In middle school my favorite book that I checked out several times was Indian Captive, the Mary Jemison Story written and illustrated by Lois Lenski. During the French and Indian War she was captured in Pennsylvania by the a Shawnee raiding party and sold at Fort Duquesne to a group of Seneca and stayed with the Seneca and became known as the Old White Woman of the Genessee. After moving on to 9th grade and high school I had to walk back to the middle school for a class. I think it was art or basketball not sure but I went in the library and they were giving some old books away - guess which one I grabbed. Forty years later I still have it.

The crumpet recipe called for a certain skillet greasing . It is supposed to be salt placed in a muslin bag , dipped in fat/ oil. It keeps black iron pans clean between each round of battering. I use a coffee filter with the top twisted to hold salt in then dipped in oil or grease/Crisco. ❤

Your crumpets are perfect modern day British crumpets, they don’t split them though, just toast them & slather on the butter (plus jam). Pikelets are the result of cross-breeding pancakes and crumpets 🤪👍. Buckwheat, freshly ground & made straight into Japanese Soba noodles 😮, loaded with flavour.

My mom loved poached eggs (boiled out of the shell) when I was just old enough to reach the stove knobs. Being that bacon and poached eggs was her favorite breakfast, we kids made it for her breakfast in bed every Mother's Day and on her birthday. One year I gave her an egg poacher -- it's a little saucepan with a bowl for the egg that fits over the top. It keeps the eggs from being covered in water when you remove it, so you don't have to drain it on anything. She liked hers really runny, but you can leave it in longer if you like it more well done.

It's important to note that BBQ may have come from a different culture not necessarily, west Africa. According to Chat GPT "one notable early instance is associated with the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. The Taino people, who inhabited the Caribbean islands when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas, were known to cook meat over a framework of green sticks in pits dug in the ground. This method, known as "barbacoa," is considered one of the early forms of barbecue. It's important to recognize that similar cooking techniques using pits have been employed by different cultures globally. Each developed its own variations based on local ingredients, available resources, and culinary traditions. The use of pits for cooking is a widespread and ancient practice that transcends a specific cultural origin."

Assuming power is gone from modern homes, it would be good to know or prepare a means to cook with wood outside the home in a covered shelter. Using what we have these days to make such a stove and shelter, it would be good to know how to do this so we can fry, bake, grill, smoke, boil, or can our foods without power. Outside in some shelter would not be illegal in most places as it would be considered barbecuing. Of course, this is not in accordance to your strict rules here. But having modern adaptations to do this would be useful if the grid goes down for a long time.

Fried okra is on menus at many restaurants across the South, and I usually order it whenever it is available. Some variations are better than others. The best fried okra I have enjoyed was at a small cafe in Memphis. A restaurant in another state basically gave me raw okra covered by under-cooked, soggy (very greasy) batter. That was absolutely disgusting.
