Fried chicken, mac and cheese, and cornbread are some of our staples. When we lived in Manhattan, we used to get our fix at Spoonbread Two at W. 110 and Columbus. Now we sidle on over to BJ's on Main St. across from the M&T bank and enjoy there, and usually, but not intentionally, end up going on Tuesday nights when Dancing with the Stars is on their TV.
Recently, we went on a Sunday morning, and boy was it good at noon o'clock! Just before all of the church folk got out. Brenda, the owner's daughter, insisted that Ruby try some of her cornbread, and don't you know, it was a slightly different taste than usual. Brenda uses the same recipe, but tells me, she is "a product of her mother and grandmother", hence the variation.
I think that may be a requirement in cooking: infusion of mother and grandmother.
