People all over America have always made cornbread, but in modern times it's become associated more with the South. Food historian Robert Moss examines how cooks were forced to change cornbread recipes with the takeover of industrialized food processing after the 1930s. Adding wheat flour & especially sugar to cornbread is akin to touching one of the third rails of Southern food -- but there are several reasons why cornbread recipes had to change. There is now also a solution for it.

The classic Southern dish using good quality pork breakfast sausage. The takeaway from this gravy recipe is using 1 Tbsp flour per 1 cup of milk. It also recommends 1½ Tbsp fat in the skillet, & includes diced onions cooked with the sausage. *Separate links given to 3 biscuit recipes.

Saucepan size – A 7″ pan is suitable for 6 eggs, a 6″ pan for 4 eggs. Don’t crowd the pan : A small saucepan with too many eggs = not enough heat in the water per egg = slower cook time. Use large eggs right out of the fridge. Bring water to a boil first, with a slotted spoon lower the eggs gently into the pot, start the timer — 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for hard boiled. Transfer eggs to a large bowl or sink of cold water to stop cooking.

A simple pantry dish that's more than the sum of its parts. Rice & pasta is first toasted in unsalted butter & then simmered in low-sodium chicken stock. Use crushed vermicelli "nests", broken straight vermicelli or angel hair, fideo or fine egg noodles, or orzo. Garnish with minced fresh parsley or dill or a combination. *Can also use medium or coarse bulgur instead of rice, with an even swap of one grain for the other by volume -- 1 cup rice = 1 cup bulgur. #rice-a-roni

No need to pre-cook shells before stuffing with a classic spinach & ricotta filling (link to beef filling also given). These are baked in loads of sauce so the pasta cooks in the oven. Top with mozzarella & Parmesan in the last 15 minutes. Makes a 13x9 dish.

Store-bought kare-ko (Japanese curry powder) has remained a popular pantry staple for decades, with too many ingredients to easily re-create at home. A super-savory, not-so-hot mix of spices featuring turmeric, coriander, fenugreek, &, perhaps most prominent, cumin, S&B brand kare-ko was first offered in 1923. It appears in many Japanese dishes. #Asian
