Good 'Ole Southern Buttermilk Pie


Ahh, the South - to have visited there is to understand the love and pride Southern people have for their home. See, I grew up in East Texas. Some would say that it's not a part of the South - that's false. East Texas was pretty much founded by people who came from the Southeast - my family, for instance, comes from Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky. Now when you get to Central and West Texas, I won't argue with you - they are most definitely not a part of the South. Plus, I went to college in Mississippi - Ole Miss, to be exact. I am a tried and true Rebel. I sat through watching The Blindside saying to my friends in Oklahoma, "I went there!!!"  I say all that to say this - Buttermilk Pie - it's a Southern thing that should spread across the nation.  It's so delicious. All I can say is, it tastes nothing like buttermilk. Please try it - you will be amazed!
