Cornpone - The Cornmeal

Hoover's

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.4

Someone from my job asked me for the recipe for cornpone. I had to make it tonight so I could write it down. We grew up on it in my family. 

The first thing about it is the meal. It has to be fine white corn meal. Hoover's that you see in the picture can only be found in my region, as it's ground in my home town of Chipley, FL. I looked all over Birmingham, AL one time and couldn't find it.  Dixie Lily, I think, makes a fine white corn meal too that would probably work fine.

I downloaded all these pics from my phone. You can only do one at a time. Apologies.

TOSHIBA 1625CDT LAPTOP

I really dig this old tank of a laptop. A year or so ago I tried different linux distros on it and again recently ran some live cds. Slitaz and lucid puppy ran pretty well, but since the usb port is shot on it I needed to add some peripherals via pcmcia cards (i.e.usb port, wireless card). So basically, good ol' windows xp made the cut. There is a way to add peripherals with linux, but I'm just not interested in messing with it. Surprisingly, Internet Explorer 8 works better than anything I've tried for internet stuff.

It's perfect for the writing I want to do and have picked up again. Truly love using old equipment that still has life in it, and since it's not really for many online chores, it's just as fast as anything else.

Still loving the smartphone. Listening right now, by way of Pandora, to Bessie Smith radio.
Peace!

Cracker Cattle?

Neat looking steer with moss draped live oak backdrop. On my way home from the farm... Feeling sad about Uncle Macky and Aunt 'Liz'beth...

The Snuggle

Well I figured out how to add photos, so the blogging might pick up again. I like its diary like attributes, and basically it helps me remember my life. Yikes! I can't remember anything anymore!

Pic is of Coco and Festus in a rare snuggle.

Peace
