What would you do with the Butter Cow?

[rob62521]

OK, this is just for fun...every year at the Illinois State Fair they have someone who takes loads of butter and creates a butter cow -- the size of a real cow. Since we are all frugal folks and like to use what we have, what would you do if you were given the butter cow after the fair? I assume the butter is clean, just sculpted. Throughout the fair it has been kept in a cold place on display behind glass.

Chop it up and freeze it. Give some away.

I think Paula Deen or Emeril could certainly make short work of all that butter! If you've watched them cook, they use a lot of it.

I would give all the cooking oils away and use butter for cooking. That looks like a lot of butter, but that would be gone within a year.

Clarify it - make it into ghee and put it in my canning jars and store it in the basement pantry!

Re: What would you do with the Butter Cow?

I currently have more than 60 lbs of butter in my freezer. I bought a lot because I had coupons, buy 2 lbs of butter, get any sara lee bread free. So 2 lbs cost me almost $1, and the bread and the bread with raisings in it, that normly costs like $3, was free. I want to free- up some space in my freezer for upcomming turkey season, when it will be like 25 c /lb. I use butter everywhere I would normally use veg.oil or any other kind of fat.
