By the way, I've borrowed the book "The Shack" and will be reading it...

Funny we were just talking about that book last night at work. I have to start, and finish, The Lazy Bones first, but will be reading The Shack when I am done with Bones. I can't wait to read both.

I guess this is conversation for another thread. :o

I love the new Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil. I got a tub of that with a loaf of pumpernickle bread and pigged out it tasted sooooo good eating 5 slices in one sitting. It's a new item and might not be in stores near you yet. They do have a butter with canola but canola is nothing but rape seed and that makes me sick as humans are not supposed to eat rape seeds - only cattle. No wonder I'd get ill. Canola oil is nothing to ingest if you are a human.

Only olive or coconut oil or butter. No margarine. Until I found out that margarine was nothing but pretend food that was not good for you I would eat it. I confess. Now I wouldn't add it to my body for all the tea in China.

Yes we have tried the L O Lakes with olive oil, pretty good Twink.

I'll have to give the Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil a try!

[Clough]

It looks like butter is the winner here!

[EmoPrincess]

I like using butter, organic to be specific. I just don't like genetically engineered things

[MickSGC]

I use 50/50 but if butter is a key part of the taste then I use real butter!

I most often make a 'short crust' pastry where the flavor isn't so much an issue for me, but if it was bothered I'd add cinnamon or nutmeg to the pastry flour to make it sweet, or salt and pepper for a quiche or 'pastie' (English hand held food) to make it savory.

Depends what for, butter to make scrambled eggs and margarine with my bread :)

Is this Eating or cooking with?

Raison bread, English muffins, sweet potatoes, baked pototoes - butter. Actually baked potatoes I like both sour cream and butter.

Although margerine in a tub with Olive oil in it will substitute.

Baking cookies except "Butter cookies", then stick margerine. Cakes stick margerine.

Frying, usually extra virgin olive oil, sometimes vegetable oil and sometimes a mix of margerine and oil

Potato pancakes have to be made with vegetable oil.

Kugel has to be made with Bacon Grease. Kugel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eating butter or margerine by itself, then neither.

I've never been a Kugel person, haven't found a good enough recipe. Hubby loves the stuff.
We named our dog after it:D (but spelled it different for people who had no clue.):rolleyes: We got tired of pronouncing it for them, 'Coogle':)

I call it Kug-gul-lee

A lot of effort to make. Mine's good, I think. Handed down direct from my grandmother who immigrated from Lithuania.

Try this:

Kugelis
(Grated Potato Pudding)

6 lbs red potatoes
8 eggs (slightly beaten)
3 tsp. salt
12 oz can evaporated milk
¼ tsp white pepper
1 lb bacon
1 medium onion chopped

Dice bacon and fry until almost crisp. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden. Set aside.

Peel and grate potatoes. Add eggs, salt and evaporated milk. Add bacon and onion into the potato batter and mix well, Pour into a greased baking dish. (A Pyrex baking dish is good)

Place into a preheated oven at 450, for 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 and bake until edges are crispy brown – about 1.5 hours.

This may not be the exact recipe, but it has the right ingredients. I know I add some bacon grease to the mix.

This sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen.

I can't understand what is 'ewwwww' about butter with scrambled eggs and margarine for toast. I think that is quite acceptable but I don't use butter any longer, I use Becel with olive oil and it is quite good on toast.

Why don't you use butter any longer, tickle?

Thanks!

Hi Clough ! I use butter when a recipe specifically calls for it. I don't use butter because of my cholesterol. I have actually found that Becel margarine tastes like butter and it is heart friendly and cholesterol friendly. I don't know if you can buy this brand in the U.S. Another good reason is that a pound of butter when sky high up here to about $6.00 a pound. That's a good reason not to use it too.

I remember years ago when they first came out with margarine, it was in bags with a coloured insert that had to be pressed and worked into the white margarine because they weren't allowed to sell margarine that looked like butter.

I agree with Redhead about olive oil for coocking is good, we use Extra Virgin olive oil, but am not sure about duck or goose fat, Thanks.
