The one problem with butter on the counter is nasty roommates... One of my roommates in college used butter, in a cute little metal cover, on top of the microwave, beside the toaster. I used margarine, in the fridge. Hers attracted maggots. LOTS of maggots. After how many times I cleaned up after her various other cooking messes, I left that one for her to discover all on her own... }:)
