  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have a dash churn at home, it is the real old times churn. It is very hard to churn with it. My mother was telling me that along time ago, the people of the house used not let anyone into the house when any of them was churning, if the people did, they would think that the person would be taking the butter. When the people would have the butter churned, they would stick some on the wall.
