Crumbs in the Butter
How does one keep crumbs out of the butter dish? This was our topic of conversation last night while munching on cornbread. Our eight-year old just cannot get the hang of it. (Never mind our five-year old.) Possible suggestions included:
Get a clean knife every time you need more butter.
Swipe the knife in one stroke and don’t go back for more butter.
Lick the knife clean before re-inserting into the butter dish.
Use a spoon.
Don’t use butter.
The night before that, it was how to pour BBQ sauce without dripping all over the side and edges of the bottle. This included a detailed description and demonstration by dear hubby, which was followed up by our eleven-year old wiping the bottle with a clean napkin.
More on table cleanliness another day…
