This week for the BBA Challenge, I baked cornbread. This cornbread was very moist, very sweet, and relatively easy to make. While Mr. Reinhart offers countless praises to this bread and many ties to Thanksgiving, I found that it does not conjure up those moments for me. Since I am from the South, I would say that while this bread was veyr good, I won’t be making this at Thanksgiving or Christmas for fear of being laughed out of the house and loosing my privilages to eat cornbread dressing. Maybe if I disguised it as sweet a sweet corn cassarole I might be allowed to pass it off in the food line, but I think I will just sticky to our regular palate and keep this (corn)bread under wraps here in our house.
