I had a rant one night at work about bread crumbs in hamburgers, marinating steaks, and community dark roast. All went back to poor people having too many kids.




Full disclosure I came up on all three of those that is why I can speak on the topic.

I'm feverishly writing down everything said about cornbread in this thread. My grandmother makes the best cornbread, but she refuses to share anything about it.

I use bacon grease, like my grandmother did. I also use her black iron skillet. That's good cornbread.

Yes it is! Its the best way to make it! Bacon grease is what my grandmother used and that is what I use too. I have used cooking oil and it is not as good.

Thanks for the replies folks! I hope my next batch is better!

Y'all are teaching a GA guy that likes to eat Cajun and Creole style foods some new tricks! :cheers:

I don't like my red beans to be too herby. No sage in mine. I use a bay leaf and maybe some thyme sometimes. I like garlic and lots of onions. If I have a ham stock in the freezer, I use that. I throw in whatever smoked pork product I have like hocks or ham...It must have sausage or andouille. I will brown some of it and remove it, so I can use the grease to saute the veggies, and add it back toward the end. I don't like sausage/andouille cooked to death.

I always add a stick of butter in the pot just before serving. It makes them creamy.

I am trying to keep my triglicyride count down. The computers are not able to measure it, I am talking three thousand or above. I had a visit with the cardiologist last week and the nurse looks at me for a few minutes while gettong acquainted. She basically crapped in her pants as I informed her that I was on my third stroke and second MI. I give God a thank you every morning as I look at the sun rising.

The strokes are two millimeters from DEAD. I have seen the pictures of the location, my doctors have been befuddled by the fact that I am still breathing. How many people can walk into an ER say they are having an MI, and start telling jokes to the staff?


ETA, I was walking down the halls of the Lake four hours later, I posted here off the hospitals computer system that afternoon.

So when you were teaching Momma how to make cornbread was this before or after you cooked for the two first ladies and the Archbishop of Canterbury?

Just jealous I didn't have an Equadorian family beg me to marry their daughter because she was married to an asshat.

I'm waiting on Cit to tell us he waved a spatula, parted that red water and saved a bunch of Jews only to have them tell him they like tomatos in their cassoulet.

I add a stick of butter at the end of my red beans for extra creaminess.

You know me. Always the contrarian. Today is the first time I've ever heard of putting sage in red beans. I'm not a sage fan, though.

Personally, no sage in red beans and rice or anything for that matter. I've tried it in any number of things and I just don't care for it. That's purely subjective, though.
