You know what you're putting on a pizza if it''s made at home,I know if you could see the hamburger that goes on a Pizza Hut pizza it probably has TVP or soy in the hamburger.The texture isn't there.yes we eat them from there sometime but it's nothing compared to a local small town restaurant we go to.

I made dry lima beans,ham out of the freezer,and rice with corn bread cooked on top of the stove like corn cakes. Tonight I plan on all the left overs going in lima bean soup for supper.

Mike & BakerAunt about the fruit grown in state I have a story for you.When our son was living in New Jersey we wanted to get some Ga.peaches to take to them.A small town not far from us has the best peaches so we went to the peach shed and bought several boxes of peaches.After we got to New Jersey my son was reading a label on the peaches and what do you know but they were from South Carolina.Well damn,I found out after we were back home that after the peaches were picked around here were gone they were getting them shipped from South Carolina.The peaches were good but I didn't know they did that.Live and learn.

BakerAunt when I made the buttermilk I used a large quart jar with screw on lid after it was made.

[Joan Simpson]

I fried chicken tenders that had been soaked in buttermilk,baked potato and lettuce and tomato salad stirred up with mayonnaise.

[Joan Simpson]

I'm with you Mike I never throw it out and it's way past expiration date,I just smell and shake it up.The buttermilk I have now has expiration date of Nov.

Nice to see you posting Gina.

We had Spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic toast.
Italiancook when I make french toast I use whole milk ,an egg or two, some sugar, a squirt of syrup beat well and use whatever bread we have which is honey wheat for me.I have a griddle with my stove top after it's hot melt butter on it dip bread in egg custard ,cooks for about 5 minutes each side and it's good and crisp on edges and so easy.I don't put cinnamon in mine just my preference.

BakerAunt glad your back and hope ya'll had some good weather in Florida,rest and relaxation,at least you didn't have snow to deal with.My sister has been with me for awhile and have enjoyed her so much.Baked two more loaves of the seven grain bread and have been pleased with it.I have never baked a loaf of bread that has risen as fast in both rises.I made it with my old Sunbeam mixmaster and the bread hooks did the kneading.First rise it was coming out of the top of bowl in less than 20 min. did the window pane test and it was ready so I dumped it and formed loaves and they were over the top of 9x5 pans in 30 min.After they were baked they were about 1 & 1/2 inches over top of pan.I sent two loaves home with her today and the rest of the pound cake.

I did make the buttermilk from adding whole milk to a cup or two of buttermilk and leave it setting on counter several hours if your kitchen is cool 4-6 hours then refrigerate.I used this for several months just keep adding to it.It will thicken up just like buttermilk.

I baked a Cold Oven Pound Cake my sister's favorite,and last night I baked the Seven Grain Bread and it is wonderful.I did decrease the salt from 2 teaspoons to 1 and 1/2 and the yeast from 1 Tablespoon to 2 teaspoons.It is the best grain bread I've made so far.Happy here! We had toast with jam this morning and it sliced good and held up well with a soft crumb.
