what, not chat
LOL That’s for sure.
The Golden Cornbread recipe is a lit like the one I use, off of the Albers box. I do like it sweet and cake-like! But maybe, just maybe, it wouldn’t be quite right crumbled into beans. I have to admit that Gwen’s cornbread was just about right for it.

My father liked leftover cornbread crumbled in a bowl with buttermilk poured over it.
that’s what my friend who is 100% southern does. She said her mother gave her cornbread and buttermilk as a snack when she was little!
LOL! I’ve probably had it made right, and made with the spread as well.
I’ve actually never made it myself, because one of the very few things I just don’t like is pimento. I remove it from any recipe; but politely force down a little half-sandwich at parties ;-)
That sounds good.
Another ‘sweet/sour’ drink that I’ve been wanting to try is Jamaica Water. Among the TV cooking shows that I enjoy is ‘Pati’s Mexican Table’, on PBS; and I learned about Jamaica (Hibiscus) Tea from Pati. I’ve had it hot - it’s wonderful with sugar or honey, and apparently has some ability to lower blood pressure; but I want to try the iced version:

We get the dried flowers very inexpensively from the local ethnic store.

Magnolia trees blooming here in Texas as well. They do smell divine, but all this rain is the devil’s work on their beautiful blossoms.
As the Chat feature is never used, ‘don’t know nothing about chatting’ (stated with the thought of Prissy in Gone With The Wind). Basically when Goggle is used the sites come up and I go there. Once there a feast is laid before the eyes with so much information it’s down the rabbit hole for a few hours. Seriously, don’t go to Twitter, Facebook, or any other social active site to chat. Much prefer message boards such as this. Hope you don’t mind my asking (and if you do there is no need to answer), but from where did you relocate and move to the South? And once here, have you had difficulty in understanding the ‘Southern Speak’? Worked in an office of transferred New Yorkers for years. LOL remember once a salesman was speaking of a motel/hotel and kept calling it HO-JO. Finally, I just had to ask just what was he talking about. Well, silly me....it was Howard Johnsons. NOW that one was a very familiar name. Over time it all worked out and we were able to speak the same language. So happy you like this part of our country and wish you the best in good neighbors, safe travel and bright skies...we just had another ??inches plus here in north Texas last night. Rain is wonderful but sunny skies now and then would be a blessing. BTW...This time of year it is not uncommon for normal temps to be 90 degrees. If this weather is an indication of Global Warming then I’m a monkey’s uncle, aunt, cousin, whatever. I’ve actually had to wear a jacket when going outdoors.

That sounds much better than that stuff in jars.
There was some connection between Jeff Davis and Texas, I thought. or maybe it was the VP....
Lurking on Weekly Cooking thread has inspired me to make bread from the scratch. ( I always thought making bread at home is probably not done by ‘normal’ people) :-D
I’d like to try an automatic bread maker and greatly appreciate any suggestions on these machines. A few years ago I tried a Cuisinart machine but wasn’t successful. Thanks for your suggestions in advance.
We’ve had a Breadman for many years; it’s adequate, but ours makes a funny-shaped loaf; and it seems to struggle with a completely WW loaf. Try to find a powerful one that makes a horizontal loaf.
We are actually in the market for a new bread machine, and have been advised to look into the Zojirushi:
Look on Amazon for reviews.
The King Arthur website is a great one for recipes; and then there are the websites ‘The Fresh Loaf’ and ‘Breadtopia’ for advice.
Bread machines are convenient and useful, but there’s no replacement for a completely hand-made loaf.
I haven’t made homemade bread in many years - I mean, completely handmade,without a machine. But the best yeast bread and rolls I’ve ever had, either from my own efforts or my Grandmother’s, were totally done by hand...
Baking bread is an art and a science; and requires a real investment in learning and practice. But many people find it a peaceful and rewarding hobby.
(Looking over my shoulder, my Husband Unit says that the little gadgets at the end of your wrists are the best tools for cooking. I think he’s channeling Jacques or Julia ;-)

Thank you for the info. I thought Zojirushi made mainly appliances for Asian cuisine that rarely has bread in it’s menu. I have a Zojirushi rice cooker and I love it. I’ll certainly explore this.
If you are also looking for a good machine, I found good reviews on the following .

See if that helps and also please do let me know what you think about this one.
I’m from Appalachia. Chocolate gravy on biscuits, kilt or killed greens, and ramps are some of the foods we eat. Except I don’t like ramps, too strong and stinky. lol My father always ate leftover cornbread crumbled up in buttermilk.
My mother-in-law always said the South ends in Dallas and the West begins in Fort Worth.
My father-in-law’s family are from east TX and settled there way before the War between the States. Numerous members served in the Confederate army.
Are the blooms gone now? Did it bloom before leafing out or bloom with leaves on it? Did you take a picture?
I have a Zojurushi bread maker. I want a Zo rice cooker.

The flowers came before the leaves. The beautiful green leaves were actually a disappointment after the incredible flowers. I have tons of pictures somewhere-i’ll try to dig one up.
