My pub church provided a meal for another congregation in town this morning. The menu was red beans & rice, mexican cornbread, and apple cobbler. Yummy.

The cornbread, which I had basically made up using some recipes I found and smashed together, was a big hit…

You can make it too!

Mexican Cornbread with Sausage (serves 160)

6 pounds of pork breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
24 boxes of Jiffy Cornbread mix
24 eggs
12 cups milk
112 oz. creamed corn
72 oz. canned corn
28 oz. chopped jalapenos
28 oz. chopped green chilis
24 cups shredded monterey jack cheese

Mix it all up. Pour into lightly greased pans. Bake at about 400 degrees until it pulls away from pan and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean (time depends greatly on the size of pans used).

Enjoy.

I got a puppy. Her name is Denali (Nali):

LOVE.

Some friends came over to see her and I had this conversation with their 2 year old.

Sarah : You have fat boobies.
Me: Yes, I do! Do you have fat boobies?
Sarah: No, I have cute boobies!
Me: Are you saying my boobies aren’t cute?
Sarah: *nods head*
Me: I bet some might disagree….

About 72 hours until I head out to Alaska. Have you been there?

What’s the best thing to see/do in the Fairbanks/Anchorage areas?

I arrive on the “longest” day of the year, June 20th, and it’s my understanding that the sky will not fully darken for the entire week I’m in the state. Thank goodness for shaded windows.

I’m off to bed - I badly need to reconcile my sleep debt.
