I really like sweet tea and cornbread!
I would love to go to every part of this awesome country of ours and taste the different foods from all the different places!
No sweet cornbread, never!

hot water cornbread
WARNING: I do everything by eye....a pinch here, a smidgeon there...I just throw it all in a bowl and guesstimate.
Ya make 'em kinda like pancakes in a cast iron skillet on the stove and it doesn't heat the house up as much as baking.
Boil at least a cup of water in the microwave
Put about 1 to 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal in a bowl. Add 1 beaten egg and mix thoroughly. Then you add the boiling water in bits, slowly mixing it until the right consistency....not thin like pancakes.... kinda like what you would make for regular cornbread almost.
Heat skillet with about 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil heated med to med/hi.... then use a good sized serving spoon to dollop the mixture into the pan. Watch carefully and try not to burn
DO NOT, under any circumstances use jiffy mix.
After 25 years I've finally gotten it nearly right (darn Yankee that I am). Happy vows tomorrow!
No sugar in my cornbread - just in my tea!

I've only had cornbread twice....
The first time when I was a kid and my mom tried making (bland New England palate here) it. It was so dry and yucky I swore I'd never eat any ever again.
About 10 years ago a co-worker made cornbread to go with lasagne (she's 1/2 black 1/2 italian and a 100% spitfire!) and OH MY GOSH it was soooo good! She had like this layer of sugar on top that was kinda melted and it was so moist...I could've eaten that whole pan myself. I asked her for the recipie but she said something like, "Ancient family secret" or some such thing to bum me out. Cornbread with lasagne. Never had it since and probably never will. :( I wicked miss her but yeah, she made one heck of a cornbread and that sweet style certainly suited my tastebuds!
one of my fav cornbread receipes
(i lived in the south 20 yr but Cal-bred and raised) included creamed corn, cheese, and i think salsa (its been awhile since i made it). But my hubby likes it not made sweet but in a bowl with milk and sugar.
Yum! I did that yesterday with cornbread stuffing

True cornbread- you and I are alike
on that. Have had all my life and never put cranberries in it. My aunt was just saying the other day she could taste her mother's dressing, rest her sweet soul. It was so good, put sausage in hers along with the cornbread, of course, no white bread filler.
I use Jiffy cornbread and it is SO good (sm)
and the other stuff, celery, onions, sage, but never did the cranberries. I might try that next time. I do make fresh cranberry sauce though. It's SO easy and it is the best.
Back to the cornbread dressing, I've always gotten raves over it. One of my daughter's frends said he didn't like stuffing, wouldn't even eat his mom's, but took a taste of the CB stuffing and had seconds! Ya'll ought to try it ;-)

We are having chilli and cornbread. YUMMY!!!!! nm

Totally agree, cornbread, milk, egg
Never added sweet unless cookies, brownies, cakes, pies- all those got sweets.
My new favorite is Vidalia onion cornbread sm
Vidalia Onion Cornbread (from Paula Deen)
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/2 stick butter
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed (which I leave out)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
I double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or even 11x15 pan and it comes out great. And to keep the cheese from getting too dark, I add it the last 10 minutes instead of at the beginning. So yummy!
Second favorite is corn casserole, very similar to the onion cornbread.
Corn Casserole
1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 can cream-style corn
1 stick of butter
Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in a 400-degree oven. Meanwhile, mix the corn muffin mix, juice from whole kernel corn, egg, and sour cream until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and pour into dish with butter. Stir slightly to mix in the butter. Bake 30-45 minutes or until set in the middle.
Again, I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 9x13 pan; however, do not double the butter or it is too greasy.
Where I'm from boiled jowl meat and hot water cornbread
could be combined to make scrapple, a Philadelphia treat.
Mmmm Mmmmm scrappleneggs.
What a sweet, sweet face!
I have tears in my eyes. I will see what I can do about getting him a hat from PA. Do you know do they just want ball caps or would a beanie be okay, too?
These are all so sweet....
This is the sweetest posts I have read here for a while. I have two. First, the love of Jesus in my life. There is no other comparison to his love. Thank you Jesus! Second, the way my DH searches me out in a crowded room. That makes me feel pretty special! Enjoyed these sweet posts!!
This is actually a sweet one-
My twin sister and I were adopted and from as early as I can remember we were told that we were special cause mommy and daddy got to choose us. For years I envisioned this baby store where parents would cruise up and down the aisles until they found the ones they wanted. And I always did feel special because of it.
Aw, how sweet.
On Father's day I called the house and mom answered, but I had a question about a gift I was getting Dad, so thankfully I thought to ask if Dad was right there too (couldn't tell if we were on speaker). Turned out he had also picked up, which surprised me so much that instead of wishing him a happy FD, I told him he needed to get off the phone! How wude!
I did see him later in the day and apologized, LOL.
How sweet.
My child is the light of my life and love reading things like this. Be sure to write that down so you and she don't forget it as they grow up so quickly. You made my day==thanks!
sweet 16
My daughter is not studious but more of the artsy, eccentric type, but she did not want the big sweet 16 bash. Instead, she had a formal tea party at our house with 7 of her friends. They all wore fancy dresses, high heels. She filled the room with flowers, made little sandwiches, tea obviously, fancy desserts, tablecloths, doilies, etc. It was so over the top, it was funny rather than weird and geeky, and they had a blast! Later, just she and I went to NYC together and saw some plays, went shopping, did museums.
But this is a kid who shops at thrift stores and vintage shops and would not be caught dead in anything bought at a mall. So whatever is "in" is "out" for her.
Sweet 16
How about tickets to a concert by her favorite performer/group for both of them, rented limo to take them to a fancy dinner first? Or, does she know her friend's family well? If so, how about a dual party? Just thinking out loud. It's a special day for her, one she ought to remember always. My parents didn't have a lot of money, and my sweet 16 (a gazillion years ago) was just a house get-together with about 6 people, but it was fun because that special day was acknowledged. I had a cousin whose sweet 16 was held in a nightclub. Trini Lopez was performing there, and I saw Connie Stevens sitting at the next table!
Wow! How sweet to ask! sm
I didn't want to post "little change in condition" but thank you for asking so I will post an update. It is getting worse but not progressing as quickly as I thought it would back on Saturday. I'm having to hand feed her and am trying to find goodies that will tempt her to eat. I had some liquid pain medicine from before and so she was taking that in tuna water (which she used to love) but now won't even drink that so I can't get any pain medication in her. She didn't sleep well last night. She keeps looking at me and meowing and I wish I could speak cat. The time is close I think. I'll let you know when.

Good to hear you smiling again Hayseed......Cedric is so cute Misha...He and Sasha are gonna keep you busy!
How Sweet!
Wish my baby was still sweet. She's a black lab now 1-1/2 years old and sure knows how to rule hubby. She gives him heck every time he won't do what she wants. ![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/cutelaugh.gif)
I can't sit on the couch when he's working or she jumps right up on me and lays upside down on my lap. She's no lightweight, either. She weighs 80 pounds.
They want to be near YOU! Sweet! nm

Definitely not sweet...nm
:))
Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! - nm

How sweet! sm
Yeah, it's a bill, but it's something for you specifically, something you can use all by yourself :-)
Of course, you'll use the money on bills that you didn't have to spend on glasses. lol
That was very generous and kind of her.
They look so sweet!

sweet!!!
for clothes
Sweet isn't exactly what he is going for. LOL
Wish it was that simple. He's a man, he has an alterior motive and it's not to be sweet. He even tells me so. lol
Ahh - that's so sweet.
Almost as sweet as my 4 yo saying "you're the best mom in the whole town." LOL
Congratulations for having such a great relationship with your daughter. That's awesome!
God bless!
sweet guy
you are lucky to have a man that cares about you and wants to take care of you! He probably thinks he is doing the right thing so you don't have to worry about those things! Be thankful he doesn't say "get it yourself." if you feel the need to choose things for yourself, do other things like going shopping for clothes or things for the house. boom, choices.
How Sweet!!!!!
He is beautiful!! Feel better Gary!! Thanks for sharing Gary's mom and keep us updated!!
very sweet
loving the colors :)
Now THAT's Sweet!
What a precious memory...for both of you. You are blessed :-)
Aww! she looks sweet.
I love dogs!
Sweet
I love it when things like that happen. We have a family of chipmunks living under our deck. It's not unusual to see several deer in our yard. Drives the dogs crazy. We even had a resident groundhog (we nicknamed him "Groundy") until he got hit by a car a few weeks ago. They're destructive but he liked to go up on our back porch and dig up the moss that grows there, which was extremely helpful.
DH has brought home several abandoned animals he sees on his ride home including a couple of birds - one made it a day, the other was doing well but we didn't know it had learned to fly and before we could get a cage for it to recuperate and/or grow, it flew out of the tall box we had it in while we were at work, and the dogs must have thought it was a toy. I won't say how that ended. He brought home a couple of possum babies last year and though we did everything according to the Internet, the first one died quickly and the second decided to leave the heating pad, unattended. We couldn't find it and I was sick thinking about it rotting somewhere. Thankfully, my dogs kept smelling the closet, so we knew where it had gone. They found him within 24 hours, thankfully. All of these animals would have died in the wild and we fared no better with them, sad to say.
Last year, one of the cats who hangs out with a dozen or so other strays behind a Chinese restaurant (not being funny - that part is true!) followed me home one night. I gave him something to eat and he stayed. We brought him indoors, he had all of his shots and a good ear mite cleaning at the vet. We also had him neutered. $300 later, he got out as I was taking the dogs. He got run over and diet pretty quick. I felt bad. No more strays for us - Pug rescue only.
thanks chickadee, that was really sweet! sm
we have talked quite extensively and i have told him i am not ready for anything serious right now. i just want to enjoy being single and raise my kiddos. he seems to understand that but you are right, a man is a man, lol, and hard to picture him in the doc lifestyle. if nothing but a good friendship comes out of this, it would be nice to have anyway and right now i just need to get out of the house. i am tired of working 24/7, but on the upside he does too!! so i don't think either one of us have time for a relationship, lol.
Your sweet puppy
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's so difficult to loose someone we love. Have you ever heard of the site, I believe it's called Rainbow's Bridge, the place where our beloved pets pass after they've left us? Please visit the site and register your baby....perhaps it will make you feel just a bit better after you do and be sure to read the poem...
If only they stayed that little and sweet 4-ever...
Mom of 2 in school, and aren't you a nice neighbor. Have fun!
What a face! Sweet!
Thanks for the sweet responses!
Off to get tights and slippers, I guess:-)
Thanks for all these sweet answers and get this,,,
my dear one left for work at 12:30- just called and said he was talking with his friend in California and his friend met a new girl who said she was a size 14. My hubby wanted to know if I was that size or smaller, even a 12. Lordy, lordy, now you know why I say thank you Jesus for this man. I am a size 20 pants but would love to be a 14. I just carry myself well. Ladies, there is still hope out there for everyone!!!
sweet answer!
