LOL on the "supersizing"....my husband and I, when we go to McD's or some such place (not very often!), order one meal and supersize it, then order another sandwich (not the meal), and then we share the fries and drink of the supersized meal. We usually can't even drink the whole thing between the two of us, but it makes me realize that some people will eat (and drink) a whole supersized meal by themselves.

I don't think Supersizing is even an option where I live. The regular portions are already way bigger than they used to be or than you need.
Something else that works: Google the general topic and you'll almost always find the same information in some other publication.
Also, if you google the headline and click on the link through Google (or Twitter) it doesn't count towards your 10 articles, even if you're reading it on NYT's site.

If you have access to a Trader Joe's you'll probably find it there, I know the one in my area carries it and sells it for about half the $$$ as a local big chain market does.
My mother switched to margarine when I was in elementary school. Oh, that was cruel. When I got my first job as a teen, I used to buy butter and other things that weren't on her shopping list.
Not sure - did we had a thread about butter? If not, let's talk about - not from the health perspective, but about regions, brands, salted or not, homemade, cultured etc.
I am a butter person. Butter, really good butter, is one of life’s singular pleasures. My all time favorite basic was unsalted butter from Karoun Dairies (I also love their cheese products). It was... till few months ago.
One day, I was at the dairy aisle just about to buy another pound of Karoun butter when someone behind me unpatiently mumbled: where is it? Where the heck is it? Oh, here! And a hand appeared above my head and briskly grabbed two blocks of butter. I turned around ready to snap, when I saw a local culinary celebrity shopping in a hurry. Curious what he was looking for, I checked on that butter again - it was Beurre d'Isigny. A brand I never tried before.
Of course I had to try it and now Karoun is a history
This cultured butter has buttercup color as a result of high levels of carotenoids and rich flavor has distinctive notes of hazelnut and milk and a slight tang.
I am buying their unsalted version named Isigny Sainte-Mère and I have to admit - it taste phenomenal! Of course it pairs the best with a good quality artisan bread which I am buying anyway, like baguette, croissants, or German rye. It would be wasted on white sandwich bread.
If that's too expensive, the next best choice would be the President Butter.
While you may not be able to taste the difference between regional butters (or maybe you can - who am I to assume anything about your butter-tasting palette), there is something that varies and distinguish one from another.
Do you like butter as much as I do? Have a favorite butter to use? So, what's your preferences?
I have been trying some different butters and frankly can't taste the difference. I have tried Finlandia and Vermont Creamery cultured butter. But then I don't usually eat it plain on bread or anything, it is usually melted by the time it gets to my mouth. I'm open to suggestions.
melted butter with lobsters is one the wonders of the world- it should be
loved butter on popcorn too
growing up real butter was bad bad bad margarine was said to be better for you....so half my friends had the shed spread bucket...lol
but now its back to butter is not so bad for you..
