I love cornbread concoctions and am thinking of making cornbread/elote/pico de gallo/maybe bacon concoction for a quick breakfast or other snack when my son is visiting.

all you do is mix together a 1/2 cup of melted butter, one can of whole corn kernels (drained), one can of creamed corn, 8 oz of sour cream, two large eggs.  Once they're mixed, add one box of Jiffy corn muffin mix.

combine and pour into an 8x8 pan, and bake for 45 minutes at 350F.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!




I hope everyone was sufficiently stuffed for Thanksgiving!

I had a nice holiday,  mom, dad, Chris and I had a dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes, the corn casserole, and then mom made some Penne Alla Vodka, meatballs and sausage, and garlic bread.

Dessert was pumpkin pie, and assorted cupcakes.

I worked Friday, but it was VERY quiet, which I expected.  Spent the day in the apartment getting it decorated for the holidays.   The windows are lit up, the kitchen and living room are decorated, and the tree is all set.

I also managed to get my first batch of holiday cards mailed, the international ones. I'll start mailing out the domestic ones a little later.

Sason:
Chuck, your Xmas card arrived today. Thank you so much  :-*

I LOLed when I read the back of the envelope!  :laugh:

So, let me tell you about my week.

 >:( >:(


I was on vacation this past week.   I planned it that way, so that each day mom and I could get a different Christmas cookie done each day, and then by yesterday (Saturday) they would all be made and decorated, ready to give out this week.


So Tuesday I went to my parents' place, and we made a dough to chill, and then made the chocolate chip cookies, because that dough didn't need to chill.  They taste good, but came out pretty flat, and we couldn't figure out why.  They also took longer to get done then the recipe said.

On Wednesday I got an oven thermometer, and found out the oven was heating about 25 degrees lower than stated, so we adjusted the temp and went on with the next batch of cookies, they came out fine.

Thursday's and Friday's cookies also came out fine.

Saturday we baked the sugar cookies.  We followed the instructions, but they spread out to shapeless blobs.  This was the most upsetting, as we had just got a bunch of new cookie cutters and decorations, and now we wouldn't have the cookies to decorate.

We decided to make the best of it, and decorated the cookies that did turn out.

Got home Saturday afternoon.  By Saturday night I was feeling sick.   I took a Covid test, it came back negative.  I woke up this morning still feeling sick.  Major congestion.  No fever, no aches or chills, and no loss of smell or taste.   I took a second Covid test, and it's negative again.

I called mom and dad to let them know I wouldn't be over today, and to watch how they are feeling, and if they start to feel badly, to see a doctor.

This means, however, that the cookies we spent all day decorating are basically contaminated.  We can't give them out to anyone.  So they're all bound for the garbage, and we've wasted our time, efforts and money for nothing.
