June 22, 2009: Blue Moon Cornbreads, Roasted Pork Loin, and Carroty Apply Goodness

Most of the main table, June 22, 2009Nice moments from this week:
> The arrival of an unexpected cold bottle of champagne, and the way so many people said, taking a glass to share a small sip, "I never turn down champagne."
> The way one of the shorter Supperians reached for the bite-sized muffins labeled "Carroty Apply Goodness" and said to me, "I love these."
> Seeing newcomers each week, and seeing others who come often; enjoying new connections and reconnections.

Foods we enjoyed:
  • Carroty Apply Goodness (of course)
  • Watermelon Soup with garnishes (goat cheese, fresh mint)
  • (The famous) Beets, Apples, Celery, Red Onion, Marinated in Garlic & Ginger w/dusting of curry
  • Roasted Pork Loin
  • Pesto Cilantro & Noodles (No Nuts)
  • Whole-wheat pasta with tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, etc.
  • Beans w/vinaigrette
  • Bread Salad - Italian
  • Blue Moon Cornbread w/Stone Cross Bacon; garlic, shallots, leeks, and Kenny's Swiss & Cheddar
  • Blue Moon Cornbread vegetarian: garlic, shallots, leeks, and Kenny's Swiss & Cheddar
  • Lemon Cornmeal Poundcake, from Cornbread Gospels

    I love it! Have just learned of your suppers from Michelle Bennett. I'm currently 10 mos. pregnant (whew!), due any day...but would LOVE to join you after we regain our balance post-baby. We also read Nola.com, so we must have lots in common...

Boone Tavern Spoon Bread, the 1950s recipe

We have tried spoonbreads (soft, luscious, buttery—described by James Beard as a "heavy, dense soufflé") as Cornbread Supper mainstays before, and used great recipes, but the spoonbreads always did what spoonbreads (and soufflés) do: deflate. Through serendipity, and thanks to a Cornbread Supperian, I lucked into the old Boone Tavern (Berea College) recipe for spoonbread, and it is far less droopy. Perhaps Boone Tavern developed an approach to spoonbread that preserves all its goodness while still working for a busy restaurant. In any case, with thanks to Kentucky food and foodways author and guru John van Willigen, here's an excellent recipe for that can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled to feed spoonbread to a crowd. It did just that on Monday, February 25, 2013. From Richard T. Hougen. Look No Further: A cookbook of favorite recipes from Boone Tavern Hotel, Berea College, Kentucky.

Nine Years of Cornbread Suppers, Plus a few FAQs for new people

Cornbread Supper, spring 2018 As Cornbread Supper celebrates its ninth anniversary, if you aren't already coming, here are a few answers to questions you may have. You're always invited.  No RSVP necessary. All are welcome.  Bring a dish or a bottle to share, or just come. Bring a good listening ear, children, friends, a bright spirit, a good story. There's a lot more specific information on this website: look in the sidebars and you may find answers to your questions. New people come almost every week. We do have corn-something on the table every week. Usually it's Kentucky black skillet cornbread, vegetarian and naturally gluten-free. Cornbread Suppers tend to start very close to 6 PM. If you come later, you will probably find things to eat, but there may not be many options. Every once in a while, especially in July and August but other times as well, something will change and Cornbread Supper will not be at 250 Campsie Place in Lexington, Kentucky at ...
