Yep, husband’s mother and grandmother’s iron skillets are in my possession. Four total, ranging in sizes. Bou and Mo will have to decide who gets what. These devine cooking vessels severed up many an ancestors’ fixn’s i.e.: corn bread, bacon and eggs and good old fried chicken.

You definitely got the prize. There is nothin’ like cooking in a well seasoned good old fashioned cast iron skillet.
I keep rereading that part about your 1st cousin. Good Lord.

I have my grandmother’s cast iron pan she brought with her when she came her in 1901. I’ve gone through 3 wives, but I still have that skillet.

My mom was from St. Joseph, MO (where Jesse James met his maker). She made the best damn cornbread in the world. I now know that we had navy bean soup and cornbread because we were dirt poor when I was a kid, but I’d take some of that home cookin’ over a fancy fillet mignon any day!

I love a good cast iron skillet myself. Not so keen on cornbread though. I used to make Irish soda bread in mine.

I’m fixing Christina’s okra recipe tonight.
Would you consider posting recipe for your cornbread? I’m not getting the hang of it…mine is too dry.
I have old skillet.

I’ve got my grandmother’s cast iron. Best cookware ever. That 12″ skillet is blacker than the pits of hell, and slicker than goose shit on ice. I give it a scrub with coarse salt and hot water every so often, and then dry it over a low flame.
I’ll kill the person that puts soap on it! That would be some seriously bad fuckin’ juju.

I just had cornbread for the first time recently, my son made it for me from scratch. It was delicious! Enjoy your cornbread.
