I'm cooking barbecue pork ribs. A customer gave them to me. Frozen and ready to cook so I will be eating them soon.

Right now I'm eating some sugar. Should be hard candy but the sugar is convenient. That's fuel for my heater. When you are poor you are your heater.

I found that brisket roast is cheap enough for an occasional treat if you can get the big one. Usually cooked for a zillion years at low temp but I found that a couple of hours in the pressure cooker and 20 minutes in the oven for browning is fast and pretty good.

I baked cornbread and I'm eating some now with butter on it.

Cornbread

4 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup melted shortening
3 cups yellow corn meal
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder

I prefer animal fat or shortening with animal fat. Bacon grease is great for this.
I use self rising flour and 1/2, maybe 1, teaspoon baking powder.
You can add an extra egg if you want to.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Beat eggs, add milk, stir, then add the melted shortening. Mix remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add to egg mixture and stir. Pour into greased number 8 iron skillet. Bake until it shrinks from the sides of the skillet, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add a few minutes baking time and maybe a little milk at high altitude.

I did Hominy

You need corn hominy

Image

Then leave it soak for five hours.
Then cook on a pot with a lot of water (3x the volume of the hominy itself)
When it gets soft you take away and put on a bowl with milk and sugar.

If you want you can put also powder cinnamon (just as spice)

It should look like:

My sister can't have gluten which is in wheat and many grains and products. I make pies for Thanksgiving and Christmas family gatherings but since the gluten problem was discovered that is more difficult. Recipes for pie crusts with exotic grains usually don't work well.

Most people with gluten problems have Celiac disease. My sister does not have that and her sensitivity to gluten is not so drastic as that. If you know someone with Celiac disease be extremely careful about cleaning everything you use to cook for them including tables, cutting boards, ... anything that might have any flour etc. from previous use.

Here's the best I've found for a 9" gluten free pie crust.

1/2 cup shortening or lard, maybe a little more, be sure it is gluten free
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups milled flax seed, maybe a little more
some water

Mix the flax, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Mix in the shortening in. Squishing it with your hands is easiest. Then add about 1/2 tablespoon of water and squish some more. Add more water if needed. Keep a butter knife handy to get the bulk of the mixture off of your hands. You should be clean so just put it back in the bowl. Use paper towels to get the shortening off of your hands.

The milled flax seed is coarse. You have to make the crust thicker than a flour crust would be. It is dark brown with light specks. It has a good but strong taste raw but when baked it is mild. It seems slightly more resistant to burning than flour.

Now the tough part. Rolling the crust out between sheets of wax paper won't work. You can't put flower on the paper (gluten), using flax instead doesn't work well, and the crust mixture is very sticky. You have to grease the pie pan with shortening or lard and press the crust mix onto it with your fingers.

The crust will be crumbly compared to a regular one.

You can substitute milled flax seed for flour in most recipes.

wow finis... pie with enuff fibre to clean out the Eerie canal.... :)

an old girlfriends father was gluten and lactose intolerant so we had to be careful making dinner as well.

most of the baking we did used rice or brown rice flour but also potato flour and ground nut flours.

If you would like I will try to find some of the old recipes...

plz lemme know

Thanks V3rd3. My sister has lots of recipes for gluten free stuff. Don't know if she tried potato flour. Rice flour things seemed good when store bought but she has no luck making them. I'd appreciate a few recipes with those.

The pies seem to have a burning problem with the unusual flours or nuts. I tried all sorts of things and the flax doesn't burn so that's why I use it for crusts.

A few quick questions then....

what kind of oven do you use for baking... gas/electric....

where do you put your racks in the oven for baking pies....

what kind of baking dish... glass/aluminum

what size of baking dish do you usually use .... 9" , 10"


quick suggestion for reducing the chance of burning your crust would be to line your baking tin/dish with parchment paper....

depending on the filling you could try to dampen it with a bit of water to steam the crust while baking ...

I will dig around for recipes.... post some soon

-- 10" for Christmas or Thanksgiving. Otherwise usually 9" or what recipe is for.
A customer gave me peaches from their tree so I'm baking a peach pie.

Peach Pie

Crust, top and bottom:
1.5 cups flour
0.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 cups shortening
A little water

Mix the flour, salt, and shortening. Then add water a little at a time until the dough stays in a ball. Divide into two balls. Roll out one and place in greased 9" pie pan. The other is for the top. If you want strips on top the make that ball smaller that the bottom one.

I added some ground flax seed. It gives some flavor and makes a nice speckled look.

Filling:
2.5 cups sliced peaches
1 cup sugar (pretty sweet try less if you prefer)
0.25 teaspoons salt

Stir and pour into pan. Add top crust. Bake 400 F for 15 minutes, 350 F for 45 minutes.

For this pie I added 4 or 5 minutes for high altitude, used about 0.75 cups of sugar instead of 1, and cooked between 325 F and 350 F for the lower temp time since some crust might have burned. I also realized that I used self rising flour with baking powder. Worked so no problem.

Thanks Froo. Steinie, birthday peach pie! Mmmmm.

Baking coffee can bread. I have a recipe from a newspaper from somewhere in Texas in the 1960's I think (original in drawer or such so don't have date).

3 to 3.25 cups flour
1 package dry yeast 0.25 oz
0.5 cup milk
0.5 cup water
0.5 cup oil
0.25 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Stir together 1.5 cups flour and yeast. Heat milk, water, oil, sugar, and salt until warm. It should not be too hot to keep your finger in it. Pour into yeast and flour mixture and stir about 300 strokes. Stir in eggs. Add the rest of the flour and stir about 150 strokes. Put into 2 greased one pound coffee cans. Let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 F). Bake in preheated oven at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Cool in cans for 15 minutes. Tasty with butter.

There's not nearly enough coffee in that recipe as I thought there would be.

My go-to birthday cake is pineapple-upside-down cake.
Anything that starts with melting at least a half stick of butter in a pan is all right with me. Good thing it's only once a year.

I got vine ripened tomatoes from a customer's plants and made this spaghetti sauce. Recipes called for blanching the tomatoes and removing the skins but I left the skins on. I cut damaged spots and ends and cut them in quarters to check for internal problems. Then I put them in the blender. I browned most of a garlic bulb, chopped, in a deep skillet and cooked two pounds of pork sausage in it. Then I added the blended tomatoes, some tomato paste, Italian Seasoning flakes, and a chopped onion and let that simmer. I put 2/3 of it on two pounds of egg noodles and froze the rest.

Apple pie made from apples from customer's trees. Prepared enough apple slices to fill the pie pan. Added about quarter cup of brown sugar, some cinnamon, spread bits of butter in it, and put the top crust on. Cook about 400F for 10 or 15 minutes then at 350F until the top crust is golden and solid when tapped with a spoon. Plenty more apples. I'll prep them for pies and freeze.

Get pickled Serrano peppers. Slice two or three 2.5 inch long ones and put them in 40 or 50 ounces of tomato soup. Put a tablespoon or two of the juice from the can in there too. They're a bit hotter than Jalapenos so don't put to much. This isn't to make the soup hot it is to get an interesting flavor.

Who has an interesting but not too fancy recipe for chile rellenos?

I have not had chipotle peppers. I will now live blog tasting them.

They are in abodo sauce. Don't know if I've had that. Tasting sauce, pretty hot like the hot enchilada sauce at local restaurants. Sauce has an odd flavor. Don't know how to describe it. Not bad but not pleasant either. Smells good. Biting a pepper, same odd flavor, not much meat, lots of seeds. About as hot as a medium or hot jalapeno. The sauce and the pepper tastes the same. Slicing one. Putting in a tortilla with a sausage and some sauce. Microwave a little. That changed the flavor. Tasty compliment to the sausage.

chipotle pepper = smoked jalapeno pepper

One of my favorite go to, a little dab goes a long way to many recipes.

One can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce.
Grind, smash, blend into paste.
Top off with cooking oil and store in refrigerator.

"chipotle pepper = smoked jalapeno pepper" I did not know that trueBlue.

Pumpkin pie made from a pumpkin. 1 2/3 cups evaporated milk. 2 eggs. 2 cups pumpkin. 1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar. Spices as you prefer. Cook 425F for 15 minutes then 350F for 45 minutes or until a knife in the middle is clean. Prepare the pumpkin: use a cooking pumpkin of about 7 inches diameter. Cut into a few large slices. Clean off the seeds. Steam until the pumpkin can be scraped from the skin. This makes 2 cups or more. You can freeze this.

Tasty! A customer gave me the meat. I mostly used this recipe. Doubled it for about three pounds of meat. No wine. Didn't have rosemary or onion powder.
Some nice sourdough biscuits and honey would go well with that.

The crazy people took all of the spaghetti sauce and most of the meat at the stores.* I have tomato paste and egg noodles. Improvising, I got some pork sausage instead of ground beef and a packet of marinara spices for the paste. Now to find out how much paste equals an amount of crushed tomatoes.

*This is at the time of the covid virus thing. Dumb people, drama queens, etc. bought large amounts of stuff to hoard.

Make pumpkin pie from a pumpkin. Use your own recipe to make filling from this.

Made these because it was one of Mom's go-to Christmas baked goodies.
The recipe is for an 8X8 inch pan but I highly recommend just doubling the amounts called for in the recipe and use a 9 X 11 inch pan.
I used pitted dates (saves a lot of work).
Pro tip: once they have softened up from boiling (keep stirring to avoid scorching) use a potato masher to break the dates up. You're aiming for a smooth-ish consistency.
Use a large bowl to mix the 'dough', especially if you double the recipe. I used a stiff whisk to break up the butter before mixing thouroughly with my hands.
I bought a 40 ounce bag of pitted dates @ Costco and used about half a bag for the double batch.
Let it cool and have the first piece(s) while it is still warm. Store in fridge, a sprinkle of water and 20 seconds in microwave will restore your next piece(s) to full glory.
If you try it let me know what you think!
Apologies for using Freedom Units of measurement, adjust accordingly to your metric locale.

@Spacekdet Hand written recipes are best. I might try these date bars.

Enchiladas. I have not made enchiladas before. Mmmm.
Enchiladas-1-6-22.jpg
https://laspalmassauces.com/recipe/mmmchiladas I used about 3/4 the meat and cheese in the recipe. I added 3 pickled jalapeno slices in each one. Next time I'll use bacon grease to cook the tortillas.

I wanted to get a big brisket roast and pressure cook it. They used to be cheap. $$ now so the large brisket would be too much to spend at once and not a bargain. A smaller choice Angus pot roast was only a little more per pound so I got that. Mmmm. An expensive treat but good. Used the broth from it to cook rice.

Sign of the economic times: Cheap brand, empty shelf. Regular brand hardly touched. It's cheap or nothing.

Food safari. One dozen Walmart eggs is now now $5.44. More than a pound of ground beef. I can no longer say, "eggs are the poor man's meat". Got some things there then went to the "party member's store",(Lowes, carpet!) looking for eggs and cheap raisin bran. They had brown eggs for half WM's white egg price? What's so special about WM eggs? I went to Mormon land (Albertson's) and they had cheap raisin bran.

I used the last of my bacon grease. Bacon is only for oligarchs now so shortening.

Pumpkin pie.
