Speaking of molasses, one treat I loved growing up was molasses and butter. Just those two things mixed together. But apparently like so many toddlers I didn’t pronounce all my words fluently. So there was several folks in my family that loved to get little Van Hagar to request “asses and butter.”

Oh, granny would pour me some sorghum and mix it with butter and I would take my "cathead" and sop up that yummy delight. Wish I had some right now.

My Granny would mix scrambled eggs with molasses and serve it hot with biscuits.  She called that egg butter.  I don't think that's a dish that's very common.  Probably one of her made up things, but it sure was good!!

During the summer, we would eat whatever we were working up from the garden.  Many times I've eaten fried corn over catheads with sliced tomatoes for breakfast.

Granny,   so you'all used the term "cathead"  too ???   I figured that's one pawpaw just came up with .  lol

Also, pawpaw had a garden every year. During the summer, we just had vegetables from the garden(rarely any meat during the summer). Of course, we had a "pone" of pawpaw's cornbread every every evening with our garden veggies.

And what about buttermilk? There was always some in the fridge when I was growing up, the grandparents ‘snack’ after supper would often be just a glass of buttermilk with either corn bread or light bread (white bread for you younguns’) dipped into it, and ate with a spoon. I can’t even imagine doing that now.

Are you sure we didn't grow up in the same neighborhood? Are we related?LOL

One of pawpaw's favorite after dinner treats was cornbread and buttermilk. He would crumble up a piece of his cornbread in his buttermilk.
