I must read labels once in awhile. It's a wonder I am not dead. I've had an opened bottle of worchestershire in my cabinet for over a year. I just used it last week...and I am still here. Go figure!

Recently a friend of mine was shocked to hear we used Worcestershire sauce and not "steak sauce", lol.

I was so impressed with leaving butter out that today when I went to an antique/collectibles mall, I found me a right funky little butter dish from the 70s. It's white with green daisies on the cover. (I think watchin' some "Mary Tyler Moore Show"s last weekend heightened my nostalgia, lol). It was 8 bucks, and now it's mine. I can't wait to go home and put my butter in it! <---official Butter Geek
