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.

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

When in doubt, throw it out.

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.

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

It's not about the fish; it's not about the pollution; it's not about the climate change. It's about us and our greed and our need for growth and our inability to imagine a world that is different from the selfish world we live in today.
