Haha I do what Cathy does as well, the bread method works! Although I suppose it would only work if you knew in advance that you needed it, in which case microwaving would probably work better. The problem I actually find is having butter at room temperature! I know its pretty simple and you have to leave it, but since my baking is usually spontaneous it's always such a pain to have to wait! Oh also P.S. I'd just like to mention, in case you read this comment that I've just recently found this blog and what I like the most about it are the progress photos that you post with the recipe. Thanks a bunch (Alsoo, I'm reposting this since it got wiped out after logging in, sorry if its already posted without me knowing!)
