Stalling tactics

OK... A post is coming with a long delayed Christmas cookie update (you need time a bit more time to get over the holiday sugar high, don't you?). But in the meantime, I came across this video (thanks to the Tea & Cookies blog) and thought you might enjoy it. Yeah, those little onions and pickles didn't do much for me, personally, but just wait for the big finish. I nearly passed out.

Golden Yellow Corn Bread

Last night Jason and I had left overs from a new BBQ restaurant in Philadelphia (Percy Street BBQ). We had a few pieces of brisket, four ribs, a bunch of homemade sausage pieces, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens. I thought that is might be nice to have some corn bread. I had a bag of Indian Head old fashion stone ground yellow corn meal, so I decided to make some homemade corn bread.

Jason LOVED this corn bread, he had two big pieces and wanted more. I just followed the recipe on the back of the bag, but added a teaspoon of Jason's homemade vanilla sugar.

1 cup Indian Head Yellow Corn Meal
1 cup sifted flour
1/4 sugar
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup oil
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (added ingredient)

Preheat oven to 425

Combine corn meal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix in oil, egg, and milk. Bake in a greased 9x9 (I used an 8x8 glass) pan for 20-25 minutes.

JASON WHERE ARE THOSE CHRISTMAS COOKIES? Tag your turn!!!
