NYC: Butter with the Blondes

Butter NYC, dinner with the girls

Butter…a restaurant with such a name must be predestined to serve amazing food. And it does. At least the Butter Restaurant in NYC. The décor is avant-garde with wooden panels and a large birch-forest picture at the end wall, and Butter has also got enough it-status to appear as the background restaurant in one of the Gossip Girl episodes.

Because of some confusion regarding the location, we were around 30 minutes late for our table, but fortunately it was still vacant and a friendly and welcoming waitress showed us to our seats and introduced us to the menu’s highlights as well as the evening’s specials.

We all had a New York Strip, along with a bottle of sparkling wine to start with, followed by a bottle of Spanish red wine later. The bill for the evening was just below $100 per person. Considering what you get for the same amount of money in Copenhagen (MASH, I’m looking at you), I can’t help wondering why I haven’t moved to NYC yet? All in all, Butter was the perfect place to start a Saturday night. A Saturday night, which later continued with Jaeger Bombs and cocktails, but that’s a different story…

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$129.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
