I remember my mom used to cook on a wood stove and would mix cornbread and cook it right on the eye of the wood stove. I think she called them "hoe cakes". Anyway they were good with butter.<BR/>I especially liked them if they were burned a little around the edges. I also like burned popcorn.<BR/>Some people think my crazy, but I like burned or scorched corn. I always scooped the scorched corn or burned corn from the skillet from which mom made fried corn.

Dot, would ya mind picking me up on the way to Connies? :) I was grown up with tobacco fields and peach orchards so it was very interesting to hear about the grist mill. LOL Carolanne, maybe Connie would cook some grits just for you! They are really good here in the south. I remember going to Chicago once and of course I had to get hash browns as they had no grits. They are so inexpensive and such a big part of breakfast here in the south. Carolanne, I hope you get a chance just once to try some grits, buttered good and always gotta have enough salt to make them tasty.<BR/>Thanks Connie for this enlighting post. I am gonna fry some cornbread your way as I always fix it the way Dot referred to.<BR/>Have a great day my friend!Moobearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335274868097138015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274802199669148664.post-86613149895194882312007-03-26T08:19:00.000-05:002007-03-26T08:19:00.000-05:00It ought to be against the law for you to talk abo...It ought to be against the law for you to talk about all that good food!!
