I've started doing something during the last month that is so brilliant in it's
simplicity and practicality that I cannot BELIEVE it's taken me 48 years to think
of it (okay, make that 44 years -- I'll cut me a little slack for my toddler
years). I've started cutting sticks of butter into tablespoon portions as soon
as I open the wrapping. Then when I need it, I don't have to guess how much is a
tablespoon. Doh!

Aren't such epiphanies amazing? After we have them, they are so
obvious we wonder why it has taken so long. I do that frequently.

I leave it in the wrapper, in the butter dish. The markings are always
there.
