Yes. I use and love using butter. I use it to cook eggs, and I use it on rice and also on noodles and on baked potatoes. Sometimes, I sauté garlic and vegetables in butter, too. I use unsalted butter, and add salt as needed to control the amount. I do not use margarine. 

 

And yes, @Desert Lily - eating warm bread at an Italian restaurant is like eating a desert or a delicacy for me, especially as I do not typically eat bread or purchase bread.

Sometimes.  When I'm in Shoprite, I buy their substitute  spread made from vegetable oil.  Very good and only $1.19 for a fairly large container.

@loriqvc I grew up on margarine too.  My mom was quite the penny pincher.  Oh, and Miracle Whip, blech!  But, every so often when we visited my grandparents we got real butter from the churn.  Fresh milk from the cow too.  I have to say, the butter at the grocery store, while better than margarine, is not as flavorful as churned from the cow butter.  I think the pasteurization has something to do with it.

Yes I do.  There is nothing like real butter.  I use Kerrygold.

Yes, I keep some in a butter keeper on my kitchen counter so I have soft butter available.  It's all I use.  It's not like I eat butter on a daily basis though, but if a recipe calls for butter or margarine, butter is what I use.  


Same here! Love those butter keepers. I have them in two colors, one for regular and one for unsalted.

Yes, actually I'm kind of addicted to butter.  Never have I ever used margarine or butter substitutes.
