MEXICAN CORNBREAD
1 cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons sugar

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 medium onion, chopped

2 large FRESH jalopeno peppers, chopped

1/3 cup canned whole kernel corn (no juice)

3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Mix meal, flour, soda, baking powder,

salt, and sugar in a bowl and set aside.

In another bowl mix buttermilk, eggs, and oil.

Stir in the chopped onions, peppers, corn,

and grated cheese.

Add bowl of dry ingredients to these and mix well.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Spread 2 Tablespoons of oil in a 10-inch black

cast iron skillet and heat the skillet.

Put the mixture into the skillet (it should sizzle!)

and bake about 25 minutes.

It should be lightly brown on top and barely done in the middle. Immediately upon removing from the oven,

take a butter knife and go around the edges and

gently lift under toward the center as you go around. After just a bit, flip over onto a plate.

Note: The above is not HOT from the peppers.

If you like it real hot (yes, I do!), add more.

Also, I am sure it could be made in muffin pans, etc. CONTRIBUTED BY MB MEMBER "JEM"

When I went to one of the Banquets

that Dale use to make.

"LEMON MERINGUE PIE"

Once upon a time there was a singing cowboy who gave out over the airwaves from a radio station in New Mexico. All too often our hero was hungry---and there was no jingle-jangle in his pockets. So he fell into the habit of interspersing comments about food here and there on the program, mentioning the things he liked best to eat. With melting hearts, the ladies sent them in! Then one day a gal telephoned and said that if the would sing a certain song, two lemon pies would be delivered to the tourist court he called home. He did, and the gal delivered the lemon pies herself. The boy's name? Roy Rogers. And the gal? That's the story. Because not too long after, she became Mrs. Rogers--with Lemon pies making like cupids!
Now Roy Rogers is a Republic star (his latest picture is Utah) but he has never tired of
Mrs. R's lemon pie. So we asked her for the recipe,
for you, and here it is:

Lemon Meringue Pie
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, grated rind and juice
4 tbsp. flour
1 tablespoon margarine
1 cup water
3 eggs separated
Few grains salt
1 baked pie shell

Combine sugar and flour. Add a little of the water; mix smooth. Add beaten egg yolks. Add remaining water. Cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until thick.
Cover, cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat; add salt, grated lemon rind and juice, and margarine. Mix well. Cool slightly. Pour into baked (9-inch) pastry shell. Make a merinque of beaten egg whites and six tablespoons sugar. Swirl on pie.
Bake in moderately slow oven, 325 degrees, 20 minutes. Cool. Yield: 6 portions.
