Scenario 1: If you've ever been in a restaurant where they serve maple butter or strawberry butter, (usually with bread as a filler while you wait for your food), you realize that as good as the goodest butter is, there is one better than the goodest.
Scenario 2: In going through my Stash of Stuff, I found some rose petals powder. I suppose it was some impulse beauty buy as an "essential" ingredient in some must-make DIY beauty product, which I had yet to make.
Scenario 3: Before I went online to ask all the Internet Girls what I should do with this stuff, I decided to first read the package. You can add it to water as a drink(that did NOT work), or mix it with other shit to make a paste, that you slather on your face, sit and do nothing, then rinse it down the drain.
Scenario 4: I want to make butter with this! My first version was too heavy on the honey, my second version not enough. Naturally I combined the two. It's good, but I will keep on experimenting (I have a lot of this powder left!) I can try maple syrup instead, and also do a halvsies with butter and cream cheese.
When I get it right, and make the lightest of biscuits, and combine the two, I will call down from heaven and let you know.

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!

Happy garden with all the heat, humidity, and occasional rain.
I made a yummy zucchini chocolate bread for my sister's visit. Going to air fry some of what I just picked.
