Why not throw the hard butter into the mixer, maybe cube it first. The energy required to pulverize it should turn to heat and melt it up a bit.

that is what I do with the frozen butter, since I don’t leave much in the fridge.

He usually had about 30 people in the wings to keep him safe. Sorry about your finger it makes me wince just thinking about it. I remember Hershey from when I was a kid in the 1970's. Tons of fun. I can't imagine living in a town that just smells of chocolate! Enjoy the rest of your trip. Kids and vacations aren't they great?! Wait until they are teenagers---It is a VERY Different ball game. Our son is now driving and I have to let the whole family know of my plans for the day and MY CAR! Mcgyver had TONS of help! He usually had about 30 people in the wings to keep him safe.

Why do we always seem to hurt ourselves when we are taking shortcuts? I'll pull at those plastic strings on clothes, you know the ones that hold the price tags on. Instead of getting up and using a pair of scissors I will pull with my teeth. DUH, not smart, huh? OUCH. Why do we always seem to hurt ourselves when we are taking shortcuts?

I used to, but it broke six years ago and I never replaced it. <br/><br/>I often soften butter beside the stove while stuff is cooking. The only problem is that the side of the butter facing the stove is melted, while the other side is still hard. So we go for the middle, and destroy the stick in the process!<br/><br/><i>Visit <a HREF="http://tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">To Love, Honor and Vacuum</a> today!</i> I never wear a watch.
