My friend's husband would eat spaghetti sandwiches before he went out on
long runs. Some people still like to carb load. My grandpa ate mashed
potato sandwiches.

Ever had a spaghetti taco? Quite good actually.

But these days those are pretty common in this country. I remember when you
couldn't get them here in WA. Then I remember when I first bought them.
Every person I fed them to disliked them.

Very clever. Buttering corn is a bothersome mess.

A good way to butter corn for a lot of people is to use a tall
saucepan. Add water and butter and heat. The butter floats to the
surface. Dip the corn and the last layer it sees before coming free
is the butter. Works very well if your doing lots of corn.

I no longer have them because we rarely eat corn on the cob. But I used to
have some plastic corn servers that were shaped to fit the corn. You simply
put the butter in it, laid the corn down across it, with the little pokey
things in the ends to hold it and then turned the corn around and around.
The hot corn would melt the butter.

I'm always trying to reinvent the wheel, and discover different ways to do
things.

Well, buttering corn was never a problem for me.

Personally, I'm fine with the wheel and the old snap mousetraps.

It's never a mess for me. I use very little, and some black pepper.

Bread and butter for breakfast, of course.
Bread with sauces, yes.

At our favorite pasta place, we feast on bread and butter dipped in olive
oil and peppers. This place is only open in summer at lake Erie, by an
Italian who lives in Florida in the winter. He is the only cook, and he
only serves for 4-5 hours. Best I ever ate in a restaurant. Cooking is done
in the dinning room. Secret salad dressing, excellent. Salad, pure lettuce,
iceberg.

Bread with sauce is delicious.

Olive oil is great. I just worry about the calories.
