Yeah, no Krogers near here. Checked Walmart, Aldi, Lidl, and another store or two including the Commissary of Fort Belvoir.....
I wouldn't touch this buttermilk if I had my druthers.
Yeah, the inflation happening now is draining decent people. Just criminal what is happening.
Throw it away!!! It's way out of date!!!!!Buttermilk is the only kind if milk i’ve ever drank since i’ve been old enough to hold a cup. weird i guess. one of my favorite morning snacks is leftover cold pizza with cold buttermilk straight from the jug—no biggy since nobody drinks it but me.
This is very good too but about twice the price.
Shoot Sir, The picture I posted was out of date the 19th but I drank it today. I am doomed....
We'll keep them both as long as we can. 🗽

So far this has not been a great year for my tomatoes. The romas are a complete bust due to blossom end rot even though I'm adding plenty of calcium to the soil. I only grow them for salsas and sauces because on their own they're kind of bland. The other plants are just so-so. I'm wondering if the cicadas have anything to do with the problem. We were inundated by those bastards and I had to pick off several each day. From my understanding, veggies and herbs shouldn't have been a concern BUT...
Our garden is doing good. But we had no, nada, zero cicadas....so maybe that has something to do with it. Tomato plants are so big and bushy it's hard to see if we have any ripening yet. Don't think so. We got about 2 bushels of squash, zuchini, and cukes yesterday (she made 4 loaves of zuchini bread today). Corn is tall and green with no blight, etc. Potatoes look good. Got a few onions.
Full disclosure....the Mrs has done most of the work. Once all the flowers in the flower gardens/borders start to bloom the veggie garden is her 'go to'. Me....I do the tilling...help with the planting....and that's about it. Mowing/trimming is a full time job.
There is a dairy in my area that has the best milk around, including their buttermilk (the brand is Shamrock). I was complaining about them not carrying Shamrock buttermilk and the manager of our Kroger (called Fryes out here - there are no Kroger stores out here) told me that their branded buttermilk is Shamrock buttermilk in a Fryes' container. I tried it and found that it was true. I'm fairly sure that it is this way many places so there is probably no uniformity to a Kroger brand. Depends on where you are.

Our peppers, hot and bell, are thriving and the herbs are growing like gangbusters. Maybe this is just a down year, kind of like last season's UK basketball. So glad though that you've got a prosperous garden. Enjoy the bounty!

I had a friend in Fort Wayne to whom I posted this photo (Indiana School for Feeble Minded Children) and asked him if this was his alma mater. His reply was "Yes it was - and I graduated at the top of my class."
I agree with you. Best use for buttermilk is soaking chicken for frying. Buttermilk is love or hate, kind of like raw oysters. Love raw oysters.
Watched a documentary on the Manson women last night. Such sweet gals. No way they could commit such heinous crimes.

I don't know, my biscuits sure taste better using buttermilk. I like that versus sweet milk (Like my Aunt used to say.)
You make a great point.
My dad did as well. He would mix cornbread and buttermilk and eat it. Another one of his favorite things was lettuce and onions with hot grease.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and mostly cloudy. Increased rain chances around noon. Today's high may max out at around 89°F. We'll definitely take it.
Bucks won NBA championship. Wife ticked because Booker's team lost.
Happy Hump Day!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Today will be a repeat of yesterday right down to the weather. So......
Wonder if any of the antifa 'moms' from Seattle/Portland last year are related? Daughters of? Granddaughter?Watched a documentary on the Mason women last night. Such sweet gals. No way they could commit such heinous crimes.
My Dad loved that too. Ugh! Mom used to make, and Dad loved it, a salad using bacon grease. Imagine about the same thing. Now that I liked. Haven't had for years.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 66° and foggy. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 84°.
Everyone stay on this Wednesday.
Everyone stay on this Wednesday.
Whoops! I corrected my type-o. Manson women not Mason. That could have ticked off a lot of good people.
Good morning folks. Hazy and muggy in the east.
The air was so thick this morning that the sun rose up like a glowing basketball instead of diffusing its rays like a typical sunrise. This photo snapped with my iPhone doesn't do it justice, but it was more like a moon rise.
Hope everyone has a good day, and stays cool.

Wilted lettuce salad is still popular with some folks. i had it many times at my grandma’s. fresh leaf lettuce and chopped green onions out of her garden with hot grease from fried salt bacon. pretty damned good. some people add a little vinegar to the grease. i’ve made it, like forty years ago, minus the bacon, using hot peanut or canola oil. i haven’t had a slice of bacon or any red meat in 22 years.
Those were crazy days to be in LA.
For want of much else on TV right now I'm watching the series Aquarius, the fictional account of a detective in LA (David Duchovny) during the days when the Manson Family is on the rise...It's not great. The writers strain themselves to make sure we all get that blacks, Hispanics, women and Gays are all treated terribly, thus justifying all the whining and marching around since. So I'm not recommending it.
But there are some parts that aren't bad. The guy playing Manson does a decent job of almost making you feel he's a human broken by his terrible upbringing, just before he does something like viciously punching out his mother and turning her over to a biker gang as a toy.
Our garden is going gang busters......I planted potatoes on 4-27, the garden got planted on 5-18 and the sweet potatoes were planted on 5-27......we have canned green beans and made a few quarts of pickles.....I plan on digging the potatoes and can most of them....I planted a row of Yukon Gold potatoes and so far we are getting about 3-5 lbs per hill.......most of the seed potatoes were cut into quarters so.....each potato planted is coming up with about 15-20 pounds..........the only bug repellent I have used is the agricultural lime the "G" man recommended twice and no chemical fertilizers........
When the Director and myself first got married her mother would come up from NC two to three times a year......the Director's brother would drive her up.......before she left home she would cook up enough cornbread to last the FIL while she was gone.......the only damn thing the man would eat the whole time she was gone was cornbread and buttermilk they made on the farm......I can't get past the first bite.......he told me he liked it better than ice cream and cake.....
They say it is from the fires out west. Those states are the "green" states but they don't manage their forest or scrub land at all and cause all the problems for the rest of the nation. I drove to Thompkinsville, KY. The haze was the worst that I have seen in 20 years. We rednecks in Kentucky don't appreciate those tree hugger out west messing with our clean air.
Morning folks. It is a sunny 74.3°F on our way to 88°.
Buttermilk and cornbread were a staple for mom and dad, especially for dad right before he would go to bed. I don't like it but they did.
Giving away my stash of lumber today to a friend who will use it. It is mainly cherry, walnut and eastern cedar with some oak.
You all have a good day.

I drove close to Thompkinsville on July 13 to visit my cousin in TN. Traveled 249 out of Glasgow. Got behind a couple tractors. Driving 14-17 MPH for 11 miles on those twisting roads really gets on a person's nerves.
You probably remember the 1976 mini series about the Manson murders. Steve Railsback did such a good job playing Manson that it hurt his career.

82 -- Alas, I never saw that. I spent much of 1976 in Alaska on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and out of range of TV. Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it.
Good morning D, read Hosea 3 this morning.
We have Calfsmog here in KY, California smog.
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!! Got to get some peaches in some food saver bags today!

My mother made it and I liked it. Haven't had it in 60 years.
Loves me some buttermilk and cornbread. I have it fairly regularly.
My route is over the Cumberland parkway to 90 outside Glasgow then 163 out of Summershade. It is all improved highway and many three lane sections. That is a few miles longer but the roads are a lot better.
I did pass one John Deere tractor and one New Holland combine.
That is a good coined word Cordmaker. Now we need to come up with a coined word that will include Oregon and Washington, you know those states were everyone is a left wing, tree hugging, nut job who look down on stupid folks down south.
I lived in SoCal (Ventura) 1976-81. It was still a nice place to live then. I moved back to SoCal in 91 and lived there until 07 and watched the downward slide. It has gotten much worse since I left and I miss nothing about the place.
