Even in the 1950s it was common for Oklahoma families to have pinto beans and cornbread for dinner once a week.

Maybe a hold-over...or a reminder.

In 2012, it's common in some households in N. Texas a couple of times a week, because the economy is in the crapper.

I make a good hot water cornbread.

1950's....I still have it but, not as often as in the 40,50 or 60's.

My mother used to make a crispy fried corn bread that was outta-sight with our beans and raw onions and peppers...a tall glass of sweet tea or fresh milk.
