Hi Carleen,

Butter under peanutbutter, YES, of course! Toast, butter and jam, YES, of course, butter everything, we make scrambled eggs with a little milk and Butter, Ha! Must all be European. We get some funny looks from the American, married into the family, kind!!

Last I checked, Kim, Dad’s a part of the family too

Actually, we’re a whopping 50% of it. So I’d say we fit in pretty well.

You seem to fit into our family better than Mike. We LOVE butter. You should see my mother- she loads up on it. Mike must follow after dad, who doesn’t put any butter on anything. He doesn’t even use salad dressing!!

You know I just realized that I have tried this. Every time we go to the Olive Garden, I use my bread sticks to clean up the salad dressing of my plate.

Add some garlic to the olive oil (and vinegar), and you’ll have a feast! Better still, throw in a pinch of basil or Italian seasoning.

Balsamic vinager on bread? I’ll try it but…skeptical. No affordable cheese? Not sure I could make it in Korea.

not at all! I’m the same way, at least when I’m outside of US. In order to comply with US customs, I put mustard on sandwiches in-country but whenever I head back to Norway I am back to using butter as the first layer on everything involving bread!

In Korea they have no cheese of any quality which fits into my budget here so I have switched to plain wheat bread+balsamic vinegar. Give it a try. Wonderful lunch. Just take some bread, dip into balsamic vinegar. It has become a classic lunch for me after my German roommate did it all year long. For real style, mix the vinegar with some decent olive oil.
