My brain is lacking on actual content, today. Was all day yesterday, too, and I got nothing useful done. Well, I made cornbread. And chicken parm. Because of course the oven was on anyway to make it warmer in here. *evil and loving it*
My cornbread (this is the third batch I've made) came out a little flat, this time. I think I forgot I was using a half-teaspoon measure and so put in only half the baking powder the recipe called for. I still don't seem to want to stop eating it, so it's not all bad. :) I'm packing some to take to work because I can't bear to be separated from it for that long. ;) Last time I made it I replaced the regular corn meal with masarepa, which is pre-cooked cornmeal for making arepas - don't ask me what they are; from the recipe on the back of the bag I'm guessing they're some sort of fritter. Not that it seems to make a lot of difference, but it might possibly be a little less grainy/mealy/crunchy.
Obviously all play and no work makes Derien a dull girl. I should really put on my colors and go join my peeps.
