When I tell people not from the U.S. that I’m going to make or eat cornbread they look at me like “WHAAAT? You eat bread that’s made from corn?” Haha! No not exactly. Cornbread is umm.. idunno – how do you describe it? It’s more like a muffin than bread. And it’s yummy – especially when served – idunno – what do people eat cornbread with?
This picture doesn’t really do cornbread justice but it IS what cornbread looks like. I usually serve it with honey butter (or just honey as I’m lactose intolerant.) Oh the yumminess. Oh the American goodness. Oh the sugar in the honey prolly isn’t that good for me. But SO WHAT? I’m still a rockstar!

Oh hey – I thought I’d let you know I had to walk across my bedroom to get this recipe for this blog post. And considering that my ankle is double-size, I LIMPED and I have a skin infection on my ankle that the Dr. said, “You should take this seriously. If you don’t feel better tomorrow come back in. And if you even wonder whether you should come back in, come back in” – umm yeah – considering THAT – you should be EXTRA grateful for my sharing spirit. 
Apparently skin infections are DANGEROUS. Lucky me! I’ll be limping for the next couple days – no work – no school. But at least the flu that had me flat out in bed FOR EIGHTEEN SOLID HOURS seems to be going away. YAY!
Last week? A date, another date, (omgosh Daisy what has gotten into you?) a catch-up w/a friend? why is he so confusing!!??!!, homework, work, X-Men Origins, some art festival that I can’t remember the name of, a walk in the botanical gardens and yeah … a good week.
Up this week? Homework, homework, more homework, a date (AGH!), probably another catch-up w/the friend?, more homework and a first-time meet with bloggers lmchugh and aussieerin. SO EXCITED!!! If you’re in Sydney and want to meet up with us on Friday – let me know!
That looks yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe
Hey! Where and when are you guys meeting up on Friday. I’d love to come meet up with you if I can. Let me know.
Although I’m not sure I’d want to get too close to you… what with your nasty skin infection and all :)
“Catch-up with a friend?” So annoying! And seemingly unavoidable. There are too many meanings.
YUM! Now I’m craving cornbread. I love to eat the corner pieces!
Have fun at your mini meetup! Wish I could join! Oh will you be in Aus in December? I’ll be around then :)
feel better!
Wait.. what? Cornbread ISN’T bread made out of corn? Then why do you call it cornbread? You have shattered my whole belief system. I don’t know what’s real any more.
That looks like far too much for one person to eat. Maybe this weekend I’ll quarter the recipe and give it a whirl.
Get well soon!
