Easy Cornbread

Can we talk about House Hunters for a second? We watch an episode or two every night before bed and it never ceases to surprise me just how weird people are. For example, there was a dude who wanted to be in walking distance to his church because he didn’t like wearing shoes and walks around BAREFOOT. In the street. To church. Not just around the house. Out in public. BAREFOOT.

Did I mention he walks around barefoot? No shirt, no shoes, BIG problem.

Then there was another dude who wanted an older house that had secret passageways. A grown man wants secret passageways. For what purpose? Creepy. Then at the end once he found his secret passageway house, he was playing his guitar in some dark, dusty, and dirty crawl space/closet. Nothing gets the creative juices flowing like dark and dirty closets.

I could totally be on the show. Sometimes I like to look at houses in random places online and I have things to say about every house. I know, could I be more lame? I’m not sure what my weird thing would be though. I’ll have to work on that.

What does this all have to do with cornbread? Absolutely nothing. There is nothing weird about cornbread.

Nothing screams fall like a bowl of chili. And is there anything that goes better with a bowl of chili other than cornbread? I think not. I’ve actually never made cornbread from scratch. I’ve only used the packaged stuff. For shame, I know. So I just mixed a bunch of stuff in a bowl and hoped it would come out good. Luckily, it did and now I will never buy the boxed mix again!
