Watching the fluffy snow fall! 1+ inch of snowy slush was predicted....there are now 4+ of snow on the ground!

Well it does look pretty.  We have rain, sleet and snow.  Looks like they were a little off on the accumulation.  Winter is not my favorite season.  I like a white Christmas. so it can snow the day before and leave the day after.

Nope!! I'm intrigued! We have chicken flavor crackers but not chips.

 

 

The best flavour chips are chicken... always my favourite... and we even have 'chicken' salt that we put on hot chips.... OK think I better clarify... in Aus we call crisps chips and we call fries chips... see...

 

Anyway in Australia chicken flavoured chips sell more than any other flavour... these are my faves...

 

But these are the kids favourite....

 

 

We even have chicken flavoured popcorn....

How confusing... Two lots of chips...I will have to be clear on my visit...which chips I actually do want ...otherwise I could get anything lol...

including two trouser-splitting incidents

at shows in Croydon and Luton in January 1965

that scandalized the British press and public[4]

OH it seems your daughter has lead to to believe lies... our fish n chips shops don't have mushy peas.... .... we have potato cakes, and some have pumpkin cakes, and we have dimmies (dim sims) and chicko rolls, and sping rolls, and sea shanties, and deep fried battered scallops and prawns and crab sticks (which aren't really crab) but no mushie peas we do have pickled onions though.

9" Cast Iron Skillet Corn Bread

 

1 c white flour

1 c yellow cornmeal (get the freshest stone ground that you can find)

1 tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 eggs (beaten)

1 cup half and half, or a milk yoghurt or sour cream combo or just milk.

1/4 cup butter 

1 bag frozen corn

 

preheat oven to 425

Thaw, drain and dry with towel corn.

Melt a few tbsp butter in 9" cast iron skillet and slowly brown corn.

When brown thrown the rest of the butter in to melt.

 

In a bowl mix flour, cornmeal, b. powder, salt.

add corn/butter mix, combine lightly.

Gently fold in beaten eggs and milky combo.

 

Glop batter into 9" cast iron skillet, shake to level.

Bake at 425 for 30 minutes.  Check at 20 minutes.

Toothpick stuck in,  comes out clean = done.

 

v. yum hot out of oven drenched in butter.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cranberry/Orange Relish

You need a food processor for this.

 

1 bag of fresh cranberries

1 or 2 oranges (look for equal amounts cranberry/orange)

Wash and pick through cranberries, slice up whole oranges (including skin).

 

Pulse everybody in the processor.

 

Really good with the turkey business but, I like it also in yoghurt.  @BAT would like this on Ice Cream.

It freezes really well and is delicious in the summertime.

My husband loves cast iron corn bread.  He has some great recipes.  He will love to make this one.  He is the king of cast iron cooking.   

We are celebrating our Thanksgiving Saturday, which means I still have time to try the Cranberry/Orange Relish.  I have a feeling my son would love that!  Thanks for the recipes.
