Watergate was probably the best known cover-up attempt of all
timesā¦I say wasā¦because it has just been surpassedā¦with none other thanā¦(drumroll please)ā¦Cornbreadgateā¦

For those of you doing spellcheck at this momentā¦it aināt there yetā¦in fact, hereās the definitionā¦
Cornbreadgateā¦the attempt to cover-up really bad cornbreadā¦with lots of butterā¦
Iām here to tell youā¦it donāt workā¦
First of allā¦let me apologize to my Grannyā¦my Mamaā¦and to fine southern cooks everywhereā¦as I explain what happenedā¦
I started with some fine locally ground yellow cornmealā¦and thatās really the only required ingredient that I hadā¦so being the clever, creative typeā¦(who really didnāt want to go to the store)ā¦I improvisedā¦fat-free half and half mixed with waterā¦and olive oilā¦
The resultsā¦as you may have guessedā¦were less than desirableā¦sort of flatā¦sort of odd tastingā¦even with all that butterā¦
Bertha just laughed when she saw itā¦got out the garbage canā¦and related that there are just some things in life that you shouldnāt even try to disguiseā¦just dump the evidenceā¦and pretend it never happenedā¦wait a minuteā¦that doesnāt sound like Berthaā¦unlessā¦do you think sheās running for officeā¦geezā¦

I make the worst cornbread ever. Honest. Now when I want some, I go visit mama. NOBODY makes cornbread the way mama does…or maybe…just maybe, it's the way she smiles with love when she sees me put my face in it? Fat free, Jane? REALLY? That's like kissing your sister…what's the point?
Okay…Queenie…I've read your book…I know that you're the one who tried to 'fry' french fries in water…
But I have to agree that Mama makes the best of everything…wish our kids could say that…
