Ärende: cutting up
==================
-> -> As long as you can combine it with other errands. Are there pharmacy
-> -> branches where you grocery shop?
-> 
->  RH> There's an indie just up the street, and a Walgreen's I'm not fond 
of.
->  RH>  The CVS I normally use is in the center of my town. My usual
->  RH> supermarket is in the next town over. The supermarket doesn't have 
one
->  RH> any more.
-> 
-> We don't use the pharmacy where we get some of our staples and Lowe's
-> doesn't have one. It's most convenient for us to use the CVS or mail
-> order, depending on what the perscription is for.

I do the same thing.  The more times I go into the local Walgreens the more 
I can't stand the place.  

-> ->  RH> It worked.  People did it.  I do some things that way myself.
-> 
-> -> I usually set a timer--just to be on the safe side.
-> 
->  RH> Me too, but sometimes the recipe times don't match my oven.
-> 
-> Usually the nose will let you know if there's a discrepency there.

Or the smoke alarm!
 
-> -> Since we moved up here I've been doing a blend of 1/3 cup olive oil
to
-> -> every 1/2 cup of butter. Saves buying both the soft stuff for table 
use
-> -> and regular butter for baking; I just buy both salted and unsalted
-> -> butter now.
-> 
->  RH> Good idea. I like butter better, and softening it up with the olive
->  RH> oil makes sense.  It has to taste better than margarine too.
-> 
-> We found that using the unsalted butter, it tasted on the bland side.
-> Whatever amount of salt that gets added to the butter when it's made,
-> made a big difference in taste. Depending on how much olive oil you use,

If you're eating it yes.  Baking recipes usually call for the unsalted.  I 
use the salted stuff in things like shortbread because it makes them taste 
better.

-> this will soften up rather fast when you take it out of the fridge. It
-> doesn't separate but does get quite soft. For a while I poured it into
-> an old soft margerine tub we had but a while back I started using glass
-> containers with a plastic lid. I'm staying with them now. One note--the
-> olive oil you use may make a taste difference so you may want to try
-> several before deciding if it's something you want to keep up with or
-> not.

That's understandable.  It has to be good olive oil; the cheap stuff will 
taste cheap no matter what.
