Do you avoid eating butter?

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15395) • United States 9 Feb 11

Do you not put any butter on bread because butter is fat? I think butter just goes so good with bread, it feels like missing something if eating bread without butter. I know it is not good for us if eating too much butter but......

jtr115 I do enjoy butter on my bread from time to time. I've had to cut back a bit because I'm on a diet. Occasionally, I will put honey on my bread instead of butter since it has fewer calories and no fat. Sometimes using both honey and butter is a great treat.

Will the Blacks be back?

XanderDDS @XanderDDS (62) • United States 20 Sep 09

As a big fan of the show 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' I enjoyed the supporting cast in the last season that included a family of hurricane-survivors living with Larry. Their family name was Black. They often provided a lot of playful...
