We milked cows. Calves drank milk, young pigs drank milk and the same milk was carried to the house for us to drink and use for cooking. Cream was sold to buy essentials and pay bills. Grew up healthy and strong. If Mom served canned peas or green beans, she drained the liquid off and heated them with milk and a pat of butter and served in a sauce dish. It’s what Dad’s Mother did and he liked it that way. We have a Midwest chain of Convenience Stores that have the freshest tasting milk and eggs so naturally we buy from them. Their bakery is popular too. I’m told they have their own dairy, chickens and bakery so it gets to the store quickly.
