Most cornmeal producers dont tell you when their cornmeal was milled, which makes it difficult to know how long the product has been sitting in the store before you bought it.

If you have a busy natural foods store in your community, give their bulk cornmeal a try: high turnover means the product will most likely be fresh. And if the cornmeal is organic, all the better.

Sometimes you win by losing.

But since you're asking me, I'll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it's good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.

Many of America's historical cornbreads were staple breads for people who didn't have many other options.

I tested a lot of old cornbread recipes and most of them were bland or tough.

That said, there are certainly still cooks out there who make fantastic historical cornbreads, though the old recipes have often been changed to include modern techniques and ingredients.

My mission in life is to try and get to a point where my insides world is not affected by the outside world.

I was...labelled as an advocate because...I measured something.

I have spent far too many years trying to make everybody like me. It's not possible. People can say or think what they want.

When in doubt, throw it out.

Nothing looked the same, and everything looked the same.

All the blessings God has prepared for us, His children, are received through our prayers

You don't win a game by hitting the ball out of the court.

I pity from the bottom of my heart any nation or body of people that is so unfortunate as to get entangled in the net of slavery.

They can call or e-mail, too, but I'd rather see the bug.

The emerging picture is one where slavery, oppression and exploitation of society's most vulnerable members have by no means been consigned to the past.

It's scoring goals that's great, whether against Brazil or anybody else.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

God deserves the best from us.
