SLIDE:
Granny used to bake bread for the week on Saturday. She used pie pans. The amount for one loaf was divided into 3 balls and put into the pie pans. Covered with bacon grease or melted butter.
After baking and cooling, she wrapped them in flour sack dish towel and put them in the water bath canner with a lid on to keep it good for the week. We sliced what we wanted off as we needed too.
Homemade butter from the cream we got from the cows we milked. Mixed it with sorghum molasses as a spread for a snack with a nice cold cup of raw cow’s milk.

Our Grannies may be kin! Grama made bread Saturdays and Tuesdays though in winter. Just Saturday in summer, too hot. But she always gave away 1 or 2 loaves of every 3 loaf batch. She had a metal bread box that was old as the hills to keep the bread. I got the bread box when she passed away but it dented in a move and the dented corner rusted out.
And since I’m a sentimental sap that bread box now catches assorted things in my garden shed. The kind of stuff where half goes in the trash when I sort it out twice a year.
