Snacks, or Night food

 Today’s one of a kind:

 A real Lego truck?  They say it is real, but looks fake to me. LOL

Some thoughts for today:

Since my childhood I have loved saltine crackers and milk. I preferred good cornbread and that was with white milk or butter milk.  BUT crackers were always with white milk. I am not sure how mama came up with butter milk, but I think it was the remains after she churned the milk for butter. My daddy preferred cornbread and butter milk

Of course there were days that cornbread and milk was our supper.  Not that there wasn’t anything else, it was just what mama and daddy preferred some evenings. We never had a cow, but bought from farmers by the gallon. Once we lived in town our milk was delivered a couple times a week in quart jars. The cream would rise and the neck of the milk was always yellow cream; mama saved the cream for coffee and to churn for butter.

The bottles had a round cardboard stopper.

In my early childhood up to 5 yrs old, mama used a wooden churn, using an up and down motion she churned until the butter was on the top. 

Then she skimmed it off and put it into mold, after it hardened, she turned them over and the ½ pound of butter had a pretty flower on top.

Later in town mama had a glass churn that she turned at the top and turned paddles. She could see the butter rise without lifting a lid.

But for my snacks? Nuts or popcorn, but nothing satisfies me like plain soda crackers and milk. I prefer to crush them in a glass and add milk, but I also eat them as now, typing this, one cracker then follow with a cool sip of milk.  LOL

There are other snacks, left overs, etc, but I prefer plain crackers and milk.

My Sweetheart prefers popcorn or a small dish of Ice cream. 

Do you have a favorite?
