I'm making it for one of my sisters. She's absolutely obsessed with Starry Night, for some reason. She bought 100 wooden spoons in bulk and starting painting it on each of them!
That sounds yummy! I've been planning to make a pot of beans and cornbread. Thank you for tomorrow's meal plan!OH man - all this talk of cornbread -- I see just plain ol' warm cornbread in the near future -- with butter and @drstratton 's honey.

That's todays meal plan for me....cooked a ham bone off 2 days ago. Now broth, ham chunks for the beans -- which I canned months ago -- to heat together. Plus a pint of broth for some collards. Yum.

I remember watching Old Yeller when I was a kid. There's a scene where Arliss eats cornbread with milk in it as a meal. I would have thought cornbread is a side... but is it common for it to be the main part of the meal down south?
My parents used to eat it like that. My dad was born in Texas. I don't know if that's why they ate it that way or just thought it sounded good one day and tried it. I prefer it hot, loaded with butter and a little honey.

It's something eaten as a meal during tough times, great depression, etc. Cornmeal was cheap, satisfying. Often fried vice baked, like a fritter. Yeah porridges, greens, foraged foods when things were tight. Potatoes a million ways....etc. old Yeller was in that time frame. Haven't seen it in a while.

My Daddy crumbled cornbread in a glass and added buttermilk or sweet milk. He grew up very poor. His dad put him to work chopping cotton in the fields when he was 10 years old for 50 cents a day. Cornbread with milk was probably a good meal for them.

That makes sense. I feel dumb that I didn't realize that.
My shower looks like this:
Because the "kitchen sink" looks like this:
Since there's a hole in the floor that the baby could easily fall into, he's pretty much been glued to my side all morning. Not of his own free will, lol.
We've gotten a few inches of snow overnight. Lots of reports of cars sliding off the roads. I'm supposed to take the girls to a women's christmas dinner tonight at a local diner. Somehow I got roped into coordinating a game.
that is so not me. But I found these printable sheets on etsy "who is the grinchiest?" and "who is the elfiest?". People get points based on what they answer to a question. Whoever has the most points wins. The questions are pretty basic so it makes it better. One for the grinch is "do you have a pet?"I did buy a prize for each set of questions. The grinch winner gets a beanie hat with the grinch's face and the elf winner gets those legs you can stick into your trunk so it looks like there's an elf hanging out of your vehicle.

Ooh, that's how I would eat it, too. Although I probably would prefer maple syrup over honey.
