The French Butter Dish

I know for myself, I tend to eat a lotta butter on the Atkins diet. If I wanted soft butter on the spot, i'd have to microwave what I needed.  It usually ends up getting runny and that's not what you normally want to happen.  I invested (23.95 plus shipping) in a french style butter dish.  You can put 1-2 sticks of butter into it and it sits in water, so it stays fresh, room temp - soft!  The water makes contact with the butter and it creates a seal so that the oxygen doesn't get to it.  What cool about ordering it from the individual that I did, is that each dish is unique, no 2 are the same.  I thought about looking for a cheaper one, but with his, he adds a hole on the side of the cone that holds the butter so it has more contact with the water (better freshness).  Plus, i think it's great when you can support an individual instead of a corporation.  Here's the link to his site: http://www.frenchbutterdish.com/index.php

George Stella - a must read!

I came across the name of a man (on the atkins FB page) who lost a ton of weight doing a low carb diet.  George Stella!  I decided to google the name and see what came up.  He has a website and is an advocate for low carb eating.  He's kept it off for 5 years!  He has 4 published cook books that you can buy on amazon.  I bought 2 today and I think that both his and his famlies before and after pics he has posted on his website (at this link: http://stellastyle.com/newPM/cgi/pm.cgi?action=show&temp=story&session=session ) are awesome.  If you haven't made the step to go low carb yet, this may be the motivation and proof you need.
