I have another stupid question. I have a TJ's cornbread mix with a best by date of several months ago. It's not an expiration date. Is it still safe to use.

I think some of them may be a lot younger than me and not really understand why widespread acceptance of "people first" feels like a huge victory after growing up reading "The plucky teen, who sports a nearly constant smile despite suffering from..."

The worst that might happen is that the leavening in it might not work as well as super-fresh ingredients. But I think several months is okay wiggle room for a dry baking mix.

Basically, what I'm saying is, I would totally make it. It won't harm you, and the worst that might happen (and honestly I think there's like a 5% chance of this happening) is that the bread will be more dense than usual.

Agree. You might throw a tsp of baking powder in if you think it warranted. But probably not even necessary.

Great. It's in the oven. So, we'll see.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ow. Icy sidewalks and unstable joints are a really bad combination. I didn't fall, but my ankles and knees are seriously not happy with me.

I'm sorry, Hil. Feel better.

The cornbread came out excellent, and just as fluffy as normal. I make it with melted butter instead of the oil it calls for. The chili was also delicious. The rice nsm. I'm terrible at making rice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We have a baby Rival rice cooker that H bought at Target that we love. It cooks rice perfectly every time. It also has a steamer basket if we want to throw vegetables in there while the rice cooks. No more boiling over foamy pans, or gritty undercooked rice. I feel so spoiled every time we use it.

Does it work with brown rice too?
