Refried Beans

Posted by Shirleen McCorkle  

Shirleen, FANTASTIC, reminded of way back when. 1930's and up. You must remeber beans of any kind were called "man fruit" when I was a kid. I made these today as written. The Women folk when I was a kid used Lard instead of butter or Marjorine (... — Firehousecook AKA Cap'n Jack Oct 7, 2009

My Bride and I agree with all the positive reviews. Very easy and very satisfying. Next time I am going to use Tuna in place of the Chicken. Also, the Mushroom idea sounds good. Thanks for the recipe. C/J — Firehousecook AKA Cap'n Jack Sep 22, 2009

Oklahoma Joe's Rib Rub

Posted by KC_Cooker

Buttermilk Pancakes

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Sweet PQ?  

VERY good. I have found that letting the batter rest for about 15-20 minutes before cooking causes the cakes to be even lighter and fluffier than using it right away. Also, don't over beat when mixing the batter. This is a keeper. Thank you. Cap'n... — Firehousecook AKA Cap'n Jack Jul 11, 2009
