I am sad to see that Holly Van Sciver, Susan Wenzel, and Susie Johnson are missing from the list of teachers, and no Tønder class offered at all. :-( Come to think of it, no Bucks either--and no Beds, right? Yes, I know there are other great teachers, and some up-and-coming ones, too. I'm

Cultured buttermilk isn't buttermilk at all. It's milk (skimmed or otherwise) which has been soured by growing micro-organisms in it, and has never been near butter. (Though when I was a child, one brand came with tiny flakes of butter added for flavor. I had to give up drinking buttermilk a
