    Default Right Place Right Time

    Just got back from the bank, had to drop a check in the night depo. Coming down the road (a 2 laner) there in the road was a busted box of butter! 30 packages of 1# of salted butter! Main box had busted open on the road but indivdual boxes were fine except for the few that had already been run over. Thank goodness I travel with a cooler in the back of my van. Out into traffic I poped and into my freezer has gone 30#s of butter! They hadn't been there very long because I had just passed over the stretch of road going to the bank. The ultimate "It fell off the truck!"

    Oh my gosh! That's something else! I just told my Dh, and he said "I'd like to find 30# of cash." . Way to go on that lucky find.

    Wow, you were in the right place at the right time . All that butter will make for some great meals. I am getting a mental picture of a big ole smile on Paula Deen's face at the thought of 30 pounds of butter. She loves to cook with butter, she is such a hoot, I just love her.
