Dismal Sheep, Red Dirt and Cornbread
I’m continuing to love our farmer’s market. Yesterday, we got some cornmeal and some fresh pintos. The fresh ones don’t taste a thing like the dried ones, and they cook in about 30 minutes. So today, I made a pot of beans and a pan of cornbread. The cornbread was a big hit. It is really course, so it made for a pretty rustic taste and texture. I used this very basic cornbread recipe and added a couple of tablespoons of sugar so that it wouldn’t taste too rustic.
That glistening grease? Real butter. Mmmm.
I’ve been spending the day doing laundry, which includes washing out what must be some of the reddest dirt in the entire world. This weekend, Sage went fishing, and brought home plenty of it. For those unfamiliar with East Texas red dirt, this is what it looks like before it winds up in the laundry:
Lastly, here is a picture of what Greg calls my “dismal sheep”. I love my sheep!
