Why Don’t I Own a Skillet?
It occurred to me today that I might not be a real southern wife/mom. I was screwing around on Pinterest and saving pins of comfort foods when I realized, I don’t even own a cast iron skillet! WTH?
How can I claim to be southern born and bred and not even have the tools to make a good skillet cornbread? I’ve been living a lie.
Is it too late for me? I’m nearly 50 and I’ve barely learned to use the microwave. I’m a horrible cook. Except Mac & Cheese. Can I tell you a secret? I sold Pampered Chef for years when my kids were little. I did it for all the freebies and half priced cooking tools. And I never cooked! I was addicted to the products. Lol
Back to Pinterest. You should see all the recipes I’ve saved to try. My family is astonished when I do try a new recipe. But now I know I have to go out and buy a cast iron skillet. I need to channel my 96 year old grandmother and whip up a cake of cornbread. (She’s still alive at the time of this writing). Maybe I could have her taste test my cornbread. As long as she doesn’t call me Shelly or Mandy. Those are my cousins.
Sometimes she forgets I’m her favorite. It happens.
Bring that cornbread cake to Thanksgiving, Mandy!;)
