Real butter sounds good. I use olive oil for much of my cooking. I have discovered a great (new to me) oil. Algae oil. For baking, cooking, grilling in a non-aerosol spray can with a neutral taste and for high heat((high smoke point) - 485F. It is the best oil for your heart with the highest level of monounsaturated fat and zero saturated fat.

Duuuuude/ette(?) Share a picture of that bottle? Sometime later this week?
I'm always game for Foodie accessories AKA Food Pr0n.

It's dude!

I think thrive is the only company that makes it. The only place I've found it is Whole Foods.
They stopped carrying it for a while when Amazon took over but they have it in stock again.

OH NOOO!
I just went to their website and they are out of business due to not being able to sell enough. I'm racing off to Whole Foods in the morning to buy all they have.

I have some more food PrOn for you.
My son and his girlfriend came over tonight to share a hot sauce he just bought.
We used to keep a hot sauce called 'Insanity'. This one is called 'Da Bomb - Beyond Insanity'.
My wife and son each had a drop on a chip and were in pain. His girlfriend and I must have had a half drop because, while it was extremely hot, I thought it tasted good and wasn't in too much pain till I took pictures of the bottle and touched my eye. I couldn't open that eye for an hour and teared the entire time.
About 3 drops would light up a whole pot of chili.

We are chili heads here. I grew some Carolina Reaper peppers last year and they were SO hot! I nipped a piece of the end about the size of the head of a pin and I thought it would never quit burning!

No!
No hot sauce for me.
I do not understand the pleasure people get out of hurting themselves or making themselves miserable.
You can just wave any bottle of hot sauce about 10 feet from me and that's enough, thank you.

Here in TX my step-son told me last night that they seem to be leaning toward another lock down.

Side note, TX never plateaued it's still raising since the beginning. We just have a lot of folks who believe & act like this is some hoax. (Sad sigh) having damaged lungs from my tour in the Navy means I have to be extra careful & these folks whom I consider selfish and say that the mask concept is infringing on their 1st or 2nd amendment rights to be on the wrong side of facts, logic & history. I have sadly begun to think of them as Darwin award contenders. And yes, I have direct family who fall into this group I have nicknamed.

I also have friends that have lost direct family from this virus. I have IRL friends and family currently struggling to stay alive with this virus or coming out of it slowly.

I could add about Edward R Murrow or Walter Cronkite's as well as other current ones sound journalistic ethics etc..... But, (heavy sigh).....

For me, it's never been about making one's self miserable.

Only a handful of times have I tested my capsaicin limitations.

All the rest, and I do mean ALL the rest of the times - I am fully & completely eating and enjoying the "warmth" along the way while eating food.
