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.

xkcd is full of Firefly recently.

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!

Oh internet crazies! Never go away!

This is cool if you like looking at pictures of giant machinery and lasers and what-not: Energy of the Future: Igniting a Star With Laser Light

LIVERMORE, California – It may look like one of Michael Bay's Transformers, but this mass of machinery could soon be the birthplace of a baby star right here on Earth.

Using 192 separate lasers and a 400-foot-long series of amplifiers and filters, scientists at Lawrence Livermore's National Ignition Facility (NIF) hope to create a self-sustaining fusion reaction like the ones in the sun or the explosion of a nuclear bomb — only on a much smaller scale.

Sci-fi-inspired End of Days jokes may follow this historic undertaking like they did for CERN's Large Hadron Collider, but the science behind this advanced laser system is profoundly serious.

"Completion of the NIF construction project is a major milestone for the NIF team, for the nation and the world," said Edward Moses, the facility's principal associate director for NIF and photon science. "We are well on our way to achieving what we set out to do — controlled nuclear fusion and energy gain for the first time ever in a laboratory setting."

The hope is that this reaction will release more energy than the lasers put into the target isotopes and perhaps redefine the global energy crisis in the process.

But I discovered a major mistake in their laboratory:

Throughout the entire NIF facility, emergency shutdown panels listing the status of the laser (using both text and light) provide a level of safety for the hapless scientist or technician who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time before a firing of the lasers.

How is a scientists supposed to get trapped inside the reaction chamber and turned into StarMan? What ever happened to the safety feature of running the experiment off a timer that can't be stopped, with a door that closes automatically and can't be opened once the timer starts?
