Never heard of this item ,,"Corn Pone" but sounds interesting.. Will definitely give it a test drive, and see,,, (taste) Need to get some more corn meal. I only have a small quantity that I dust the pans when I make pizzas, and some breads.
This recipe calls for total stovetop making. The other recipes, that I came across,, called for baking in oven. I guess it can be done both ways. We don't eat bacon, so that portion is out of my reach. Will try with olive oil instead. A long time ago.. I had a negative experience with vegetable oil,,, That stuff is also off limits in my kitchen.
Wonder how this would taste using butter??? I always like to experiment.

If need be, that recipe could be cooked on a camp stove outside if your electric goes out. They will be doing away with all the gas stoves.

I had a good first tomato plant sale. Met a lot of neighbors that were very happy to see there was still a sale even though it is about a month later than usual (it was my neighbor's sale for 20 years, but she moved to OH). Buying her signs (and being right next door) was key - everyone recognizes those signs so I have built-in customers.

Did you get any yet? I don't see why you couldn't use butter to cook them in. I use butter when I make grilled cheese sandwiches to go with some tomato soup.

No,,, no store run today. But I did make some chicken tacos... Not sure If I'm the only soul to make such???
Diced up rotisserie chicken,. Opened up Taco Seasoning Mix from envelope. I also added some Chili seasoning into that. (about 1 tablespoon) Mixed those 2 ingredients into about 2 cups of cold water, Brought to boil, and simmered the diced chicken for a while. Chicken was already cooked,, but wanted the seasonings to permeate the meat. All on soft corn tortillas of course. I also topped with some diced potatoes, Cooked quinoa, Thailand purple rice, and Mexican 3 Shredded cheese...
No grass,, (AKA. lettuce)
Here is a pix I took at dinner time.
