    The main reason for using butter or another spread on sandwiches is actually to keep the bread soft and fresh for eating later. Technically if a sandwich is to be eaten immediately then butter is not necessary. For myself if I am making a peanut butter sandwich I don't use butter at all, or for a salad sandwich I use a good mayo instead.

    (OT Oooh Astrid is that a new ticker? i didn't realise you were so far along! nice cool weather next week, more comfy for very preggy girls!)

    Technically speaking I know when you use peanut butter you shouldn't need butter.... but oh i doooo! I don't just use butter to 'moisten' i actually love the flavour itself. Fresh pasta tossed in butter was my student staple (couldn't afford olive oil) I just love buttery dishes.

    Yep new ticker, 99.9% weaned so it was time to change, plus I was forgetting how many weeks I am.

    Back on topic, I do love butter, but I do try and be careful with it and save for the things that really need it (eg corn cobs, crumpets etc). DD loves the stuff, if I have the block out she always wants a slice of it.
