Except for culinary rule #3.

Can I ask what's "culinary rule #3" ?

Boxed mixes darn sure aren't perfect... one complaint I have about Jiffy's Corn Muffin Mix is I generally prefer a bit more tooth n' texture to my cornbread- I don't get that satisfaction from the Jiffy product as the texture of it indeed seems to be more cakey, as Brook earlier described... But still- I can't remember the last time I went to the trouble of a scratch corn muffin here at home- maybe MANY years!

But then again- at home I tend to cook simpler than I did at work in commercial kitchens. For instance- Im an anal neat-freak, and although it makes mama cringe at the thought- I don't think my all-white stove and ceramic-tile back-splash have EVER been polluted with the spatter of a homemade marinara! I just won't allow it! So, I subsist on the low-class bottled stuff (w/ added tomato paste), and what's more- I refuse to even heat it to bubbling on the stove, on the counter or even in the kitchen! I only warm it in a covered crock-pot set in my bath-tub with the curtain closed, lest a few red sputters explode out! Can you believe that? Sometimes I cheat even further and purchase pre-cooked frozen meatballs! (Okay, mama- settle-down and put that rollin' pin away, dammit! Hee-Hee!)

Tonight's Supper?

An Egg-Salad-Stuffed MONSTER-Tomato w/ crumbled bacon and spring onions atop... plus another packed to take to work for my mid-night meal. Somehow I ended up with a surplus of eggs to get rid of. And Lord knows if I don't eat at least a few 'maters a day I'm gonna live to regret it! Sure- a guy can get tired of'em... but come January, I'll pay a fortune for a real August 'mater... so I gotta eat'em now at every possible corner!

I don't use Jiffy mix either...I make my corbread from scratch and I love it ! I have a cast iron pan that is so seasoned over the years it never sticks ....everything comes out perfectly.I have a cast iron pan too that makes the cornsticks....fast and easy.Sometimes I add a tad of sugar...not so much as to make it taste sweet.....but no sugar when I cook the buttermilk cornbread.
