Re: Friday dinner
Dinner at Mom's house. Homemade vegetable soup with cornbread and onions...a taste of the tomato pie that I baked earlier to use up some of her tomatoes. Vegetable soup was wonderful..but isn't Mom's cooking always good? The tomato pie was good..just a little too rich. I think I'll play around with the recipe a bit more if I make it again. Ok, gotta go...I smell blackberry cobbler baking in the oven. Sigh...it's always great to come home to Mom:p
Re: Friday dinner
I love blackberry cobbler. Your dinner sounds great. I must try the tomato pie recipe. I've never had that.

Re: Friday dinner
Ok, no longer Friday night..it's now Saturday night. Still in Kentucky at my mom's house...the house I grew up in. Isn't it weird that no matter how old we are...when we're with our parents...once again, we're kids.
Dinner tonight was fresh green beans..cooked helpless as the ladywhowaits would call them...fried corn, new potatoes, fried green tomatoes and once again...corn bread and a sliced onion. For dessert...everyone else is having leftover blackberry cobbler...me, I'm going for the watermelon and canteloupe that's been in the fridge calling my name.
Oh...she also fixed fried pork chops..but after all of those veggies..meat was the last thing on my mind.

Re: Friday dinner
OMG! How do you make fried corn? My grandmother used to live in Kentucky and she made fried corn. She never told us how she made it and I MISS IT SOOO MUCH. I realize yours might not be the same, but please tell me how you make it.kcdixiecat wrote:Dinner tonight was fresh green beans..cooked helpless as the ladywhowaits would call them...fried corn, new potatoes, fried green tomatoes

Re: Friday dinner
Ok...it's pretty simple. Cut the corn off of the cob...put it in an iron skillet with bacon grease (it's the best..but you can use oil if you like)...a little bit of water and a little bit of sugar and salt...a tsp is plenty...put a lid on it and let it steam..when you think it's done..take the lid off and let it cook down until it's greasy! It really is great stuff.dragongrrl wrote:OMG! How do you make fried corn? My grandmother used to live in Kentucky and she made fried corn. She never told us how she made it and I MISS IT SOOO MUCH.

Re: Friday dinner
Thanks. After I asked you, I googled. It's funny but you forget the power of the Internets. After my grandmother died unexpectedly, we all talked about all her recipes that we wished we'd gotten. The Internet was not around. So when you mentioned it, it was like OMG! Someone else knows about fried corn! Sorry I got so freaked out. It was a bit of a time warp thing, y'know.
Enjoy Kentucky. I always did.

Re: Friday dinner
Grins..I am from here. I lived in the same town until about 3 years ago when I moved to Kansas City, MO...then a year later...he moved me again..grins..we've been in New Orleans since last September. It's weird..I loved KC ..but it never felt like home. New Orleans has felt like home since we first vacationed there about ten years ago. I love coming home to see my mom and my kid that is in college here..but after a few days..I'm ready to get back to New Orleans.
