Spreading butter {some rules you should follow}

Now, before we get started,

let me just say that

yes, I do realize this is totally petty.

However, it still bothers me...

I went to get the butter spread this morning...

nothing out of the ordinary.

but when I opened up the lid,

this is what I saw.

I like to call this

"The Country Crock Massacre"

In case you're missing what I'm talking about,

I thought I'd include a more detailed picture

lets call this exhibit A

Really? Is all this necessary?

I mean, what did the butter ever do to you?

So, what I've decided to do

is present some rules for spreading butter

a butter etiquette, if you will.

First things first: under no circumstance should the knife be stabbed directly into the spread

it is butter, not a knife holder

Second, crumbs are a no no.

really, it's not that hard to keep them out.

Third, all scraping should be done in a circular motion as to not disrupt the 'flow' of the butter.

{highly important}

And last, do not leave butter residue from the knife on the side of the container

someones finger {ahem, mine} will always end up covered in butter.

See, only 4 easy steps to follow

to ensure a most enjoyable butter spreading experience.

you're welcome!

Happy spreading!
