Too many good ones mushed together here!
Thanks for the Earworm of the Day!

But the Lego one is incorrect – where is the big highlight for the arch? Every tiny, pointy Lego EVER knows how to get you in the SOFTEST spot.

I feel like this would be an excellent in person game as we use a wall to provide the continuum and we can stick any mascots where we think they’d go.
There would be some enjoyable drunk debates, I think.
I’m up for enjoyable drunken debates.
Butter: twelve sticks in the freezer, one in the dish on the counter at all times.
I have WAY more than 12 in the freezer(s). But I have the luxury of an apt fridge/freezer and a chest freezer in the garage. I just checked my Excel list:
8 lbs of LOL (32 sticks)
6 1/2-lb blocks of Kerry Gold (12 “sticks”)
1 1/2-lb block of Finlandia butter (2 “sticks”)
- Ummm…
Talk about TPSTOB
you’re my hero.
I don’t think there’s anything proverbial about it. Literal, perhaps!
Used very judiciously now!
The LOL is from buying two 3 lb packs at BJs Wholesale Club before Christmas to use in baking…which never got done. It’ll keep until I bring it upstairs to be used.
Sometimes having the extra freezer space is NOT a good thing…because I fill it up!
I’m down to 3 pounds of Plugra (plus 1/2 pound unsalted) and 2 of Tillamook, so I guess that’s 22 stick equivalents. Not frozen, though, just in the downstairs fridge because the s/b dates are always farther out than our usage (girls bake a lot).
I think it’s been years since I bought butter that wasn’t a half-price deal. Certainly before pandemic prices drove me to making my own butter (but then about 6 mos later cream prices had risen similarly, so I quit).
We’re not too picky(*) so I just overload on anything half price, and that gets us through to the next sales cycle.
(*) Except we do prefer the 82% over the 75 (or whatever 11g fat per Tbs is). So I dont get Aldi or other store brands, and also there’s a brand called Vital Farms that claims over 80% but it pops a lot in a skillet like it’s half water. Maybe I just got a bad lot, but I don’t buy it anymore.
Do people refrigerate their butter? I don’t.
Luckily those with high arches don’t suffer the Lego bites as bad.
I agree! It seems that everytime I purge the freezer in the garage (almost as big as the refer/freezer in the kitchen) it fills up in a week. Current count: 3# of Kirkland salted butter,1# of Kirkland unsalted, 1/2# each Kerry salted and unsalted, 1/2 # each Plugra salted and unsalted. Christmas baking didn’t get off the ground this past season. It is a good thing it keeps well in the freezer. Like everything else in there.
