cornbread mix
I'm generally not a mix user, but a gift is a gift, and when you find it during your pantry-cleaning frenzy, it can't hurt to try it. Turns out, it's really good. No wonder people use mixes - no measuring involved!

I was inthe shower and I figured that D could handle making this himself. But when I got out, he had started the oven, dumped the mix in a bowl, and was completely confused by the directions. "Put cornbread mix in a bowl and blend. Add 1 cup of water and mix thoroughly." That first part really messed him up, and now that I think about it, it is totally redundant. Anyway, we figured it out in the end, and it turned out well. Even better with lots of butter.

hi susan,
thanks for the recipe!! i can't take credit for this photo - D took it for me, but it really is a beauty shot, isn't it?
S, I applaud your quest to clean out your freezer and pantry. I do this quite often, too, with a few major differences:
1. When you do it, it sounds so noble and springy. When I do, it's because I haven't had time to shop for two weeks.
2. When you do it, you find things like H&D cornbread mix, short rib braising sauce, and truffled rice. When I do, I find two and a half freezer-burned fish sticks.
Keep up the good fight. We're all cooking vicariously through you, you know!

you get a lot of nice food gifts--the braising stock and cornbread mix.
p.s. i like your pic. of the cornbread. good depth of field--or lack of it as the case is. the new lense is working well for you. : )

i'm not sure how noble the task is (or springy, although the frozen ginger was certainly so), but i realized that there were items that had actually moved from boston with us, and that's just, well, sad.

the braising stock was not a gift, but testament to my hoarding instinct. I basically am loathe to throw anything out. So the leftover liquid from a previous short rib braise got poured into a yogurt container and frozen.
