Mmmm Mmmm Good! I can't wait for a chance to try this. It sounds really great, but quite rich. I just lost about 70 pounds, and that sounds like about 5 pounds begging to get back aboard, haha.
Thanks for the recipe. I am sure many of us will try it.

Oh yeahh!!!! Butter butter butter! If ya don't believe Francor, ask Paula Deen!! Butter, pork fat, lots of hot spices, Emeril, and Paula rule!!! When I read the ingredients on the tub of margarine, I simply shake my head, and put it back on the shelf and buy the butter. Nothing in there but good dairy products and a little salt. I bought some kind of heart smart shit not long ago, because we were having company and the guest did not eat real butter on biscuits. I tasted it just for the hell of it. I would not pack wheel bearings with that crap, much less put it on anything that was going in my mouth.

Hell, we buy butter here for $2.50 a pound, and sometimes $2 on sale or at Sav- a -lot (Kinda like Aldis, but not as nice) How much is butter in Utica now?

I sympathize with young people with or without children today. I spent many years cutting corners in the food budget, and feeding a family plus foster children. We ate well, but sought to find bargains. We ate a lot of chicken, and ground beef, but always had green veggies and plenty of milk and cereal available for them. I was always of the impression that God gave us teeth to chew, and that for a difference of a buck a pound, I could chew a chuck steak a little longer, rather than to buy a sirloin.
Now that I am older, retired, and have only two of us to feed, I am a little less frugal in shopping. I buy real butter, fresh veggies when I am able, instead of frozen or canned, and I buy such things as peppers, cukes, and tomatoes, when they are out of season in my garden, no matter the price.
Kathy is a wonderful cook and baker. We love fresh broccoli steamed to perfection, and she makes home made bread a couple of times a week. I will not buy plain supermarket bread. We do buy specialty breads and artisan breads from Walmart, but never just plain old Wonderbread white. Bread, to some people, is simply something to hold a sandwich together. Believe me, if you make a sandwich with home made bread, the bread is a wonderful flavor contribution to a sandwich. Toast in the morning is a whole new experience with home made bread.
With milk here, costing between $3.50 and as much as $4.75 in some places, I would not be wanting to buy the two gallons a day that we used when we had 4 of our own kids and a foster child in the house.
Grocery shopping always has room for bargain hunting, while maintaining a quality diet. There are sales and places to save, without compromising flavor and quality in your diet. I "treat myself" to REAL butter, and to "fresh" vegetables instead of frozen or canned, but I cut a corner or two in other places while shopping. I buy cuts of meat that are on sale, and I make our own breakfast and italian sausage when pork butts are on sale. I buy large cuts such as a whole pork loin, and cut our own chops and a roast or two from the loin. When I want hamburger, I buy chuck roast, or round roast, and either have the meat cutter grind it in front of me, or I take it home and grind it myself. I don't trust pre-ground packing house hamburger such as what you buy at walmart.
Well, enough rambling on the subject of groceries. haha. Enjoy your REAL butter. Margarine is for greasing baking pans, for frying. Butter is for EATING. Tub margarine is a rip off. If you try to fry an egg in it, you throw a spoonful into the skillet. All the added water steams away, and you are left with about 25% of what you threw in the pan. Pretty expensive water, supposedly added to make it spreadable.
