My mother in law says I am an oldfashioned cook and I admit to being one. I try to make a pot of pintos a least once a month (I am the only one that really eats them). But cornbread, along with onions for the pintos, will satisfy me. My grandmother made wonderful biscuits every morning in that old wood stove. Nothing better but I still can's duplicate them. I think it may have been the lard that was the secret. My one cousin comes close though. I put a big spoonful of pintos on my biscuit one day and the MIL said she had seen it all and then I put my fried apples on the next one. Apples, a hot biscuit with butter, heaven!! Who needs dessert then. A cookbook would be great. Somebody start typing.!!

Of course the beans have to be cooked with "fat meat" or a "ham bone" and the Cornbread has to have a bit of bacon grease added to it. WOW what a flavor??? I prepare this meal at least twice a month. There has to be onions and real butter on the table. I have a really hard time trying to stop cooking like my Mother did, but it is just to hard to change.
