Take off the heal, from a fresh from the oven loaf.
Slather on some homemade butter and dig in.

Same thing with a pan of yeast biscuits, boy, those didn't last long either.
BIG pan full and a large block of butter, many hands in the pan and knives in the butter!

Nobody makes 'em anymore, I'm stuck with baking powder biscuits and margarine.

My family gave my wife Grandma's recipe box after she died, my wife loved baking with her. There is this recipe in there called "Yummy Buns" - please no puns here. I remember grandma used to bake those and holy crap those things where good. My wife and I are going to hafta try and make those.

I can dig up the recipe if you guys want it.

Oh Ten, my wife does the same thing with the heal.... now just to get that cow so I can have her make butter..... mmmmmmmmmm

Brown Swiss and Jersey cows gave damned near 50% cream.
That's all you need, to make butter, lots of cream.

Dang, I miss those days.

You know there are Amish near by, I just wonder...... of course they might be under federal surveillance, because you know how dangerous they are.

Have not been able to find a good pickled herring for a long time. I liked those that are pickled in white wine

Any Kosher stores around? I'll eat any pickled herring, but like the sour cream the best!
