Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire They're BACK, Beans and Rice that is

At least here in the outback.

Perhaps I shouldn't say anything. Don't want folks bringing the Corona here from the cities.



Anybody really jonesing for some, not just wishing to restock their hoard, let me know, maybe they'll still be there when I next go to town.

Rice and peas sounds good.

I bought a 2 pound bag of pintos Thursday. Cooked em today. Made a pan of cornbread. Yum!

Care to post yer cornbread recipe? I always have a helluva time making cornbread - not sure why.

I love beans and cornbread!

And beans with fried taters.

I told our local grocer to order me a case of black beans (their price is good enough to beat restaurant wholesalers when shipping is taken into consideration) about 4 weeks ago.

Yeah, that didn't happen.

But they're back in stock again, so I've been picking up a couple extra pounds more than I'll use immediately whenever I go in. Enough to build up a bit of a surplus, but not so much that it's going to seriously deprive others.

Now rice, I did get that before the coronapanic hit hard. A big bag here and there when on sale. Just use as normal in a FIFO queue.

Still can't buy any fresh garlic though. Using the minced stuff in a jar. It's all right I guess. Using it to make some Chili Verde in the Ninja Foodi as I type.

Red Beans and Rice is a staple dish around here. We do put sausage in it though. We've always eaten a lot of Depression era stuff because my wife and I were raised by Depression era parents. Hash is another staple. We use a lot of ground meat and taters. Beans and Rice. Eat a lot of chicken.

i'll bet at least half of the people who bought up all the beans have no fuggen idea how to make a dry bean edible and they'll be in the garbage within 6 months

Sheeeit,

is all the garlic gone too?

Fuggers think they're fighting off werewolves and vampires or something.

Mine is just poking up in the garden beds, be at least July before any are near ready to pick, if that early even.

Had to use the jarred stuff my wife likes for the convenience today in my lunch. When I licked the spoon it just isn't the same as fresh.

PS, speaking of rice, little sis down south had a rat get into a bag she had in the garage before she got it into a storage bin. She wasn't happy.

What do you wanna bet they'll be selling 5-10 pounds here and there at garage sales in a couple years

Hopefully they know how to use the internet.

For other than farcebook and gaming, that is

Geno

1cup cornmeal
A good tablespoon size dollop of lard
1tablespoon of baking powder
1tablespoon of sugar
A teaspoon of salt
An egg
Around a cup of milk

I cut the lard into the dry mix first

Preheat over to around 375-400f

I take a small cast iron frying pan and get about a tablespoon of lard hot in it on the stove top. So I pour the batter in it it may sizzle a bit. Then I shove it in the oven until its done. Probably about 12 to 15 min. Just keep an eye on it. You cant test it with a tootkpick in the middle. Enjoy.

Edit.
Ingredient amounts are approximate. Give or take a bit.

Gimme a sista, I cain’t resist her

Red beans and rice din’t miss her

Thats what we was raised on.

Little in da middle, but much in da back!

D A M N,

Get a bag of them split peas.




Maybe two if local restriction allow.

I made a pot of pintos a while ago. Kaywoodie beans protocol was followed.....ie Sow belly and lots of it.






They were good. Not too gassy either.


SPLIT PEAS on the other hand is biblical. Like book of Revelation's bad.


I do love them so......

Kaywoodie,

you keep posting them recipes and I'll be able to cook like I'm still in the 19th century. And that's not a bad thing, what with the Corona and all.

I have your biscuit one saved and just saved that cornbread one.

You have one for fritters, hush puppies, and hoe cakes?

Geno

I am no fan of split peas,

Anderson can keep every one.

Now, fresh snow peas are tasty enough.
