butterThere are very few things on this planet that I enjoy more than butter.  Mixing herbs, spices or jams right into it and serving a pretty log just makes it that much better.  This is one of those things that is so easy to do but makes it appear as if you’re really marthastewart-ish (<——– real word).  I’ve posted a few “recipes” below the video for your flavored-butter-making pleasure.

Note:  The video below was embedded, but wordpress apparently doesn’t like this particular video, because it kept disappearing from the post.  So, my apologies, but this link to the video will have to do until their tech department gets back to me.
