Thread: just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys..

It’s the secret elixir of southern kids (young and old lol). It’s made in a skillet and served over hot biscuits, preferably homemade, with a little butter. It’s utter ambrosia. Some have compared it to chocolate pudding, and granted it does taste a little like that. Some add water to their recipe, but this video is more like my Mom used to make it. I still haven’t figured out linking videos yet, so I’ll just post a link.

Thanks so very much Freebird!

Sunday dinner: fried Venison backstrap; mashed potatoes & flour gravy.

Edit: don’t know why the original post said blackstrap- it should’ve read backstrap. Edited to correct this spelling error, be it fat finger syndrome or autocorrects fault. Either way it’s spelled-it tasted good

Back Ribs off the kanayama smoker, stoked with apple wood.

Use the keg spice as a base and the local rub for added kick.

5 hours later, 6 half racks to share.
Cheers men.

Blackstrap molasses?

Nope, spritzed with apple cider vinegar often then mopped with baby ray rib sauce..
Sticky delicious fall off bone results, but still drippy moist.

Corn bread to be covered with chili Only honey for sugar.

Done right ,Tim. Always a cast iron skillet for corn bread.
Nothing else can match it.

I inherited Mom’s cast iron skillets. She had one that was used for nothing but cornbread, a griddle and a small Dutch oven.

A year or two ago a distant cousin’s wife passed away. I happened to be talking to him one day and he mentioned tossing some of their cookware in the trash. (He’s downsizing) I replied ‘not cast iron I hope!’ He said he thought he’d tossed a skillet. I told him never throw away cast iron because it’ll last a lifetime if cared for properly. (Just like straight razors) He dug it out of the trash sack and it was a nearly new Lodge 10 1/4 inch skillet. I cleaned it up and it’s now my gravy skillet.

For desert.

Popcorn on the cob in the microwave.

I don't know if I will do this again but......
