Now... If you are wondering about the photo of Hugh Jackman included here let me explain... As Leopold in the movie "Kate & Leopold" Hugh Jackman's lines about butter have stuck with me since the first time I laid ears on them. "Fresh creamery butter. Is there anything more comforting?" The way he spoke these words, just made me crave BUTTER! I may never eat margarine again!!! If you have the time & have not yet seen the movie you may enjoy watching it.
