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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Mmmm. Corn bread. Very hard to get hold of over here. I miss it. Also corn muffins.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh internet crazies! Never go away!
