Am I the only one that misses C-rats?
I'm more a pinto or red beans guy, but some good corn bread with beans of any type sound tasty.cycleguy2300,
NO smoked ham hocks either at HEB here. = I'm in the mood for NAVY BEANS with pork & cornbread fritters.

oldag; All,
To All: FWIW, my recipe for navy beans is REALLY simple - Dry Navy beans soaked overnight, smoked pork, one onion roughly chopped & black pepper.
Cooked until tender. - That's IT.
(Fyi, I used to "fancy it up a bit" but my lady & most of our friends like it BEST really "plain Jane", as above.)
My fried cornbread recipe is really SIMPLE, too: 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, one egg (beaten), 1/4 teaspoon of salt & STIR-IN enough milk to make a batter that is as thick/thin as you want it to be.
Put batter, by serving spoon fulls, into a preheated frying pan with about 1/4 inch of grease & fry until as dark as you want.
SERVE with butter.
(MAKE LOTS, as these very simple/quick to make fritters DISAPPEAR as if by magic.)
ADDENDA: The only "hillbilly food" that I cook that disappears FASTER than corn fritters is thick slices of eggplant, dipped into a beaten raw egg, dredged in cornmeal & pan-fried in bacon grease.
Fwiw, I finally "smartened up", bought a BIG/DEEP electric skillet from the Goodwill Store & cook the eggplant rounds AT THE TABLE, as otherwise I have to eat AFTER everyone else has eaten
(Fried eggplant is BEST when served scalding hot, straight from the frying pan.)
yours, satx
There is actually a brand of canned butter beans that is pretty darn good for canned. If I could only remember the name. Good if you are in a hurry.Butter beans cooked with a smoked ham hock in a slow cooker, served with some homemade cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet is just some real good eating!
Hillbilly food? Those are East Texas staples. Corn bread, beans, peas, fried eggplant, fried squash, greens (collard, mustard or turnip - collard are my favorite), etc.
First I was thinking "serious thread drift", then on the other hand...
Feet my friend. FeetThat's what happens when you run out....
And yet, almost a year later, none of them that have hoarded, or are hoarding TP can tell you why they are hoarding!
Because best I can tell, even if you get the Covid 19, none of the symptoms are those that require huge needs for extra TP.
Personally, I think most of these people hoarding TP are just idiots!
Nope. I'll take them over MREs any day.Am I the only one that misses C-rats?
All of this toilet paper nonsense could be cured...with a bidet like they use in yurp.
Does a better job of cleaning your bung hole too.
Personally, I think anyone that condones, advocates or promotes any type of socialist, communist, or Marxist values, or ideology, should be shipped to one of those countries for a year, and live in that environment.
I think their viewpoints and opinions of that way of life would be altered drastically.
2.5 weeks ago -right before the election, I read on the internet that if Trump wins there'll be renewed rioting and that'll create shortages again. Something along those lines created this.
Not going to touch it.
The seashells would work but only if you have three (3) of them.
umm, aka sausage casings
