    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Similar to a compound bow, but much better tasting!
This is great for slicing off a hunk onto a steak fresh off the grill, or slid into a baked potato to steam and melt.

You need:
1 stick butter, unsalted or salted your choice
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 shallot, minced
1 pinch garlic powder
1 tsp Tarragon, oregano, or parsley whichever you prefer

Allow the butter to sit out until it reaches a temp you can moosh it with the back of a spoon at. Then add the other ingredients and moosh well to blend. You can put it in the fridge in the container you mixed it in to set back up, or you can do a quick and simple roll with it that makes for pretty slices. To roll: Take a piece of waxed paper and spoon the butter into the center, in a rough tube shape. Roll the paper up around the butter tightly, using pressure to get the thickness you want. Twist the ends like a tootsie roll and toss it in the fridge to set back up.

Wonderful stuff!
 
Sounds good! I rarely use butter and the last time I did it was to make "special" cookies.
 
That will be considered soo fancy at the next family/group dinner I have to make! :D

Thanks! I love easy things that make me look spiffy in the kitchen, 'cause I'm really so not!
