True excerpt from an 1881 edition of the Austin American Statesman.
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.
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.
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.
Whoops! I corrected my type-o. Manson women not Mason. That could have ticked off a lot of good people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 first visited Southern California in 1970. I suppose that was the height of the smog and dirty air. I came in from the Northeast and there was a purple dome over LA just as we cleared the mountains.
This was really good listening to
U need to find some Indian Head Nicks & wheatback pennies.Found a $5 bill about 1/2 hour ago behind 7/11 during my walk.
This morning's haul below. Life is good. Happy Hump Day.
Dumpster dived when younger. I'll sometimes grab a few things if I can reach 'em.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
