How did I get this recipe?
I have a strong memory of the first time I saw this recipe for Butter Buds Mayo. It was back in the summer of 1965, when I was just a young girl living in a small town in the Midwest. My family didn't have much money, so we had to get creative with our meals. My mother was always trying out new recipes she would hear about from friends or read in magazines.
One day, a neighbor of ours, Mrs. Henderson, invited us over for a barbecue. She was known for her delicious cooking and everyone in the neighborhood always looked forward to her gatherings. As we sat around the picnic table, enjoying the warm summer evening, Mrs. Henderson brought out a bowl of what she called "Butter Buds Mayo." It was a creamy, tangy sauce that she had made to go with the grilled chicken.
I had never tasted anything like it before. It was the perfect combination of rich buttery flavor and zesty mayonnaise. I asked Mrs. Henderson for the recipe, and she happily shared it with me. She explained that she had learned it from a friend who had picked it up at a cooking class in the city.
I couldn't wait to try making it at home. I gathered the ingredients - butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper - and set to work in the kitchen. As I mixed everything together, I couldn't help but think of Mrs. Henderson and her warm smile as she shared her recipe with me.
When I served the Butter Buds Mayo with our next family meal, my parents and siblings were blown away. They couldn't believe that I had made something so delicious from scratch. From that day on, it became a staple in our household. I would make it for special occasions, like birthday parties and holidays, and it was always a hit.
As the years went by, I continued to make the Butter Buds Mayo for my own family. I taught my children how to make it, and they would often request it for their favorite dishes. It became a tradition in our family, passed down through the generations.
To this day, whenever I make Butter Buds Mayo, I think of Mrs. Henderson and that warm summer evening when she first introduced me to the recipe. It's a reminder of the power of sharing food and recipes with others, and how it can bring people together in the most delicious way.
Now, as a grandmother myself, I love teaching my grandchildren how to make Butter Buds Mayo. They gather around me in the kitchen, eager to learn the recipe and carry on the tradition. I see the same excitement in their eyes that I had all those years ago when I first discovered this special sauce.
And so, the legacy of Butter Buds Mayo lives on in our family, a cherished recipe that brings us closer together with each delicious bite. I am grateful for the memories and connections that this simple sauce has brought into my life, and I will continue to share it with those I love for years to come.
