Went to the dentist for three fillings this morning, and now I'm at work beginning to get a headache.

I'm learning some C# so that I can understand the modifications some engineers made in the simulation software we use and hopefully join them on more interesting projects.

Last night in bed half asleep I decided to leave myself a note about cornbread. I pasted Wikipedia links, recipes and references to northern/southern/texas varieties, johnny cakes, hoe cakes, cornpone, and hot water cornbread.

I guess I was hungry.

I think I'm gonna buy another sack of cornmeal and try out some recipes. Maybe I'll post "the cornbread variations" grubski in a couple weeks.

These are on the list now too.

I tried johnnyFive's recipe before but made made mess of it since the liquid/dry ratio is about twice my mom's recipe which I'm used to. Maybe I'll get it right this time.

Dunno if this is on point, but the key is to not mix the liquid + dry until right before you put them in the oven. The liquid ingredients (primarily the acid in the buttermilk) start the action on the baking soda and powder right away, and if you do it too soon it won't rise properly.

I remember thinking the batter was very thin. You're probably spot on and i stirred and poked at it too long hoping something would change and lost most of the baking soda leavening.
