Butter candles

 I'm not on TikTok for good reason.  But sometimes TikTok trends show up for the old people on Facebook, and that's what leads me to this even older people medium of a blog.

(Side note- I was talking to a much younger teacher about an outdated technology chapter of a book we were looking at, and I said something about how it used the phrase "Surf the web" and was explaining how to write a fax.  She was like, "Yeah, and writing a blog!  Who does that?"  And I was like, "Yeah! Who does that?!")

Anyway, butter candles- TikTok trend.  So, I saw a video on Facebook.  They were making a herb-encrusted butter candle.  Basically, they just rolled a stick of butter in an everything bagel mix and stuck a wick into it.  My first thought was, "Well, that's a waste of butter!  Why would you ..." Just about that time, I saw them dip a chunk of bread into the butter, and I realized my mistake in hasty judgment.  Mmmm, butter candle.

I decided long ago that life was too short to not use real butter.

Additionally, if you don't use your butter fast enough to leave it out of the refrigerator (so that it is soft enough to spread) you aren't eating enough butter.
