barney's Cheap Eatin' Thread

Interesting. Something basic that I became accustomed to down in Jamaica were called johnny cakes; although, they are not cakes, at all. My favorite, though, is called Hardo Bread (hard dough). It is simply delicious with either just butter, peanut butter, or especially with guava jelly. It can now be acquired up here in specialty stores. Although I did learn how to prepare johnny cakes, and they are quite simple, I have never been taught how to make the latter but would love to learn, simply because it is delicious and extremely filling.

Lol, cannot say that I would have interest, either. I simply do not possess a passion for it and consider all nothing more than a necessary task. I am thankful to have had excellent teachers, though, as I am sure your offspring is, as well.

 

Just researched it for the first time seeing 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Spied this moments ago, taking a wild guess it's the real deal (looks to be, have yet to watch it).

 

It's cold, wet & just plain MISERABLE today so I had to come up with a good warm lunch... And couldn't resist playing with some more of my cast iron while I was at it. Home-canned venison stew & cornbread.





I ***REALLY*** like the way the wedges came out. I'd gotten a Lodge wedge pan a couple of years ago & nothing cooked right in it. Everything stuck no matter who much oil (or what kind) I used. I found this old Birmingham Stove & Range piece at an antique mall & decided to try it. Cornbread, brownies, whatever pop out beautifully with just a spritz of Pam to oil the pan. The Lodge pan is going out in our next yard sale!!!!


Not bad for a little heart pan I won at an auction for $7. It had never even been seasoned, much less used.


One of the first cast iron pieces I bought. It was covered in rust, sitting in a local what not store for $5. I brought it home & started researching how to clean it. Several hundred restored pieces later, I still use my first one for baking up extra batter.

 

Man,
Now I'm really wanting some cornbread LH.
Looks great

 

I tried it today and it worked! Thanks for the info. The bread was very much better, thank you!

 

That looks amazing! We just ate lunch & you've done made me hungry again already! lol!

Question for ya, have you ever tried Arkansas green beans? My daughter made them for Christmas & they are just unbelievably good & give a little different option from ye olde green bean casserole for special events....

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would hear someone say this ^^

 

Well he probably started with 4 dz.

 

Good deal, congrats, just keep tinkering with all until it's exactly as you desire. Just exited dentist and am waiting at a drive thru for three egg rolls and fried mushrooms, myself. Will see how it goes...
