Butter.

Oh, storebought can be okay.  Well, not really.  I looked more closely at the ingredients on storebought butter.  I hadn't done that in a long while.  Either recipes have changed, or I wasn't as particular, knowledgeable, about food the last times I did that.

I was only able to find one brand of butter that didn't have... stuff in it.  From "natural flavors" to... really whack things.  My, to now, go to brands failed even more miserably.  And labeling?  They might as well quit labels.  You can't add sugar and have there be no carbs.  But, sugar in butter?  Yes, in some.

I have tried to make butter at home.  The problem is it always tasted really... funky.  Too funky.  That link explains... much.  I always worried that it had gone bad, that kind of funky.  I used fresh, raw, cream.  I did it, a few times, with devices such as blenders or food processors.  Though, too, I did it by hand, through a lot of mixing?  Or in a bottle, shaken?  Something.  I just remember that I did try less automated methods.  Same same.

Well, I had heard that keeping the cream cold, while processing it, was key.  So, I tried various ways of doing that.  Nada.  Same.  Today I went looking for a better answer, possibly a solution.  And?  Maybe.  I won't know until I try it.  I won't try it for a while, perhaps not until next month.  But... I will try it.  I don't want to have to make my own butter, but after looking at the storebought?  No.  I can't afford the brand that is good.

Oh, and I did try cultured butter, from the dairy.  But it too tasted... wrong.  Yea, you can't just make butter.  Washing it, it seems, is required.  We'll see, before long.  Worth a shot, to get away from all the additives and else.  The Lord only knows what all they put in that.

Strange how some CEO's know everything, and don't care... just eat it.  Then again, big tobacco leads were often smokers.  Not sure which group is worse, the ones who know, but eat it with the rest of us, or the ones who knows it's bad and don't touch food for us peasants?  I'm just not sure.  Later, or goodnight.
