Ok, so @Jacqui - I finally made the buttermilk pie. The ingredients:

Don't judge me by my pie crust. I have NEVER been able to roll out a perfect circle.

And the finished product:

Can anyone tell me why buttermilk tastes so bad? I like milk. I like butter. But buttermilk? Yuck! The store didn't have quart containers of it, so I had to buy a half gallon. I figured maybe I could drink the remainder. But it almost made me gag! Thank goodness I only took a small sip. @Moozillion says the pie is best when cold, so I'm not going to taste it until later after it's been refrigerated.

I do not know if it is true but my mother explained it to me like this. Buttermilk is actually made from the milk left over AFTER the butter has been extracted from it. So it's actually healthier, but I think they also add some kind of culture to it.

That is exactly what buttermilk was originally - the byproduct of making butter. Today's buttermilk that you buy in the stores is actually cultured, like yogurt.

This is another moment when you realize that your mother knows everything...

Aren't moms great?!

I used to have a roommate who put chicken bones in the freezer after she ate chicken. When I asked her why, she said because her mom always did it. Later, I had a chance to ask her mom about it. She said she put them in the freezer if she wasn't able to take them out to the trash right away so they wouldn't stink up the house. We had a trash chute right outside our door so the daughter could have disposed of them immediately. I guess if I hadn't asked her mother, our freezer would have been so full of bones there wouldn't have been room for anything else!

Soooo, how was the pie?? I’m so curious!

It was ok, but not something I'll make again.

I'm having a hard time getting going today. I couldn't get to sleep last night. Every time I looked at the clock it was a half hour later than the last time I looked. I was awake to hear all the guns and fireworks at midnight. My next door neighbor is native american and he and his cohorts were beating drums quite some time before and after midnight. The last time I remember looking at the clock was around 2a. But Misty and Sterling were sure to tell me it was time to get up at 5a. Darned animals. If I ignore them Misty huffs in my face and Sterling bites my head and digs in my hair, claws extended. So I'm up and dressed. The daily tortoise ration is fixed and in the tub. Cats fed. Teeth brushed. Morning ablutions accomplished. I think I'm having a hard time getting going because I've decided today will be the day I start on raking the leaves off the roof of the tortoise gazebo. It's hard for me to climb the ladder. It's hard for me to lift the lo-o-o-o-o-ong handled rake to get it up high enough to reach as far as it reaches. It's hard! But I have to do it or the rotting leaves will make the roof of the garage rust (metal building). I was going to make bierocks, but I didn't get the frozen dough out of the freezer early enough. If I set it out now it will be too late in the day by the time they have thawed. Maybe tomorrow. OK, I've put it off long enough. . .

Bierocks?

 

[Jacqui]

Hi everybody!

 

[DE42]

You know you're a pet owner when this is the fisrt thing on Amazon when you log on.

 

[Big Charlie]

Bierocks?

I had to google it too! It's a German meat stuffed roll.

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh man. . . you've never had bierocks? M-m-m-m good!

Like a Runza?

 

[Momof4]

Nope, I’ve never heard of it!

 

[Jacqui]

Nope, I’ve never heard of it!

My kind of lady! Lol

@yvonneG
Similar to Bea’s other recipe, while camping this week my friend baked something similar to that bread thing she posted. Except it was a Pillsbury bread loaf. You unroll it and just add pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and roll it back up. I guess you could stuff it with anything that tickles your fancy.

 

[Big Charlie]

Like a Runza?

I've never heard of that either!

 

[Jacqui]

Morning!

 

[Jacqui]

What! You never had a Runza!

 

[Jacqui]

Guess who is going to Ireland in May.....
