It's always a problem to make people cut into it. If I make it for a meal at my own home, I don't put out any other butter, so they have no choice. When I take it to parties elsewhere, I always have to be the one to slaughter it. But sometimes the hosts want to "keep" it (not sure for what or for how long), so it doesn't get used at Easter meal.

Unlike the English London from which it got its name, our local London has two branches of a Thames River that meet near downtown, so we have developed several riverside parks. When I was young, growing up near local London, some Canada Geese were seasonal residents, and some still are, but with recent global warming, which is happening much more rapidly in northern areas than generally in the world, many have chosen to live in and near our parks year-round, and have developed for themselves varying levels of reputation among many of the other two-legged users of the parks, many of whom, lacking wings, can't fly (except in winged, motorized cans). Haven't heard of any efforts having been made to offer a system to encourage them to deposit no longer wanted excess body weight in small designated areas when their internal body communications system indicates a need, along the line of the outhouses that humans developed to meet such bodily needs in earlier generations. Quite likely due to the certainty of persons in charge that almost earth-shaking incentives would be required, mainly in terms of offering feed, which would substantially defeat the original purpose ... plus that goose communication systems would probably attract most geese within about 100 miles. ole joyful

One of my fav pictures, taken at Heathrow. I’ve shared it before, but its just right for K.

A "flying pig". There was a contest years ago and these large pigs in different conformations were made and then painted. I don't remember the winning pig but all the pigs were then auctioned off and some ended up on public property while others ended up in private hands. They are still fun to see around town from time to time.
