now I’m just jealous. last week the husband mentioned having someone come in just to clean our bathrooms and kitchen once a week or every other week. I wonder how much that would cost?

if you can afford it, it’s well worth it!

Oh. So. Jealous…I’ve only had a maid once. I nearly cried from the experience…

I don’t want to shut up and you can’t make me. Besides if I shut up, who would teach you how to make corn bread on a stove top?

Ingredients

1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey or sugar (use more, if desired)
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons oil or butter, for the pan

Measure buttermilk . Add egg and beat with a fork. Stir in oil and honey or sugar.

In another bowl, mix cornmeal, salt and baking soda.

Heat skillet, add 2 teaspoons butter or oil and spread to cover bottom and sides of skillet thoroughly.

Add cornmeal mixture to milk mixture, stir briefly, and pour into hot skillet.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. (If skillet has no lid, improvise with foil, or a plate)

Check after 6 – 8 minutes. (It may take a few minutes more.)

Cornbread has cooked long enough when firm around the edges and center is almost firm.

Turn off heat and let stand, covered, for a few minutes. It will continue to cook.
Serve warm.

ENJOY!!

Cook it on VERY LOW HEAT!

You can do them like my grandma did…she made them like pancakes and they are called Johnny Cakes.

you are right, don’t shut up!! i will be making these this weekend.

Jealously I wish
someone cleaned my house for me …
more than twice a year ;–)

Of course all the rest of the challenges you’re facing aren’t things I’d be ‘up’ for … especially at this time in my life. Thanks for stopping by Small Reflections earlier. My 2nd ‘ku is up at Sacred Ruminations … doing ‘double’ duty with Pensieve’s new challenge.
Hugs and blessings,

there is a part of me that wonders if i could manage without her, i mean i’ve managed forever without a maid before, but with all the new stuff – i’m not sure i could!
