I've always just made cornbread from scratch. Although I now feel that I have been foolish in forgetting the pancetta and rosemary. That sounds good.
My DH is working late and the kids drove me INSANE tonight. I scolded them over no worse than their usual impish behavior. I feel like a failure. Sigh. At least there's wine.
Speaking of whines, my students are driving me a bit batty tonight too. Two students turned in their last papers 2 weeks late--ie, when the final were due--are now emailing me to ask when I'm going to get comments back to them so they can use them for their now-late final portfolios. grrr. Told both, sorry, no comments for you! Turn in whatever you want for the final. Just turn it in.
Jiffy also uses more white flour than cornmeal, as opposed to my grandmother's recipe that uses a tablespoon of flour to a cup of cornmeal. She used a teaspoon of sugar, but a lot of people don't use any.
Martha White's mixes use vegetable shortening. Glory Food's mix is good and appears to also use vegetable shortening. Cornbread is so easy that I usually only use mixes if I'm making one of the doctored cornbreads with added stuff like corn and cheese.
xkcd is full of Firefly recently.
I use 1 1/4 C of cornmeal, 3/4 C of flour, no sugar, 2 t baking powder, 1 C milk, 1/4 C veg oil, 1 egg. I occassionally like to add corn (esp. the canned mexicorn mix).
Jiffy mix is corn muffins to me which is an altogether different critter from cornbread.
ha! that is too funny, Cash.

I can hear that in perfect Fillion-voice, since I'm in the middle of an episode of Castle. Too funny.
I should make cornmeal. I'm having a light craving.
You make your own cornmeal? That's hard core.
BREAD.
I was thinking I had no cornmeal, so I typed cornmeal.
Mmmm. Corn bread. Very hard to get hold of over here. I miss it. Also corn muffins.
Just in case you've got nothing better to do than read about why Obama is the Antichrist: [link]
Here's some evidence:
Why is it That... On the day of Barack Obama's Inauguration, the media made reference to the fact that Barack Obama's Presidential Car has been nicknamed "The Beast ...........Is this a sign that the Masonic Conspirators behind the New World Order are purposely playing with those who have an understanding of end time prophecy?
Yeah, calling his "car" (actually, an SUV) "the beast" has nothing to do with its size, weight, armor, etc.
OK, and this is the best logical argument ever found on the Internets:
Why is it That... in 2008 were there over 3 million searches on the keywords "Obama Antichrist" and "Obama Messiah"?.......Does Barack Obama have an apocalyptic role given the global financial circumstances in which he has risen to power. Is he a man divinely appointed or an agent of the New World Order objective?
It's true because people googled it!
