Oh boy

Ever since I blogged about those cast iron skillets and mentioned corn bread, I've been obsessing about (you guessed it) corn bread cooked in a cast iron skillet.

Well, in this house, corn bread is made to go with one of two things: potato soup or pinto beans. This time I've opted for beans. And by the way, here in Missouri, we never just "cook some beans". Oh no, we have ourselves "a big ole pot of beans" cooked with a ham hock or two. Or a ham bone, if we've recently indulged in a ham. Which we haven't lately.

Even though it's just Cliff and me, I can get by with cooking a large amount of beans because I have a deep freeze, and beans freeze very well. I love having something in the freezer that I can heat up in the microwave after a day of riding the motorcycle with Cliff.

So I've cooked my "big ole pot of beans", and we'll be having that with some delicious home-made corn bread tomorrow. If it all turns out well, I'll take pictures.

Because I'm nice like that.
