Always keep butter refrigerated. Store it in its original container in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not the warmer "butter keeper" on the door. Store it away from foods with a distinctive odor like cheese, onions, garlic, etc..

Refrigerate unused portions of opened butter in a covered dish.

LAND O LAKESÃ‚® Butter has a shelf life of four months. For longer storage, freeze in carton.
Wow!! Good to know! Thanks for that. . . I always thought you could just leave it out! But I it is a dairy product. . .

I keep it in the fridge. It gets so hot here I think it would be a big mess if I left it out!

Also store extra in the freezer. A pound of butter lasts me a while.

This is very useful information, I know alot of people who keep their butter out.

I am glad the thread got ressurected!

In fact, I think someone should post in it once a week.

My sister and I used to snack on butter, but we'd cut off of the "candy bar"

Ew, I still don't know how we did it. And, *looks around, pinches herself* I am alive! And, I am not overweight!

OK, that's enough Lulu and Carla !!!! Them's fightin words and only some stylish bloodshed will appease my patriotic anger! I mean - do I laugh because you lot choose to mix peanut butter and jam er jelly?? ... Do I roll around the floor because you eat grits?? Do I crap myself with glee when you drink coca cola with your breakfast??? Nar, well okay, yes, but I laugh only in a really classy way. And of course the English get hilariously silly over that tannin drink. ...

I've lost me train of thought. Oh yeah.. I was gonna clobber you for takin the mickey out of that noble Australian institution, that amazing black gold, that veritable elixir of life... VEGEMITE. I wrote some immoral high poetry in honour of our national treasure once.. did I ever post that? Not that you deserve to be enlightened, elevated and inspired by my lofty insights.

Vegemite

When life's a royal pain in the a$$

And innards seethe with nasty gas

Kiss it better, make it right

Smear yer toast with vegemite

When folk around give you the sh$ts

And work is really mega pits

Bite the bullet, see the light

Hang in there with vegemite

This black brew puts hair on yer pex

And guarantees exotic s$x

It makes ya smile, it cures the blues

Goes really great with aussie booze

And if the world goes down the toilet

You'll still be smiling - no grot will spoilet

You know that in the darkest night

There's always pots of vegemite

Add it to your life - and bliss

Will come with every salty kiss.

OH MY GOD! It has a SONG? VEGEMITE HAS A SONG?

You Aussies're an interesting lot! :wah: Perhaps it's something you need to experience IN UTERO? :wah:

Anyway, in the interest of "stylish bloodshed," (anything for a pal,) I've opened a vein and stopped the bleeding with a dab of......

(you've already guessed it.....) something to cauterize, sanitize and BURN MY FLESH!

GUFFAW !!!! Well, Okie, if nobody else wants it, there'll just be more for me. Every cloud has a silver lining....

It's cold, windy, sleety and generally yuck here this Saturday arvo. I gotta hit the road again tomorrow early, so should be packing, I guess... I hate packing. Maybe a spoonful of vegemite will enable me to cruise through that painlessly - rather like Popeye getting his spinach ?????
