Well Goodness Gracious!
I thought you gave up and ended your thread, as I have not recieved any Pings in at least a month or so!
I did a search and see You are still hard at it! Great!
I must have fallen off your pingy thingy... so here’s a BUMP so I can find it again...
BTW Granny, it’s amazing how fortuitous this thread is since you started it! Food and fuel prices have near doubled in that time!
Thanks again for doing this!

LOL, I thought everyone was tired of my posting and about gave up.
Time goes so fast for me, a day is several, all short, between trips back to bed, so I have no conception of ‘a month’.
You are correct, June 15th was the last ping note, where did a month go ?
The thread has gone so many directions, that I have no idea of where to point it to next, any suggestions?
Cheap and simple appears to be what is needed, I know it is for me.
I read a hint yesterday, that I think is workable.
There is no way I have the strength to make tortillas, but a writer suggests that in the summer, instead of baking her cornbread, she makes the dough thinner and makes pancakes, which she uses in her layered casseroles/mex dishes and that the kids like them with butter and syrup.
That is what I did when we were prospecting every weekend, for several years, they are wonderful on the campfire.
But think what a couple hours in a crockpot, with lots of cheese, onions, corn and layers of beans would do........a granny mess, that is so often better tasting, than a ‘fancy proper meal’.
There is no end to what could go in the layers, between the corn meal pancakes..........
LOL......
The recipe starts:
Make a cornbread pancake as big as the bottom of your lightly greased crockpot, place something good on top, about a half inch to an inch deep and season, add another corn cake and continue, until you stop, with different goodies in the spaces between corn cakes..........until you decide to stop.
This will/should freeze well, so isn’t a one trick meal and will be made as fast as the corn cakes cook, so won’t take a lot of time.
Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or less, unless there is raw meat, which I would not use in this one.
A good way to hide left overs, or use layers of corn, squash, beans, cooked taco meats, with lots of cheese, onion, mushrooms and olives, added to the layers, top with a pancake.
Needs stewed tomatoes and salsa in there some where or on the side and lots of raw vegs in a salad.
How is your cooking doing?
Have you mastered all your new toys?
Time for you to share some of your recipes.
