I don't know how to make corn bread!
Do you not have the Buffista cookbook?
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It's like Sean all over again.
P-C, buy an 8x8 Pyrex (glass) pan at the grocery store. You will use it.

P-C, what do you have in terms of kitchen equipment (pots, pans, knives, etc.)?
It could be that just one or two more items could get you through most cooking situations.

I'm trying my hand at making crock pot candles. [link] If it works out I may become that annoying friend who gives everyone candles they'll never use for every occasion.

I have a large 3-qt pot and a small 1-qt pot. Along with a 2.5-qt pot, apparently. I have numerous frying pans, apparently a wok, a skillet, and a griddle. I have lots of knives and I don't know what they're all used for. One is really long and barely fits in the drawer. And the baking pan situation is dire.

That's why I suggested the Pyrex. I own two Pyrex (8x8, 9x13) and 1 cookie sheet. They last forever and these 3 items meet all my oven needs.
I also own 1 muffin tin and 2 madeleine tins, but I rarely use them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the 8x8 Pyrex would be good for anything (smallish) that you want to put in the oven, really.
I have a bigger one, and use it for anything from roasting chickens to making brownies. Useful!

You can also use the pyrex to make brownies, which are a very easy bachelor food: add water and oil to the mix and bake.
And 7 layer dip for parties! and tuna casserole and enchiladas...

I'll second Megan's rec on the pyrex pans and the cookie sheet. Cookie sheets have many more uses than just cookies. They make a good oven platform for things that might spill.
