My second favorite way to have pork, after a BLT:

Melt a stick of butter, put some herbs in it. Split a loaf of Italian bread lengthwise, put it cut side up in a baking dish.

The characters Dax and Ron from the series Letterkenny, standing in front of a blue background. Dax, on the left, is wearing very short white shorts and a red t-shirt with the sleeves missing and slits up both sides, showing a lot of his torso, standing with one leg on a bench exposing his groin prominently and his hand on his raised knee; Ron is in a roughly mirrored pose, with his shirt yellow.

I spent the morning listening to the Sunday Morning Polka Show and making homemade cultured butter, and I’ve turned into my grandmother.
On a light brown kitchen counter, on the left an 8oz deli container, on the right the top of a blue ceramic butter keeper, both full of homemade cultured butter. Two halves of a toasted sourdough baguette spread with butter and sprinkled with smoked sea salt, on a white ceramic small plate on a light brown countertop. In the rear, a blue ceramic butter keeper.
