Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My grocery store always seems to have salted and un of each brand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Butter's about evenly available salted or unsalted where I shop. Each brand seems to have both.

I like sweet potatoes just roasted or baked like white potatoes -- with butter and salt.

Me, too, but I can't bring myself to eat the skins, while I love the skin part of Russets.

I have no trouble finding unsalted butter, but I'm already in the organic section before I even start to look, so I don't know if that's generally the case around here.

Evenly available at Safeway in Md. Interestingly, local foodie radio chefs did a taste test, and not counting the fancy irish stuff, they loved the lucerne unsalted over a lot of other stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I've never really looked for unsalted, but wouldn't have thought there was actually as much of it.

I remember when Land of Lakes was the only brand that sold unsalted because my sister didn't want me to buy the brand with the Native American logo, but no way in hell was I eating salted. Now I can get own brand unsalted.

Y'all should come to Jamaica and eat sweet potato and our range of yams. Whole different world. We don't have either of what you call yam or sweet potato.

Unsalted is incredibly good. You focus on the butter flavor. Love it on fresh bread.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why would I want unsalted or salted butter? I usually get unsalted, since I don't have a salt tooth.

I do have such a sweet tooth, I demolished the sweet potato casserole at TX in addition to sweet potato pie. I love sweet potatoes! It's like dessert for dinner!

Speaking of sweet, just made pasta with caramelized onions, anchovies and bread crumbs. It was freaking delish.

So I email brother and SIL with an idea for my mom and brother gets it but I get to tell SIL he did. And they live in the same house. Sheesh. Family.

I'm in. Never met a root vegetable I didn't like.

I started buying unsalted for baking and then decided I prefer the taste in general. Sweet creamery butter, yum.
