Melting my way into blog world

Welcome to my (very bad) blog. I really don't have a club about blogging, but here we go. As I sit here watching yet another episode of the Ellen Show, because I have no job and my classwork is too easy for me, I am melting. Yes, melting. As in, I live in south Florida, it was September (not as bad as August, but still a ridiculously evilly hot month) and our air conditioner is blown. The worst part about not having a job is the money the hubby makes goes to pay bills...and I get stuck in the house with a busted air conditioner. And a hot, whiny, 8.5 month old Labrador puppy (who is still perfect, btw).

Anyone want to fix my air conditioner? Because despite the wicked heat in the sweatbox, I still decided to set the oven to 400 degrees and make sweet cornbread. Wow, I really do live in the south don't I...?

Golden Sweet Cornbread

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup yellow cornmeal

2/3 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray or lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk and vegetable oil until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Not going to lie, I definitely didn't pour all the batter into the pan because its sweet and ooey gooey drippy deliciousness...finger lickin' good. Literally. Savannah apparently thought I missed some, because she thoroughly enjoyed licking my fingers, even though I was pretty sure I got it all.

Remind me to thank my wonderful savior husband, who unbeknownst to me, sent over a guy he works with to fix the air conditioner. As I wait for that to start working, I shall finish enjoying the Ellen Show. Ellen, you always keep me company when my hubby is busy winning the big bucks and melting in the beginning of time-stealing soccer season. I love you Ellen.
