The Moffat family series of children's books are set in Cranbury,
Connecticut. They are some of my favorite children's literature.
There are many food references, too. The children grow a victory
garden. The middle child, Jane, longs for the chance to show off her
nice dinner manners. The mother has to mix a package of yellow food
coloring into their white margarine.

That's not so very long ago :) My mother recalls mixing in yellow dye to
make margarine look like butter during WWII. Also, yellow margarine came
under some very strict laws. Dairy farmers felt they were being squeezed
out so additional taxes and the requirement NOT to dye margarine yellow was
imposed as early as before the turn of the 20th century:

I have never liked margarine as a substitute for butter on bread, biscuits
or muffins, but I prefer to butter it for grilled cheese and with Frank's
hot sauce for Buffalo wings.

It is way before my time but of course I've read of it. In fact think
I've read that some states still have laws about the use of dyes in
margarine, but I forget if it is to ban them or require them so as to
make sure they were NOT mistaken for real butter? I dunno....?

margarine era) has been around for longer than we can say we've lived in.
My mother never served butter except on holidays. It was always butter at
Thanksgiving and Christmas. But otherwise she grew up with margarine as the
*thing*. At that time, margarine was less expensive. Now, it costs about
the same. I don't understand not using butter. However, her doctor did say
that using Benecol and similar products reduced her cholesterol
significantlyl. So, since she had already had surgery to unblock
cholesterol in the veins in her legs (which prevented her from losing her
foot), I have no problem using a butter substitute. I don't notice an
appreciable difference, but then I don't eat a lot of butter.
I don't butter most summer vegetables. I'm perfectly happy with yellow
squash, green beans, zucchini, lima beans, brussels sprouts, cabbage,
broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus spears, etc. without a drop of butter. A
baked potato would be one thing that belies that fact. Must have butter and
salt on potatoes. And sweet potatoes. Also butter in acorn and other
winter squash. But I'm not going to die if I don't have butter on them.
These vegetables glaze nicely and don't require butter.

I haven't made hot wings in years, but when I did I broiled them. I used
butter. And cayenne pepper. And Tabasco. No deep frying. Broiling on a
cast iron griddle.
Grilled cheese, I don't care if it's butter or not. It's toasted bread in a
skillet with sliced cheese. Not haute cuisine. And if the biscuits are
nice and soft and fluffy they don't require butter (or a substitute) at all!

I'd love to know where you shop -- butter is $2-$5 per pound here,
while most margarines are still under a dollar...

My mother tried to economize by using margarine once in a while, but my
father wouldn't have anything to do with it. He was a country boy and had
been raised with lots of freshly churned butter. There was no fooling him.
My mother never liked butter and never used it herself. She never fried
things in butter, never used butter on bread or other baked goods and never
put it on vegetables. My wife loves butter. She uses huge hunks of it on
biscuits and on vegetables. She doesn't eat bread, but she probably uses at
least ten times as much butter as I do.

I just can't bring myself to use margarine instead of butter. If there is
margarine instead of butter I just to without.

Me too.... with the exception of asparagus. Butter and salt in a must.

I shop at Schnuck's. It's a regional grocery store. Unless you're in the
Southern Illinois, Metro Missouri/ Mid-South area you've probably never seen
one.
Butter is the equivalent price to $2.99 per pound for margarine. Wasn't too
long ago there was a complaint about the price of butter on rfc. The price
of margarine went up exponentially. Seems if they can charge more for
butter, they also do so for margarine. Makes sense, from a marketing point
of view.
I buy butter when it's on sale and stock up. It freezes well. I don't cook
with margarine.

HA! One of the reasons we moved away from there (seriously)--even though it
was considered to be the "3rd-best place to live in the U.S." (or something
like that -- http://tinyurl.com/yr5pqd).
Of course, then moving up to The Woodlands, TX, wasn't much better (in that
respect), but at least it was a beautiful place to live and a nice place to
raise a family. We finally moved back to the northeast to be near our
families and have been pretty happy here.

I would prefer to eat sweet, unsalted butter all the time, but for
cholesterol and trans-fat reasons we opt for a margarine. We don't like
the highly touted brands like Benecol (sp), as they seem waxy, don't melt
well, and are too pricey for something I don't even like.
We have found a Canadian brand called Canola Harvest which has very good
flavor and texture, melts well, and is reasonably priced. It has 0 trans
fats and is cholesterol free. I use it primarily in cooking, on
vegetables, etc.
We still eat real butter on occasion. I cannot eat really good bread
without real butter. <sigh>

Ahh, Wayne. I'm just the opposite. Years ago I stopped liking butter
(really good butter, as well) on good bread. I prefer it without butter
'everytime'! I don't even butter toast anymore - I know it's been 20-30
years.
It doesn't do any good to think of all the calories I've missed, because I
know that I made up for them by eating my share of other fats. It'll all

I don't know which I like best, the butter or the bread. :-)
I rarely butter toast, but I do like a spot of jam or preserves. I dislike
jelly (no texture).

I don't eat enough butter to worry about trans fats. A pound of butter
lasts me 2 months, if not longer. I haven't deep fried anything in years so
I'm not worried about that. I use a lot of olive oil for pan-frying
seafood. I'm gonna die, but at least I'll die happy knowing I wasn't eating
crappy margarine on my toast ;)

But that's so minor. We go through a pound of butter a week. We saute in
it, we use it on veggies, it's a staple in this house. My cholesterol is
fine. I guess it partly depends on genes. But, until anything changes, you
won't find margarine in this house. I gotta have my butter! :~)

Definitely I know I'm going to die; I got a wake-up call when the grim
reaper gave me a hint when I got cancer; as a result, there are certain
foods that I do stay away from. Other foods I do eat that forever-well
people would never eat.
I don't deep fry either. Bought a deep fryer in the last year or so; never
used and gave it new to the thrift shop. Not because I was 'afraid' to eat
deep fry, it's just that I thought I'd might try it, but never did, and
found out that I wasn't interested.
Everything I eat does not center around whether it's good for me -- there
are only a few things I do stay away from if I feel that it is not good for
me, or I darned well don't like it.

Ah, caladiums... I once lived in a high-rise building that had continuous
windows running across a 20 foot wall. The windows had a deep sill and I
lined the whole thing with caladiums. 'twas very pretty.

Heh. DH is from a town near Cheesequake, NJ. When he was in elementary
school, the area experienced an earthquake. At school that day, the music
teacher taught them all a song that she made up that included the lyrics
"There was an earthquake...in Cheesequake...the other day..."
So, now, whenever we drive through that area and pass the exit for
Cheesequake, we both break out into song.
Yes, I married a man who's as silly as I am. ;)

I admit, I like Imperial margarine in cubes (or sticks for you folks
further east), not the soft stuff. That's what Mom always used,
because we couldn't affort butter. I stopped buying it, because of the
trans-fat issue -- it might turn out to be hype, but I figure it's
an easy change to make. We mostly pan-fry in olive oil, but we use
butter too. And I especially like some on my popcorn... :-)

I just consulted the RFC official nutritionist (Cindy Fuller) who is
sitting on the other side of the room from me. She agrees that the
transfat in butter is a good kind: conjugated linoleic acid.
But if you drop butter on the floor and let it sit around for too long,
it turns into linoleum... ;-)

Butter is always better than margarine.
Butter tastes so much better than margarine. Margarine stinks like human
kakaa!
I love butter and cream. In fact, I'd much rather use butter/cream than
those stinky hydrogenated-veggie oil products they sell at the store.
Piece of advice: do NOT eat krispy-creme doughnuts. They have no cream
or butter in them at all. They use kakaa-stinky vegetable oil in their
doughnuts, then they deep-fry them in the oil!!!! Talk about disgusting.
Most importantly, they are grossly over-priced!!!!!!!!!!
I once entered krispy creme shop and the odor of the hydrogenated
vegetable oil made me puke.
WTF do these desserts/sweets factories have to use veggie oil?? Why
don't they just use butter and cream in their products instead?? Sure it
is more expensive but who cares? Its much better than the stink of
margarine and the diarrhea that following the comsumption of margarine.
I hate non-dairy whipped toppings. They stink badly! Boycott them!!!!!!!
Hydrogenated vegetable oils cause fates much worse than MIs or anginae.
I use butter on everything. For all meals. In the morning I drink coffee
with heavy cream instead of milk.
Food would be totally unappetizing without butter/cream.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil + sugar = human kakaa
My favorite dairy product is "sweet" [i.e. unsalted and non-soured],
annato-free, purely-natural, completely-organic butter/cream made from
the milk of healthy cows.
Whenever I buy any desserts/sweets, I check the ingredients. If there is
any oil, then good-bye. Sweets/desserts must have butter/cream and must
not have any vegetable oil -- hydrogenated or not.
I notice that the bakery in one of the local stores I visit uses
non-diary whipped topping in their so-called "cream puffs". These puffs
are free of any diary cream and therefore they stink like human kakaa.
Its time to toss all non-dairy butter/cream substitutes into the dumpster.
Non-dairy substitutes for butter/cream have the following characteristics:
1. Stink like thick human diarrhea kakaa foam
2. Cause silent-but-deadly wet farts
3. Cause the consumer's kakaa and farts to be unusually-malodorous
4. Cause thick foamy diarrhea in humans
5. Cause the consumer to unintentionally do stinky foamy diarrhea kakaa
in his/her pants when [s]he attempts to fart

In Italy there's a whole lot of town names like that:
Filetto (fillet)
Acqua (water)
Mirto (myrtle)
Crema (custard)
Gallo (cock)
Carpe (carps)
Riccione (a quality of salad)
Limone (lemon)
Noci (walnuts)
Ossi (bones)
Girasole (sunflower)
Mele (apples)
And a ton of town names which have been applied to local products, as
Gorgonzola, Marsala, Alcamo, Gradoli, Parma and reggio Emilia, Felino...

We mostly pan-fry in olive oil, too; but sometimes we combine oo and butter,
depending on what we are pan-frying.
I eat popcorn seldom, but when I do, I sometimes use a combination of melted
butter and coconut oil; they say that it is the coconut oil that makes it so
good/different in the theatre.

I've never tried it -- do you use equal parts or more of one than the
other. I know it's supposed to be bad for you, but given how rarely I
eat popcorn, I'm not too worried...

By the eye -- equally, but not rigidly so - a little scoop of butter, a
little scoop of coconut oil (if it is a little cool) or eyeball both.
Depending on your microwave, put it in to melt for about 20 seconds, (put a
lid over it or the oil will go flying all over).
I guess since it's now liquid, you could add a flavor ... what might that
be? Chives, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, any dried spice in the
cubbard (cupboard) ; don't know what might be good.
Pour it over popcorn. To me, the flavor is just a little better with both.
On popcorn, tho good, 100% butter is just a little too "buttery" for me

Does a flavour count? I was raised in a place called "Sweet Home." Not

Thanks for the info, I'll have to find some coconut oil and give this
a try. The flavors are a good idea too. One combo I like is melter
butter, chili powder, and garlic powder. My grandfather taught me that
one, very yummy... :-)

That I did. He taught Sibling and I to appreciate a good steak,

his cooking, and his loving personality...

They smell like that here, too, when you drive by. I can't believe people
