We were of the rice and/or cornbread school (yellow, no sugar), 
thereby giving rise to the great family anecdote wherein my mom baked 
a pan of cornbread which hadn't browned in the oven to her 
satisfaction before being declared legally "done". So, she put it, 
very briefly, she thought, under the broiler, saying that this would 
make it "attractive", only to remove it some time later with the pan 
of cornbread actually in flames. 
Reminds me of the time my Dad made supper and accidently made a pone of 
cornbread using grits instead of corn meal.... seems he tried to cook without 
wearing his glasses...

You could probably have made a bulletproof vest from the result... We left in 
on the table for the evening, when my Mom got home she said she knew 
something was wrong because only one slice had been taken.. That thing is probably 
still in the landfill somewhere and it's been over thirty years.<G>
