Sometimes something so simple as a beautifully made loaf of artisan bread can fill your heart with a sense of well being. When you add some European style butter to it, it becomes a short journey into Ecstasy! They cost about $4.50 each but can last long enough to make that a good value.
After seeing the movie The Julie/Julia Project and then reading both Julie Powell's book and the Julia Child's book My Life in France where there is an unbelievable amount of talk about butter I had to go in search of the perfect butter and the bread to go with it. I chose a locally made Seeded Rye bread that was still warm from the ovens and picked up the french butter President to spread on it. And while the french butter was delicious I feel that the Irish butter Kerry Gold has a lighter whip to it and can be better for breads and pastries.
