 Cornbread & Buttermilk are reminiscing over childhood Easter’s in the Deep South.  Find out what Easter was like at Maw-maws house.   They recall how dressing for Easter was a part of southern culture.  Azaleas and Dogwood trees, were the backdrops for family photos.  Of coarse there were the Easter Egg Hunts held on emerald green manicured lawns.   The azalea bush made a perfect hiding place for the treasured Golden Easter Egg.  From pound cake, to coconut cake, and sweet potato pie,  Easter’s in the south was a sweet affair for decerning palates.   The secret formula for Coco-Cola can not be revealed, however Coca-Cola was the secret southern ingredient that gave the Easter ham that rich golden glaze.  We hope ya’ll  enjoy the episode, and have a safe and happy Easter.  God Bless ya’ll!
