Because books.
We keep butter out.
We do, too, actually, except in the summer. But I've always thought the butter bells looked cool, and I looked into them for my mom, who freaks if the butter or the milk is out for more than two minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My parents not only refuse to eat the butter I leave out, they refrigerate it. So very annoying. I only leave out a little at a time and finish it quickly.
Graham Norton can interview just about anyone and make it fun. I don't care whether I've heard of his guests or not. Unlike Jonathan Ross. But Ross gets Denzel and Walken.
Still, next week Norton gets David Tennant. That will be fun for sure.

Even though my nutritionist friend says margerine is full of the evil transfats.
There are some that don't have trans fats. I don't know what mystical mojo is worked upon Smart Balance to make it have no trans fats, but it claims to have none. That's my default margarine.

Syrup in my world is either maple or golden.
Grew up with Roger's Golden as our staple syrup. Whee.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My usual margarine is Earth Balance.

My dad was a firm believer in always having a gallon of maple syrup in the freezer and made sure we were properly stocked at the end of each summer. I do miss that.

My sister keeps her butter in a bell I keep a stick in a butter dish on the counter. We grew up on margarine but switched to butter (independently) for the perceived natural healthiness. I'm not sure I could tell the difference by blind taste, honestly. My parents don't eat butter or margarine anymore, but they keep some butter in the freezer for when my sister visits, so I'm thinking she has more of a taste for it.
I've never been in the habit of putting syrup on anything, but when I do I go for maple grade B

What is even happening?
No House of Representatives Watch-n-Post on the Healthcare Bill? Who are you people and what have you done with my Buffistas. We just got 218 votes (including one brave, Republican soul). Hooray! Oh, it's 219, now. 220. I'll watch and post by myself, I will.
