Butter is Better....by Jessica


If you are a lover of wine, it's easy to find wine flights or tastings in this wine country land we live in. Fortunately, we also live in a "foodie" area which offers food tastings and pairings. I recently heard from my friend Jennifer that she stumbled across a cupcake tasting - much like a wine tasting but with little mini cupcakes. Now that's my kind of tasting flight.

I ran across an ad on Bite Club for butter tasting at The Butter Bar at Epicurean Connection. I can almost think of nothing more delectable and tempting sounding.

Speaking of butter, we've recently been on an air popped popcorn hit. Sounds healthy doesn't it? I wondered why it was so delicious and learned why when Zack told me he puts in a half cube of butter. HALF A CUBE!!!!

Butter is the best! I grew up in a butter-loving family (always butter your bread generously & don't leave any areas unbuttered - especially when making toast!) Cean says when I make popcorn it turns out better than when he makes it. Don't tell him it's because I use the same amount of butter as Zack!

That's nice of you to not tell Cean - I wish I could just eat the delicious popcorn without knowing!!!

Juliana - I was JUST thinking the same thing about a Chopped party. It would be such a blast. I need to find someone to befriend with a huge kitchen first ;)

I would love to butter taste!...but even more, I want to cupcake taste! Do you know what the place is called for the mini cupcakes?

Becky, I believe it was somewhere in Santa Barbara.
