So, I used Becca's recipe last night as she is furthest South, she said "bacon grease" and is constantly posting amazing photos of baked good I cannot pronounce on Instagram. Seriously good cornbread. I am used to the sweeter variety but I think I liked this better combined with the chili. Veggie stew, I mean. I also made a honey cinnamon butter to go with it and the combo was great.

I was pretty pleased with my entire dinner. I started with Champagne Margaritas and quesadillas of my own devising. The first was shredded pork roast mixed with barbecue sauce and caramelized shallots with cheddar. The second was a mix of goat cheese, mozzarella, Peppadews, green olives and green onions. The main was the chili and cornbread (this recipe, love it:
