Butter gnome

I'm convinced there is a butter gnome that steals all of my butter. A little before Thanksgiving, Kroger had a sale on Land o'Lakes butter. I bought 7 pounds. 7 pounds of butter is a lot. It should last a normal person a very long time. I'm down to 3 pounds. So the butter gnomes have eaten 4 pounds of butter in just over two months. Fat little gnomes. Since I have the plague, I haven't baked as much this holiday as I would have liked. But that's probably a good thing. If I had baked more, I may be out of butter by now, and that would be wrong.

Edit: Make that 2.5 pounds of butter. Chocolate Cherry Pinwheel cookies post coming soon.
