Butter

 Have you ever had a slice of bread home made bread with butter and honey? A simple pleasure.

Since the pound of butter is the same price as a gallon of milk in British Columbia I have have come up with a solution that makes that pound of butter last longer. I let it soften up and then add an equal amount of oil. Then I blend the two substances together.  I like sunflower oil. But grape seed oil , olive oil are also  good for you.  This way I know what is in my spread.  I have not tried coconut oil. I am sure that would be very tasty.
Yesterday, I  added my sunflower oil to the peanut butter. I usually buy the natural type without the added hydrogenated fats and sugar. On Saturday, I bought the crunchy type and the family likes the smooth kind. So I was trying to make the crunchy smooth with my blender. Not an easy task. But it was easier once I add some oil.It was easier to blend the last 1/2 cup then it was to blend the first 11/2 cups.
