Here is Paula Deen's recipe for Turnip Greens with Cornmeal Dumplings from the Food Network site: 3/4 pound smoked meat (smoked turkey wings are excellent) 4 quarts water 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows 2 chicken bouillon cubes 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1 bunch turnip greens with roots 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 1 teaspoon sugar (optional; may be used if greens are bitter) Cornmeal Dumplings, recipe follows Place smoked meat in water along with House Seasoning, bouillon, and ginger. Cook over low heat for 1 1/2 hours. Strip turnip leaves free of the big stem that runs down the center of each leaf. Wash in a sink full of clean water. Drain and wash twice more, since greens can often be sandy. Peel and slice or quarter roots. Add greens to meat; cook for another 30 minutes, stirring often. Add roots and continue to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until roots are tender. (Reserve 2/3 cup turnip liquid for the dumplings.) Add butter and sugar. Serve with dumplings. House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Cornmeal Dumplings 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 small onion, chopped 1 egg 2/3 cup liquid from cooked turnips Mix all ingredients together. Dipping by teaspoonfuls, gently roll batter in the palms of your hands into approximately 1-inch balls; drop into boiling turnip liquid Make sure each dumpling is completely covered in liquid by shaking the pot gently; do not stir. Boil for about 10 minutes.

Think she has a cooking show. She's a southern gal. Anyhow, Larry asked her son what his favorite meal was. I thought he said fried pork chops and then I couldn't catch if he said dropped cornbread dumplings or corn bread and dropped dumplings. Does anyone know is there is a cornbread dumpling? Also never heard dropped dumplings. If there is a cornbread dumpling sure sounds as though it would be good. Anyone else catch that show?
