Steamed potatoes + butter + salt is one of the best things in life. So is a good baguette with butter. I don't eat butter every day and usually cook sautés in olive oil. But no more butter would be utterly sad.
Yes, a kindred spirit! One thing though, I've heard that you should not cook with Olive Oil. It's burn temperature is too low and burning it turns the fats in it from good to bad ones. Olive oil great for dressings of course. Lard, butter or ghee better for frying with apparently.
