The DHM wrote a meal plan for this week, and it’s a lovely one. It would be even nicer if I didn’t rely completely on my memory when following it. I checked it this morning to see what was happening for lunch: Hoppin’ John and Bacon, with cornbread. Yummy. I got busy cooking the black eyed peas and starting the rice and then moved on to other domestic tasks like catching up on dishes and washing laundry.
I was really feeling quite pleased as I finished making the Hoppin’ John. What a productive morning it had been! And I was still somewhat on time with lunch.
And then, oh dear… it hit me. I had forgotten to make the cornbread. Hoppin’ John without cornbread is a sad thing indeed.
So, Common Room Family, I apologize. May your cornbread-less lunch be somewhat palatable.
