But there's gonna be some rules!I grew up right on the KY, TN, VA border while my husband's mother grew up a few hours north, near Lexington, KY. Bill wants sugar in his cornbread, just like the recipe for corn muffins in this book.I grew up too poor to waste sugar. Cornbread tastes good enough by itself and doesn't need doctoring.That said, there are other intriguing recipes to look at. The last cake I made my oldest daughter had hidden layers of lemon curd. I bought the stuff in a jar, split two round layers of a layer cake and used lemon frosting. She didn't know it was coming till the cake was cut.If the cupcakes are half as good they will walk off by themselves, but I would suggest refrigerating any the muffin thieves miss. The curd sinks into the cake, making a mushy cake that still tastes good but has lost the initial effect.I was pleased to see a take off on my favorite doughnut, but I thought putting the chocolate icing on the cake turned it into a Lady Baltimore, not a Boston anything. Well, who cares as long as it tastes good. Since it isn't fried in fat like a doughnut it might have fewer calories, unless I eat more of them.Again, I'll be skipping anything with seeds because of Bill's diverticulitis. It doesn't seem right to make something he can't eat.This book does offer a variety of flavors: every other thing isn't chocolate, for instance, and most of the ingredients are found in your cupboard already. I was ready to make the mint cupcakes tonight, thinking the peppermint flavoring I already had would be used.Nope! Creme de menthe. Guess I'll have to make a stop at a certain specialty store first.Good thing tomorrow isn't Sunday.
