HUSH PUPPIES

HUSH PUPPIES

2 C Self-Rising Corn Meal Mix
1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1 C buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1 onion, diced
1/8 tsp salt
vegetable oil

Pour enough oil in a cast iron fryer to cover.  Heat oil to Medium High.  Stir first 6 ingredients together until well mixed.  Using a melon baller, drop batter into hot oil.  Fry in small batches so that the hush puppies do not stick together.  Fry until golden brown; drain on paper towels before serving.

 2013 A-Z Reading Challenge

 


Do you love to read?  You know I do!  Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book is hosting a reading challenge for 2013.This challenge will run from January 1st, 2012 until December 31st, 2013.

You can join anytime. It’s an alphabet challenge!!! The challenge is to read one book starting with every letter of the alphabet. 


So there are two different ways you can set up your own A-Z Reading Challenge.


A -  Make a list on your blog from A-Z. Throughout the year, as you go along, add the books you are reading to the list. Towards the end of the year, you can check and see which letters you are missing and find books to fit.


OR


B - Make a list now of 26 books, picking one for each letter of the alphabet. For example: A – The Azalea Assault B- Blue Monday C – Crops and Robbers D – A Deadly Grind etc.



Books can be read in any order and all formats – print – e-book – audio – are acceptable for this challenge!
