Exactly correct. Also got the job of skimming the cottage cheese off the top of heating clabber milk. I don't touch cottage cheese to this day.

Think I made up a word? Explain Clabber Girl baking powder.

The color packet that I remember came with margarine, better known as "oleo" back then.
The story was, when margarine was "invented" the FDA wouldn't allow it to be colored before being sold, afraid stores would pass it off as butter. About that home made bread, Wednesday was bread baking day at our house. I still miss it. Mom's probably baking bread in Heaven today.

Not quite true. We sold whole milk in the cans(100 lb capacity). We also sold butter and eggs. The payment for the milk was based on the butter fat content. Basically to prevent watering the milk or skimming off or separating the cream out. We kept some of the milk for home use. This was for cooking and drinking and making butter. We made no attempt to separate it. Went in the churn at room temp and we churned it. Butter was taken to town along with the eggs. Butter sold for .35 per pound. I don't think I ever knew what the eggs went for.
It required a weekly trip to town to take the produce in. The whole milk was picked up daily and a new clean can left for refilling.
My point is we churned whole milk. I can't see where there would be any buttermilk if only cream was churned. See this from Wikipedia:
Churning is the process of shaking up cream or whole milk to make butter, usually using a butter churn. In Europe from the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution, a churn was usually as simple as a barrel with a plunger in it, moved by hand. These have mostly been replaced by mechanical churns. You don't 'make' butter just separate it out of the milk.

EXACTLY. And I am starting to notice a LOT of FALSE Advertising lately!!
Ever see the Ads for Reversed Mortgage? The latest one they have is Tom Selleck talking about a Woman that lost her Husband in 1961. It shows a pic of them together, supposedly before he died, and they both look like late 60s or early 70s. Then his friend invented Reversed Mortgage, and she was one of the very FIRST Customers. Then goes on to tell how she is doing well, and shows a pic of her with her family. 1961 was 59 years ago. She would be about to turn 120 yrs old if she was only 60 in 1961, yet she still doesn't look a day over when her Hubby was alive!!

Mom always poured it into a clean Dishtowel laid over the top of a kettle and let it drain. Then added a little cream and salt. I LOVE COTTAGE CHEESE to this day.

NEVER heard that. How could he do that. He would have had to have a Fire hose hooked to it, and run it to what? A pickup with a water tank?

OK. Where DO you get buttermilk? That was where we got it from. It was the milk that was left after the butter was churned out of it. We, being a family of ten, drank all of the milk from our two and/or three cows, or used it in cooking!! We separated it first. Then made butter from the cream. It doesn't take as much churning that way, and the milk is healthier for you.We didn't sell milk, so we did not have to worry about whether it was WHOLE or not. I KNOW we separated it because I had to wash the separator every night. It was BIG and Bulky and a big pain to wash. I know I didn't drink buttermilk. STILL DON't to this day.
You said Coffee Mate contains something called Caseinate, that is derived from milk?? I guess that would mean then that it is NOT a NON-DAIRY Product. It has dairy in it. Not nitpicking, but Just the FACTS MA'AM!!

I don't remember which day it was. I just know we went through two loaves of bread right off the bat when it came out of the oven. Also Cinnamon roles. Those were the desert after supper. I also learned to make bread and made it all of the years my boys were growing up. That was about the time I stopped making it on a regular basis.
We also made Maple syrup every winter. THAT we sold. We also smoked our own meats. And Fish. AND we CAUGHT our own fish. I still LOVE FISHING to this day!!

By the way. Butter milk and cornbread was a favorite meal.
