What's your policy for sugar on cornbread? Finishing baked cornbread with a light sugar glaze is SOP around here. Cornbread we don't use to mix with and cover a delicious blend of tomato sauce, ground beef, and cheese, I mean.

If you do fried chicken though I will loving shank you if you put corn kernels in the corn bread.

God no, my dad makes it this way (he uses the America's Test Kitchen recipe that uses frozen corn kernels) and I hate it.

When I was in middle school, I read 'Sign of the Beaver' and the next time my family made cornbread I had to have molasses with it. (We have it in our cupboard because my mom likes to make ham with a Jack Daniel's, Molasses and Brown Sugar glaze.)

Anyway.

Beef Stew and Cornbread I always find cornbread easier to eat when I have something to dunk it in.

Beef stew because it's great.

Thank you for doing the worst cooking mama of them all. But I can't hate it. It literally personifies loving PETA and it makes me giggle because it's so overblown and stupid. It's just completely ridiculous in every single way.

I'm voting for Beef Stew because I love a good beef stew. Plus, cold weather blah blah blah.

As far as cornbread goes, I like all types of cornbread. Sweet, savory, with corn kernels, without. Doesn't matter. I'm from Illinois. We're not picky when it comes to things made of corn.

Classy.

And white gravy is great! At least the white gravy we make. It ends up with sausage chunks in it and is spicier than brown gravy, in my experience. It is mostly breakfast-exclusive though.

If I had British 'biscuits' I'd have to dip them in 'infusions' because they're hard as rocks. (Brits are especially wrong about food.)

Since you're saving cornbread for the fried chicken, I must insist you bake (American) biscuits along with the beef stew. Biscuits taste wonderful when you dip each flaky layer into the beef stew.

Beef Stew

A Slowcooker
Roughly 1 and 1/2 lb Beef for Stew
16 oz Beef Broth
1 Potato
1 Shallot (or an onion if you prefer!)
1 Carrot (optional)
1 spoonful of garlic cloves (Minced or crushed will work if you can't find a jar of cloves)
About 1 cup of flour
About 1 tablespoons salt
Pepper
Cilantro
Rosemary
Parsley

And some kind of starchy side dish like Egg Noodles.

Chop the veggies, then add to the slow cooker along with half the beef broth, and the garlic.
Coat the beef with the flour/salt mixture and then pepper to taste
Fry the beef up in a pan until the sides look nice and seared, about 10-15 minutes. Don't worry if the meat is undercooked the slowcooker will fix that later.
Add the beef to the slow cooker, along with the Cilantro, Rosemary, and Parsley, and a little bit more Pepper. Cover with the rest of the beef broth and stir.
Start the slow cooker. Do 30 minutes on high then 45 minutes on low. Stir occasionally.

Egg noodles go better with stroganoff than with stew in my family's opinion. Also, tomatoes are not an essential part of beef stew as good old Dinty Moore goes to show. Can't say I quite figured out how you intended to cut that poor shallot, though.

In more personal food news, I made a drat fine gumbo the other day. I started with a Zatarain's mix and added turkey sausage, Hormel canned chicken (I don't use chicken breasts often enough to justify buying a bunch for one meal), celery, and a can of okra (too far north to find the fresh stuff). Oh, and a few healthy splashes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce to bring the heat. I also realized for the first time that if you slowly stir in a flour-based mix instead of dumping it all at once, you'll avoid filling the soup with disgusting clumps. It's too bad Cooking Mama doesn't know any Cajun, because that stuff was delicious.

The Neti pot is actually pretty comfortable if you're careful to get the water at body temperature, and it definitely clears the sinuses. I remember hearing something about picking up infections from the water, but honestly, that sounds like typical paranoia to me - if you're that worried, boil the water and let it cool to body temperature.

I made an Ethiopian beef not too long ago (key wot), it was yummy. Homemade berbere mix is a great thing to have, although this batch wasn't spicy enough. Served with rice, because we don't have a griddle for injera :saddowns:

Puree in mini food chopper, put in Neti pot, add 1/2 cup boiling water. Cool to body temperature, flush sinuses.

As I understand it, the "infection" is a brain-eating amoeba that only lives in warmer climates like the southern US. People in the northern part and all of Canada would be fine using tap water, and everyone can use distilled water that's 88 cents for a gallon.

I've never actually used a netti pot so I can't speak for its comfort or usefulness, but you'll look like this when you do it:

As one of these people, I can confirm this. I didn't even realize that it was a thing until after I spent a semester eating at Chipotle (due to an overwhelming preference among my friends) and wondering why the rice had a soapy undertone.
