Cast Iron Corn Bread

 Mmmmmm. Savory. Just slightly sweet ... OR slightly spicy ...

If you're going to make cornbread, you need to make it from scratch. And if you're going to make it from scratch, you need to make it in a cast iron skillet. There are some pretty decent mixes out there. Certainly better than buying it ready made. But how can you make cornbread without fresh eggs? Without real sour cream? Without real butter?!

That skillet was my Grandmother's. It was a wedding present to her. That makes it about, oh, 100 years old or so. Yeah.


Heat the skillet on the burner to give it a nice brown crust ... then pop it in the oven for the cook. 20 minutes, give or take.


Oh yeah, that's fresh corn there ... Mmmmmm



Nestled in a bowl with some hot chile, topped with some freshly grated cheese.
OK, I gotta go now ..

French Toast .. It's Custard Dude


Simple.

Sometimes the best things are the simplest things. Sometimes you don't have to say very much at all. Bread, egg, milk, vanilla extract and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Oh, and butter. It's basically a quick custard. I love me some custard.

I Fucking Love To Eat

Ive been posting a lot of food pictures to Instagram and Twitter lately.
I haven't been posting any blog entries .. really hardly ever.

Hmmmmmm.

Hey I know! Why not blog about food?! My food!! Food I cook!
Yeah, that's the ticket!

(Sup with all the !!!'s dude?)

Ok, so that's what I'm going to do. I'll post links to Twitter and Facebook and if you want to see and read, you can! If not, you don't have to (and you're an ass)!

Heh, heh ... why didn't I think of this before? Brilliant! And so original!
