cornbread mixture into the hot oil to fry. Drop in about 6-7 depending
on skillet/ black pot size, careful not to over crowd the pot. Turn hushpuppies at intervals until a bayou brown color. Serve as an appetizer or with your favorite seafood! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Panderina Soumas tells us.... The Hushabye lullaby was a slavery tradition throughout many southern plantations. Sung by slave women tending to their "massas" children in the big house. It protests their being forcibly separated from their own children. "Pour little lamb" of the second verse makes a strong sweet lullaby statement against a prevailing myth slaves were content with their slave quarters and better off than they'd been in Africa. Many slave songs and spirituals frequently had a dual and/or coded meaning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
