The Butter Cutter Story!

Ah the 'butter cutter". The story goes like this.  My granddaughter had a friend over and I served them toast with the butter on the side. They each had a little silver butter dish with their own butter knife.  The friend asked what was all this.  She had never seen a butter dish or a butter knife. I explained what it was and told her it was because "we live in a very fancy house"! Days later it occurred to me that maybe my granddaughter might not realize all the "special" kitchen gadgets we have that other people don't know about.  Thus the "butter cutter" (which I use weekly to slice our "stick" of butter into individual pats)! The next time I used it I asked her if she knew what it was.  She said it was a cheese slicer (close but no cigar [any body know where that phrase comes from? ]). We do have a cheese slicer so I got it out and showed her the difference.  Explaining that we have a lot of unusual kitchen gadgets (because we live in a very "fancy" house)!
