Ugh. Fun shapes sounds like too much work.
U make my own butter if we're milking our own cow, though. We are getting milk elsewhere at the moment.

I've made butter before, in a churn the old fashioned way. It was a lot of work. Lehman's store has a hand held butter churn I was looking at last time I was there. When I get my milk cow, I'll do my own butter

It churns faster if you start with the cream at room temp. I have one of those nice glass jars with the wooden paddles, what do you use?

We have one of those at home where I grew up. It was decoration by the time I came along. I was scared to touch it because it might break. Mama put the fear in me! If you don’t have a lot of cream, you can just put it in a bowl and shake it. Definitely do it at room temp.

I picked up a new butter dish at a flea market today. The one in the foreground is my current one and it really bugs me how it's narrow enough that butter smears all over the lid if I don't put it on just so. The new one has more space so will hopefully fix that problem.

The butter stick shape difference is a newsworthy topic. I grew up in Kansas. Long, thin sticks there. Moved to Washington and thought it was weird that butter was short and chunky.

What a rip! NPR couldn’t afford pics of the different shapes?

Publicly funded. What do you expect? LOL

Er, wouldn't a jar be better? A jar with a lid?

Or a bowl with a lid. Like an old plastic butter container.

When I don't know if something is normal chicken stuff or if it's a sign that some one is sick...

Firmware updates that do not copy settings and re-apply them after updating. Spent a half hour redoing things in the BIOS on my machine to recover the security keys and get it to properly boot.

Thanks for nothing, MSI.
