Been thinking on alot of things concerning food around this new year. while everyone says the same every new year about eating , right, and healthy and being green ( a locavore, carnivore, herbivore...choose your vore )& all the other bullshit we tell ourselves, as a person of indigenous ancestry i'm trying to eat more like my parents, grandparents, ggrands, gggrands and so forth ate. i like simple homefood. simple. YET most of it is just simple on the front end. all these delicious stuffs i am nostalgic for takes hella preparations. there is no short cut to any of it, unless you want it to taste that way.
Going through food issues like this can only be worked out by posting my favorite dishes of all time. woo hoo!

real hoe cakes
VS
pancakes masquerading as hoe cakes
don't let the small distinction fool ya. Hoe cakes are more cornmeal and less fried than pancakes or frybread. hoecakes are made with white corn meal not yellow. there are hotcakes that are made with yellow corn meal and no flour...
frybread is a whole 'nother story. yellow corn meal, fried til it's dead on the outside. pretty much.
