That sounds good, Dan.....But I have a recipe in my head that my great
grandmother gave to me..........Yum. lol
Oh and meatballs as well.

Recipe and Cooking forum is now up....

Ok, for all of us Southerner's out there:

THE WORLDS BEST PINTO BEANS AND CORNBREAD

1 pound dry pinto beans, about 2-1/3 cups
2 quarts of tap water
2 to 4 ounces margarine or bacon or salt pork or 1/4 cup bacon grease
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Soak the beans in 2 quarts of cold water overnight, or in 2 quarts of
boiling water for an hour or two. After soaking, or the next day, bring
the beans to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat, so the
beans merely simmer. Cover and simmer for half an hour. Then add the
margarine or bacon, salt and pepper. Cover again and simmer for another
45 minutes to an hour. The beans should be tender and fragrant. Bite
into one to see if it is cooked though. When they are tender, they are
ready to serve. I always serve these beans with Corn Bread and Mixed
Greens. This is just about my favorite meal in the whole wide world.
Some folks squirt ketchup on these beans when they eat them, that is a
fine southern tradition, although I prefer them without it. The small
amount of bacon adds to the protein quality of the beans, and it also
turns the bean broth into something called pot licker. That means the
juice is so good, you want to lick the pot. Soak up the bean juice with
your corn bread.

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups white cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup low-fat milk
2 large eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 400°.Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a
10-inch seasoned iron skillet; place in oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine the meal, flour, salt, baking powder and soda.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and milk with eggs and melted butter.

Gradually fold milk mixture into dry ingredients, folding and mixing
just until all dry ingredients are moist.

Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully remove the hot skillet from
the oven; swirl slightly so oil coats sides of pan. Pour batter into the
skillet then return to oven. Reduce heat to 350°. Bake cornbread for 35
to 45 minutes, until it pulls away from sides of pan and is lightly
browned.
Cut into squares or wedges.

Talk about heavenly!!!
