  1. Where’s the Bacon? I hope and pray that both the cornbread and beans have some good old bacon fat in them.

  2. That’s NOT how you do it ! Crumble the cornbread into the plate or bowl, then ladle the beans and their soup onto the cornbread. Geez, Ced; I thought you lived in the south before !

  3. Yah, that is pretty much what we are all going to be eating (minus bacon) in order to be able to pay our gas and electric bills.

    My gas bill came in last week, I used 100,000 fewer cubic feet and paid about 30 dollars more than last year same period/number of days and my electric has almost doubled. That is a 300 dollar gas bill and 178 electric (wife is always cold, so uses a space heater in her cubbyhole).

    On a fixed income, something has to be reduced to deal with it so we may have to cut back on eating out or go downmarket, buy cheaper stuff at the super, fewer road trips and less impulse tool buying (waah!, and local merchants are all going suffer along with us. It has been a very long time since I had to budget to make ends meet seeing I lived on the road with expenses paid. Retired and here we are, the Carter years return with a vengeance.

  4. 1) there ain’t no soup in those beans; 2) Cornbread not crumbled up (thanks ChuckinBama); 3) No green tomato relish or onions. That’s what I say. Sacrilege.

    • Some one who eats okra, I don’t give them much credibility. Okra looks and tastes like it dripped out of an ox nose. There are onions in the beans.
