I can more than likely get there early enough on Friday to cook a mess of catfish for supper.

You got the right idea as far as keeping pintos simple, but salt pork is for pintos. ham hock is for Navy and butter beans.

And I do add a couple secret ingredients to a pot of beans.

You surely ain't - bein' a transplant and all - challenging a bred and born Texan to a bean cook off or you?grin

Dutch ovens make killer cornbread, too.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
