Maybe I'll have to try making cornbread in my #14 Griswold cast iron skillet.

My grandpa Mack shared cornbread in buttermilk with me. I still love it.
A tall ice tea glass, eat it with an ice tea spoon.
I make mine now with habaneros.

Cornbread and pinto beans in the winter. Cornbread with green beans and tomatoes in the summer. Yep, even some fried green tomatoes.
I truly miss those day back home in Ethel Hollow.

Hey Ole Joe, I think this southern style thing is sinking in over here with us transplants in SC. Last night we got together with two other retired couples from NY and they took us to dinner at the Whistle Stop Café in Travelers Rest SC. Ordered corn bread and fried green tomato appetizers for the table. Good stuff. 
What, no butter beans?
I haven't had butter beans in years. Miss them!
Ham hocks, black eyed peas with fresh sliced onions on my corn bread nowadays.

Nothing better than sweet milk and cornbread.

My Mom , raised dirt poor during the depression in East Texas , loved her corn bread , in a bowl , covered with Buttermilk ! Would eat it with a spoon . She said they drank the buttermilk because it was leftover from churning butter and couldn't be sold for much. The butter and fresh sweet milk was sold .
I tried my best but could never develop a taste for buttermilk... my stomach just didn't want to keep it down.... Mom made it look so good . The cornbread.... I still love a good hot pone with real butter !

You guys are KILLING ME here! It's a good hour before lunch and now my tummy is growling and I'm drooling on my keyboard. I guess I'm going to have to go eat lunch at Cracker Barrel now to get my "Cornbread fix". I can't wait until I get home and have to go through all the prep work.
I need cornbread NOW! Might get a bowl of beans & greens to go with it. Dang! Now I'm doing it to MYSELF!

Put bacon grease or lard in the bottom of the skillet , put the skillet in the oven to get hot while you mix the batter ...
Pour the batter into the hot grease in the hot skillet ...it should sizzle...
and bake....talk about a fantastic crust and flavor !
I would have married that pretty blonde haired girl but we were both young and she moved on ... I still think fondly of her "Cooking " and other "abilities" .

ham-n-beans over cornbread is one of my favorites. Wife doesn't make it, but mother-in-law does.
Sometimes on 'kids choice' night I will make bacon covered beanie-weenies with tater tots and cornbread muffins.
There's never any left over.

All the essential food groups, eh?
Mix up the batter, add in diced hard boiled eggs, crumbles sausage, and bacon. Fry in a cast iron skillet, slice in half. butter and syrup( no sugar ). EAT.

You had me at "hot buttered" and then when I read "cornbread", I just about swooned! It ain't really hot but once, right after it comes outa the oven and the cast iron skillet it was baked in. Yep, you can sure warm it up so's it'll melt butter, and it's good then, but not quite like it is right outa the oven! But it's always good for cornbread and sweet milk! Well, it is till it's gone .... sigh.
"Swooned"... what a great word.

I agree, Rusty. Perfect for just this situation, IMO! In fact, Old Joe got my mouth to waterin' with his post, and then I remembered the last piece of the the last cake of cornbread my wifemate put together was sittin' in the fridge waitin' on me to decide to dunk it in milk. That ain't exactly on my diabetic diet, but if you won't tell, I won't either! And I'll eat some protein to kinda balance out the carbs and it'll be OK. Actually, I'm just now cleanin' the bowl of that fine stuff. And, yep, it was dee-licious! Maybe now my all time favorite gurl will make up another skillet full for us. Dibs on the first piece outa the skillet!

"Swooned" is the past tense of "to swine", a verb meaning "to make a pig of oneself on really good fresh cornbread".
Some people spell it "swone", but "swooned" is the proper form.

The wife made butter beans with ham cubes in it and cornbread a couple of weeks back. Hadn't had it for years and man did it hit the spot! Crumbling some up over the beans was real comfort food.
When I was a kid my mom would have the beans on the stove when we came back from rabbit / pheasant hunting. We would be half frozen and worn out. She would toss in the cornbread while we cleaned whatever we got then we would fill our bellies and fall asleep in front of the tv watching football.

Will you adopt me?
