Just got a wild hair and did it today. Been putting it off for weeks, but,,,went to HEB in Kingsland today. Backed out of going furthur,,to Walmart. Didn't really need to. Found all i needed on my list in HEB. When i told my son i was going he asked me to bring him back that double carton of soy milk, so i did. He had called earlier from a garage sale asking if i wanted a jump box. I said,,huh? Then he explained, it will jump your car battery and also air the tires. OF COURSE i wanted it, so he's gonna bring it by later. He said it was like new. Told him that's why i quit going to those, got enough already. lololol. They bought some kind of huge wicker thingy couple of weeks ago, 500 new, 50 there, and it was still new. The girl had just bought it. Then, he was offered 25 more if he would sell it. hahahaha.
A lady in HEB was telling me about some kind of dish that you could put your butter in and not have to refrigerate it. Said something about it using water in it too. I have never seen one, but sure would like to have one. This real butter stays hard. She said they were kinda old, likely to find them at garage sales. Anybody ever had one, or seen one? I wouldn't even know what it was if i did find one. Guess i'm gonna have to google it. lol. Now, i think i remember my grandma using just a saucer with a cup or bowl over the butter, sitting on the table. When i was little i know i helped churn some of that lolol,,never learned to milk a cow tho. Tried,,,I have one of those churns now, don't know why or what i'm gonna do with it. Was at Mother's. 2 of em. She never got rid of anything. Some people call them antiques,,i call them junk. Got a trunk too, now i have it loaded sitting at the foot of my bed, in the way. I like OPEN spaces! Don't know if i could ever make an rv work or not, cause of that.
MsBelinda was talking about Letterman jumping on Justin Bieber,,,and wow, he sure did, that %#$#.
Tatoos are none of his business. Personally, i don't have any, but my dotter does, and i like hers just fine. My g/dotter had one put on the back of her neck. Don't know why i never did it. Time and place never right i guess. Dotter got hers at the biker meets we held when i was married the 2nd time. They are little, can't see em unless she wears something with straps.
Gonna go shut my eyes for a bit, so yall tc, and
HAGD
http://www.lehmans.com has ceramic butter keepers. They are a great thing to have around if you use butter.
ReplyDeleteI did google them and there are lots. Not sure if they would work with margerine or not. Right not i'm using real butter so yeah,,would. How did i miss them forever?
DeleteI've seen those butter keepers in Germany where they use them all the time. I have a glass butter dish with a lid that I keep on my table all the time, or I would if I had a/c. I keep it in the fridge when the weather is real hot. Talk about the old days on the farm, my grandmother gathered eggs every day and she kept them in a basket on her work table. I don't use eggs often enough to do that now, but wish I could because they taste better. I got my own cow to milk every summer (most of it ended up on my legs), but I never got to churn.
ReplyDeleteWe got to gather eggs out in the barn and around at Grandmas. They also had a cellar filled with canned things. We did have chickens after moving here, and i still love em. They can make you happy by just watching them,,scratching and singing. Running when the rooster calls. Jumping on an innocent kitten when he tries to chase the babies,,,lololololol.
DeleteHad to admit I had to google Butter Keeper. Had never seen one before but it does say it works for both butter and margarine.
ReplyDeleteI have a jump box and it was a life saver because my old car had some sort of an electrical problem and the battery would die if I did not start it at least every two days.
It also came in handy when the lights went out all night one time. Just plugged a small lamp to it for light when we went to the bathroom.
Have 2 of the butter keepers that you describe. Got them in Arlington at Westlake Hardware. The larger, outside, dish holds water. Then the butter goes into the "inside" dish, and you turn it upside down. Sure has surprised company; they don't expect the butter to be upside down. It works great, as long as your house doesn't get too hot. I mean, when the water gets really warm, what do you think is going to happen? We keep the air on 78; the butter doesn't melt.
ReplyDeleteI pre-cut my butter into patties then take it out about 30 minutes prior to eating. Pure butter is better for you than margarine. (unless you eat as much of it as I do)
ReplyDeleteI just read about Ben, and it has hit me hard. So i'm really sorry i'm not answering today.
