I’d like to also say that everyone’s experience with suicide is different; my experience was different from Butter’s, and yours might be different than mine and more like Butter’s. That’s how suicide is; its very individual, with some recurring and similar themes across individuals who struggle with it. But overall, I’m unhappy with how this suicide tale went. I was expecting this book to be disturbing and heart-breaking and all around an incredible read, but it was a total letdown. He's also crushing on a girl from his school called Anna, but she'd never talk to him if she knew who he really was so he uses fake online identity called JP, claiming to be a boy from a nearby high school, and gets into an online relationship with her. But why would you want to? How does homemade butter differ from store-bought? Why you should make your own butter

Butter - James Martin Chef

All of a sudden, Butter finds himself popular amongst the "in" crowd at school. They go out of their way to let him know they support his "choice" and will do everything they can to help him make it happen. Along the way we meet people in Butter's life who really do care about him and find him rejecting all of them, for various reasons that become thinner and thinner as the story ploughs on. My favourite of these was his teacher, Professor Dunn. The Professor connects with Butter through their love of jazz and he reaches out to Butter several times through the story. Butter dismisses all those who show him kindness as "lame' because who would want to be seen with/be friends with a guy like him? Only losers. The main character, Butter, is a likable guy. Any reader, male or female, who has experienced adolescent insecurities in any form will want to reach out to him, to let him know that he is not alone. Deep down he really is a gentle soul with a heart of gold, one who has unfortunately been the victim of a narrow-minded and apathetic society.

The first thing to bother me regarding the diabetes research was that Butter, who plays saxophone and virtually only plays the blues, has never, ever, EVER heard of B.B King. Ever. The king of the blues just doesn't exist. Never mind that BB literally made ads to promote diabetes awareness and is basically the unofficial face of type 2 diabetes. Let's just ignore that BB King would go play shows on stage and sit the entire time--and I know this because I saw him do it. I was at the Indy Jazz Fest in like 2001, 2002, something like that, and I distinctly remember that he was sitting when the show started and he stayed sitting even when it ended. But in this book, apparently playing a musical instrument while sitting has never happened and is physically impossible. Obviously if you're overweight, well, you just can't play blues. No heroes for you, Butter.

You've got the ultimate larder”, he says. “Whether it's fruit, potatoes or seafood. I'm very jealous”. Butter is, at times, horrifying and, quite frankly, disgusting. (Seriously, the scene describing how Butter got his name made me want to never eat again.) But it also tells a hopeful, honest, beautiful story. There are scenes that'll break your heart, and there are scenes that'll put a smile on your face. It's not an easy book to read, but I highly recommend it. Heavy cream, whipping cream, or heavy whipping cream are all suitable choices for making homemade butter. Heavy cream, with the highest percentage of butterfat, will yield the most butter; lower-fat whipping cream will yield less.

Thankfully, I put aside any hasty negative assumptions and read up on homemade butter. As it turns out, it’s simple to make if you have a stand (or hand) mixer, a blender, or a food processor. Within about 10 minutes, you can turn cream into solid butter.

I was just that pathetic – that pitiful. Most people couldn’t bring themselves to be cruel to me . . . . at least, not anymore.” Elapsed time: This can vary a lot depending on the power of your mixer and whether it comes equipped with old-fashioned flat-blade beaters rather than whisk-type beaters. Flat-blade beaters will produce butter in as little as 6 to 8 minutes; using whisk-type beaters will extend that time to 10 to 12 minutes. I haven’t used this resource before, but I have used a region-specific suicide prevention resource before. It didn’t fix everything, but it got me started down the road to getting help. Taking that first step and fighting those thoughts and feelings is hard: take it from the human who struggles with suicidal thoughts and ideation almost daily. You can get help. Reaching out to friends and loved ones was helpful for me, but it turns out I needed more help; I’m seeing both a therapist and a psychiatrist now. I’m still self-conscious about it honestly. Am I better? Yes. Am I fixed? No. And that’s okay. As with all things, dealing with suicidal thoughts and ideation is a journey; no straight lines to recovery here. But it’s okay to need help. Just stay alive, beautiful being. Okay? Using your mixer's flat beater rather than its whisk will speed the butter-making process up considerably. Making butter in a stand mixer I'm not the best to judge, but I do think Erin Jade Lange handled the difficult topic of child obesity with great tact and grace. Her portrayal felt very honest and real, and I love how it never got preachy. There are so many ways this book could have preached about obesity or about bullying, but it doesn't - it just tells a story. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending - a little too happy for my taste - but in a way, I get it, because a darker, more pessimistic ending would have been really hard to take.

And honestly, I thought this book was fantastically written, except for a giant red flag, which I'll get to in a bit. The pace was fantastic, the humor on point, the characters very real. Lange does an amazing job with making you understand everything that Butter's going through, what teen drama is like, and honestly, what it's like being overweight. All of that is perfectly captured. So my attitude meant that Butter and I didn't connect right away - in the beginning, I'll admit I was a little grossed out by how much he eats and by how he insists that it's not his fault. But after a while, he grew on me. As the story progresses, we get to see behind the facade, to read about his insecurities and all his troubles, and those did make me feel for him. It was eye-opening to see how every single aspect of his life is affected by his weight. His character growth is tremendous, and towards the end, I really grew to love Butter. Butter is a great character; so much more than what he seems to be. I just wish we'd gotten to know some more about his past, about how he turned into this 400-pound kid. Butter is the most insufferable person I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading about. A subplot of the story is that he has a secret online identity in which he is speaking to Anna, a pretty, popular girl he goes to school with, but Anna doesn’t know who he is on accounts he’s been weaving a web of lies for months, feeding her the wrong name (J.P.) and manipulating her to believe he’s a star athlete at a private school thirty minutes away from the one they both actually attend. I’ll get onto the dangers of the internet and how this can negatively influence impressionable readers soon, but this action alone made my blood boil. This girl is trusting this boy and he doesn’t even have the decency to shed an ounce of truth. He continues to lie to her over and over, having her fall in love with a person who doesn’t exist and if there’s one thing I cannot stand, it’s dishonesty.
