Day 93: Baking

I am grateful that I love baking.  I am grateful for baking.  Baking is a kind of therapy for me.  It calms me, soothes me, it makes me feel close to my fellow baking lovers.  I love baking things that I know will bring smiles to the faces of those who are going to partake.  I love baking because it is something I am good at that isn't so Type A. :)  It's nice to not be Type A every once in a while.  I will only bake when I am feeling the love for it.  If I am not feeling the love my recipes never turn out.  Today I am going to do a little baking and I can't wait.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
