I've never had Marie Callender's cornbread, but my experience with that brand's other stuff is you start with at least a cup of salt......and go from there. Joe, your recipe looks very good. I'm cutting and pasting. On the carrot thread, I posted a link to different kind of cornbread recipe, which was pretty good if you like it sweet. It was sort of cakey. Here's the recipe, which I got by doing a search for carrot cornbread. It comes from a poster to a website called Baking Bites. The poster's name is Nicole. Sweet Corn and Carrot Cornbread 1 cup all purpose flour 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup buttermilk 1 large egg 1 large egg white 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp honey 1 cup grated carrot (I prefer a fine grate) 3/4-1 cup fresh sweet corn (1 medium cob) Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, egg white, honey and vegetable oil until smooth. Pour buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, then add in the grated carrot and the sweet corn and stir to evenly distribute. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 28-32 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the bread springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Serves 9-12.

Sorry to hear of your trouble, Annie. Hope that things work out well. ETA: no trouble, it seems, Annie. Things being as they are, I hope you can avoid any. ______ Is your neighbour's recently- moved daughter far from her earlier home? Could she visit her former GP, and might s/he know of a specialist in her new area? Maybe ask about that before her visit to give him/her time to check on possible references. ole joyful

You're right Elmer, I should have been more specific in my post. Both the phone company and cable companies are regulated. But nothing in the regulations requires them to provide workable internet. Internet, apparently, is not a "utility" so does not fall under regulation as such. Our whole community has tried to get help with the bad internet service here and there is no help. If we don't like what we have, we can cancel it, but the gov't won't force them to provide a workable service, or any service at all. (I am only speaking of the internet portion, not phone service). Our state's Utilities and Transportation Commission has taken our complaints but can't do anything about them.They also will not force them to upgrade to fiber optic. I once was canceled by an old provider (Earthlink) in error and could NOT get reinstated by the phone company because they claimed their facilities were at capacity. Earthlink had a grandfathered in contract with the old phone company, but did not have a contract with the new company, so they couldn't get a hook-up for me either. Even though my own connection should have been available. It was a mess and I had to get satellite internet for 2 years until I was able to get a workaround to get back with the phone company. The phone company 2 years later was still saying they had no capacity to add me back, but I was able, through persistence and avoiding customer service, to sign up online and get hooked up again. It took me TWO years. No one in gov't could do a thing, because it was internet and not phone service that was the problem. The FCC regulates cable tv companies, but the same problem exists. There is no regulation that requires them to extend their service lines and they will only do so if they find it financially beneficial to them. Based on the number of complaints I hear, they must not be required to provide great service either, but I've never been able to get cable, so don't know first hand.

I did "google" and odds of her contracting it again are very small. I'm trying to keep thinking that way. We still don't know which variant my son in law has, it takes 3-5 days for them to find out and then they'll let him know. When he made his appointment for his test, he was asked by the contact tracer how sick he was when my daughter caught it. He said he never got it from her. She said, "well that's not the answer we were expecting...", yet I worked in a drugstore and two employees got it. One from a customer: her husband also works in the store. HE never got it, nor did their children. Only the wife. And the other lady caught it from her step-son. Her husband and her daughter never caught it. I just dropped off their soup. They'll be home at least for 2 weeks. If she tests positive, which I believe she will that's good because she can go back to work sooner. If she tests negative, she has to take an additional 14 days off AFTER he goes back to work. She's working from home right now. But to answer the question: if someone tests positive in your household, you must ALL quarantine. You cannot step outside of your home at all. Even us talking at her door was a no-no. But we wore masks and I stood a good 10 feet away from her, as I did in January every time I dropped something off for her.
