A little bit of butter added to any other oil towards the end will give you the buttery goodness.
This is the correct answer.

I taught that trick to Mrs. Buzz while we were first dating, when she asked whether I wanted her to use oil or butter, and I said "both" for the reason already noted. I'm not a fan of cooking anything at temps beyond the smoke point of the pan lubricant, so keeping an eye on the oil and butter, and the yummies being cooked, is all part of making a tasty meal. Basically use the oil/butter to determine proper cooking temperature, rather than Lo. Med, Hi, temp gauge or thermometer. I like butter flavored stuff, but unlike Mrs. Buzz who will slather butter and and salt on everything edible, I don't salt or butter anything after it's prepared, which is why I started adding a touch of butter during the cooking, going back to the days of early bachelorhood. Mrs. Buzz initially thought I was nuts, until the meal was served, and she's been hooked ever since.
kap- you will enjoy it tomorrow, and maybe experiment (if you don't already) w/ some hints a couple of spices that will make your veggie choices pop. Try the cooking sites for suggestions to match your veggies as well as personal tastes, or come back here for more advice :-).
