It might help sometimes if I go back and read all those other pages before barking out! LOL The cornbread recipe is simple and I think someone else already posted it but here's THE DOGS: (I don't measure) Two or so scoops of self-rising cornmeal, one scoop of flour, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of shortening (if you ain't got lard) and one spoon of sugar (was accused of this being Yankee but I like it anyway) preheat your over with your black skillet in it (and make sure you have coated the black skillet with shortening) then bake at 350 till you think it's done or a fork will stand up in it. As for okra, squash and fried green tomatoes, first SOAK all of the above in salt water, then dip in egg batter, THEN roll in a mixture of cornbread and a little flour, then have your grease on the stove on high, drop one in and if it sizzles you can start dropping em in. And I am typing this while I have the flu and can't eat a **** thing! Now that is group devotion! THE DOG
