Good evening-- it is pretty late but I feel I really want to connect with each of you! Today we had a conversation about - of all things - cornbread -- think that would have been a discussion in the North? Anyway - we were trying to think of all the things that are either made with cornbread, the different kinds of cornbread, or what you normally (or not so normally) eat with cornbread. Now where that came from-not sure who could explain that! Ok - think, think, think! Cornbread dressing (of course) yes - absolutely deliciou unless it is saturated in sage or has cream of chicken soup - also - Mexican cornbread casserole, then there is regular corn bread, JC's Jiffy cornbread, Mexican cornbread, brocolli cornbread and hundred of version of "homemade": cornbread! Then you can eat cornbread with chili, soup, buttermilk (uck!), plain and with butter, soup, blackeye peas, beans of all sorts, and on and on and on! Amazing - so many great recipes from an ol Soouthern standby!! Probably because corn meal was all they had! How amazing and creative those women were!!
I looked through my blog today - got all of the way through April 2010 when I could not go any further and realized I have probaby duplicated several recipes several times - but with way over a hundred posts - I forget some of the recipes and if they are numerous -they were exceptional then I remembered them or cooked them again and felt I had to share. One is the Chocolate Sheath Cake - with cinnamon - I think I found it 3 or 4 times - but it is worth it!!! Whichever post you retrieved - the chocolate cake( with great fudge icing) is worth the effort!!!
We went to Don Juans tonight -- so guess I gained another pound even though I only ate one chicken enchilada with verde (green sauce) and salad. But of course there is chips, tortillo's, and hot sauce)to pad the hips!!
Our church "sheparding group" is meeting this Sunday for the first time and we are to take potluck food. I am trying to decide on something that will shine and everyone will appreciate and enjoy. Travis suggested Chicken and Dressing - but although delicous - it is not easy and not the showy dish I want!
I really want to know how to add movies, poems, words that pertain to my blog and think it would really enhance it. It might also gain me another reader or two.
Here is a recipe that I may have already posted - but way back then is too far to look and find it - so here it is:
MOM'S COCONUT PIE
Scant cup of sugar
2 Ttsp. flour, rounded
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup coconut
4 eggs
In saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Into 2 cup measuring cup put 4 egg yolks; beat and finish filling with milk to 2 cups. Add milk mixture to flour-sugar mixture, stiring well. cook (continuing to stir) over medium heat until it thickens. Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring. Pour into baked 9 inch crust.
MERANGUE:
6 EGG WHITE
1 TABLESPOON CREAM OF TARTER
1/2 CUP SUGAR
1/2 TSP. VANILLA
Beat egg whites until stiff. Add, while continuing to to beat, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Beat until stiff. Pile on top of pie, sealing edges. bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until meringue becomes a golden brown. This is my families' favorite dessert and I hope they enjoy this one.
Ok - time to give up and turn in! First - a reminder -- HAVE A BLESSED MONTH and call me any time I might help! Everyone -- do something wonderful -- some one who would have believed we really loved HIm!!! I wish each of you a blessed evening.
