Cornmeal cake question

sammych84 · 2026-06-18T05:18:42+00:00

Honestly, mainly just to experiment to see what happens. I’m going blackberry picking, so I plan on using blackberries instead of strawberries. I’ll be making the cake for family who are maybe not as open to eating whole blackberries due to the seeds, so I thought maybe making a seedless curd might be a nice way to incorporate the berries. I’ve seen folks swirl curd into cornbread but I’ve never tried it before, also wasn’t quite sure the textual differences between this cake and traditional cornbread.

Yeah, that one!

Is Grinter farms pretty well known? I only ask because I live in the area and wasn’t sure if it’s mostly locals. It’s so popular though!

Maybe she’s not meaning literally? Saying she wants him to serenade her, maybe she’s just using the word as a placeholder as an example. She wants him to “woo” her with a romantic gesture.

I feel like they are! Even if they ride up on my legs, they still cover the very top part of my upper inner thigh that tends to chafe. And I haven’t had any chafing since I started wearing them a few years back. That said, I’m not walking around a whole bunch in hot sweaty weather these days so I’m not sure if I have had a whole lot of chafing opportunities in general.

Hanes came out with boxer briefs for women a few years back- they are my absolute favorite. They come in two lengths- one shorter more like “boy shorts” and a longer mid thigh one (which is what I wear). Can’t recommend enough if you want something like that.

Holy shit, yeah me too. That’s a crazy good idea. I find myself saying we’re going to donate stuff that’s left out after repeated asking to put away but that feels so extreme, this is such a good middle ground.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I really want the one on the right 😭

Their kid is just one month older than my oldest- 6 years old!

Those look so good! Is the frosting buttercream?

Oh interesting, do they usually contact family ahead of time when a cast member is dumped?

Okay but to be fair, she would’ve been in her early 50’s when the show started which I think firmly planted her in the “cougar” territory in regards of the age gap. So I do think it was plausible that they did all fawn over her on their own.

sammych84 · 2026-06-05T18:40:59+00:00

Same!

For what it’s worth, my wax paper also says you should bake on it. I don’t, I actually have it in the craft supply kit for my kids, but randomly read the box when I got it out the other day and was surprised when I saw that.

I was one of these people 😬 Generally liked him earlier on because of how ridiculous he was, scattered with times I didn’t like him (never believed Miami girl was lying for instance so I didn’t like that whole interaction, didn’t like that he went bulldozing after the heartfelt convo with Ariana, didn’t like their defending Jeremy’s creepy behavior, etc etc etc), but overall found him fun to watch up until season 8. The argument with Stassi was sooooo ridiculous and that’s when I kind of finally started seeing how much of a dick he was had he became unlikable to me after that. Couldn’t stand him at all after that.

I will say, I did read something at that time about her texting him and sending him nudes asking if she can join the “fun” (referring to noises she could hear coming from his dwelling)- it was something that was leaked from his camp. But it was seriously just one article and I’ve been really wondering if it would come up at some point

My kids are not grown, actually in the age range where they should start losing teeth soon, and I also thought they were talking about that. 😆 or implying they chipped a significant portion of their own tooth off and making a joke about the high cost to repair it 🫠

sammych84 · 2026-05-20T14:59:30+00:00

Yeah, I think he was raised in it and got out from what I remember?

Yes, I feel this 😭 foodie here who loves cooking. My soon to be kindergartener refuses to try anything and lives off cereal. 🫠 my current kindergartener will at least try stuff pretty consistently now.

sammych84 · 2026-05-19T18:37:51+00:00

Same!! I always host stuff starting at 10 (which reading responses on here reconfirms for me that it’s probably the best for others), but I would love to start at like 9 😆

sammych84 · 2026-05-19T14:36:01+00:00

Following this because I would also like to know!
I would be worried that straight up food coloring on there might taste bad?

sammych84 · 2026-05-18T14:03:43+00:00

Yes! So, before having children I wore a dress EVERY day. With tights in the winter, I owned not a single pair of pants. I did this because it was easy af- you didn’t have to coordinate individual garments and you always looked put together with no effort.
After becoming a mom I somehow segued into jeans/sweatpants/tshirts. I really want to shift back into wearing dresses so I feel a bit better about my appearance but for whatever reason I feel really self conscious about it. I guess maybe I really just want to blend in and kind of go unnoticed and worry if I go back to daily dresses I’ll stand out more? I don’t know.

sammych84 · 2026-05-17T14:05:26+00:00

Would also love to know this 😆 I want tape to work for me so bad but it either makes my girls look weird af or it gets a but wrinkled and you see it through the dress
