Pantry Planning: Jiffy Corn Mix is one of those things worth having even if it does now include soy. The almost ready to eat handiness of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix variations is certainly worthy of it space InMySmallKitchen.
Wisk 1/2 tsp Apple Pie Spice into dry ingredients.
SUB 1/3 c Apple Sauce (replace Milk)
Pour into well greased 9 in pie pan
Let it rest for at least 3-4 minutes.
Bake according to package directions until center is clean tooth pick done
WHY a pie pan? its a twofer = we like a bit of crispy edge and wedges look nice on the plate. (I know cast iron is better if not always possible)
It is a toss up depending on freezer space. Jiffy Corn Muffins freeze well, or you can weigh and make only 1/2 box at time if you are
Shopping tiplet: Most stupid markets seem to have sale on individual or 6 packs on a regular basis. So a stock up every few months is easy to plan.
As part of planning your Pandemic Pantry – do check the “best by date” – and yeah, sure I could make the mix up myself, but the shelf life would be much shorter,
Now that we have officially entered Summer Grilling season (but please don’t limit this wonderful ingredient to just a few months of the year) sometimes called “Butter Pesto” InMySmallKitchen. So skipping most of the usual food blog rhetoric – jumping straight into the “recipe and variations”
Beef Meat Compound Butter 1 Tbl Roasted Garlic Paste Fresh …or 1 tsp Roasted Garlic Dried 1 tsp Pepper, Black Coarse Ground 1 Cup Butter, “Sweet Cream” (Salted) Combine until evenly mixed then place in small bowl – Cover allow to “meld” several hours.
USE: Slather it on as soon as meat is removed from heat for resting so it will be absorbed into the crust as it rests.
Reminder Plain, Salted/Sweet Cream Butter will keep on the counter so make early in the day Or, make ahead up to a week if all dried herbs or 2 days if fresh herbs. Store in Refrigerator until an hour or two ahead of use.
Tiplet: use a relatively neutral flavoured oil (Sunflower, Safflower, EVOO) to rehyrdrate dried herbs to create a paste to blend into the soft butter.
Tiplet: Variations – Sub/add other herbs & spices to make a compound butter to bring out the flavours of other Meat & Poultry
Beef: 1 Tbl Horseradish Fresh or 1 tsp Powder Lamb: 1 TBL Rosemary Fresh Finely Minced (or 1 tsp Dried) Pork: 1.5 tsp Mustard Seed, finely ground Poultry: 1 tsp each Sage & Summer Savory (consider using it under the skin and to rub into breast cavity when preparing whole or pieces for roasting.
Tiplet: Brush onto breads either before or after toasting or even without toasting.
Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of the United States of America particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle.

Established as May 30th in the years following the Civil War, it is celebrated on the last Monday of May ——- God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust these United States of America to Your loving care.
You are the rock on which this nation was founded.

Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your will.
Lead us into a new millennium of life. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Every time I read a rant about how safe the Covid-19 vaccines must be because the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) “APPROVED” its use – just read all the Head Lines.
An FDA WAIVER is NOT an APPROVAL – it is NOT a recognition of efficacy – it is a statement that this drug/vaccine/treatment is NOT FULLY TESTED but MIGHT HELP.
Well no, NONE of the vaccines have been approved – everyone getting the vaccine is part of the ongoing drug trials – apparently small may the number be, some good people are getting really sick and others are dying from these vaccines.
In other headlines today, if the NY Yankees are any measure, the vaccines are NOT helping. In fact, there seems to be some evidence they are really spreading the disease in some cases. then we really need to consider if these vaccines are helpful. We also might find it good to ask and research why other countries are suspending their programs.
It is my opinion that we also need to be spending quite a bit more time and energy on treatment options. Just like SARS or Flu or any number of other diseases – that Geni is NOT going back in the bottle – Yes, since so many are willing, go ahead with the trials in progress.
Remember under the US CDC we have not eliminated diseases like Cancer, HIV, Heart Disease, Diabetes, and well the list goes on, but we have made great strides in treatment and that is where we need to focus in the near term.
Comprehension is Key to Useful Communication. There is no Comprehension until there is someone willing to listen to more than the echoes of one’s own version of the facts.
When I wrote this, paraphrasing words of an unknown author, now I do think it should have said a bit more .
Like the importance of not just listening but willing to listen to ALL that is said, not just what might further your narrative,
Because just maybe your current narrative is based incorrect information or innuendos not fact needs to be at least re-evaluated and as likely changed.
This was been a hard learned lesson but may explain why there are topics I find it useless to address – because they are not asking questions to learn, only to find more ways to twist reality with their alcohol induced fantasies/narratives.
