeekk, eeeeeeeek, eeeeeeeekkk,” for what seemed like 5 minutes straight.
    the kids were scared and so I had to go out and confront this bugger man to squirrel.
    I climbed the ladder and opened the hole again as it watched me quietly, then went inside.

    I don’t know what it went in to retrieve but it did it’s business and left after that.

    I’ve since had the gutters and roof redone so the problem has gone.
    For now.
    and the tree in the backyard has a giant squirrel’s nest in it now.
