Randy's Killer Cornbread
"Derived from a Beth Hensperger recipe, it's rich, mellow, moist, and just plain outstanding. It doesn't seem to stale quite as quickly as standard cornbreads. Add in some chopped roasted green chiles, pine nuts, crumbled cooked bacon, chopped black olives, berries, grated orange zest, whatever strikes your fancy, but it's great plain, too.
Note: cornmeal is best stored in the freezer, as it tuns rancid easily. Cornbread made with rancid cornmeal has a horrible bitter taste to it."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
