Simple Pleasures
By Mitch Berg
I have to credit this little pan full of heaven to my ex-mother-in-law. It’s “corn pudding” – basically a corn casserole, served as a side dish, as a substitute or (if you love your corn and stuffing as much as I do) supplement to stuffing (and you can have my corn pudding or my stuffing when you pry them from my cold, dead, carbo-bloated fingers).
I’ll be churning this out by the panful tomorrow. The kids and I will no doubt fight over it:
Corn Pudding
1 large can whole kernel corn, undrained
1 large can creamed corn
1 8 oz carton sour cream/yogurt
1/2 C melted butter
1 pkg Jiffy cornbread mix.pour into buttered 8″ casserole or cake pan
bake 45 min at 350
top with grated cheddar cheese and bake 15 more min
if you do not want cheese topping bake the pudding for a total of 60 minute
The rest of Thanksgiving dinner? I wised up and ordered the turkey and all the fixings from Kowalski’s this year. Mmm Mmm Good!

Looks interesting.
I was missing something for over a week that I though I was getting: The Shot In The Dark news feed.
Would you, could you, modify http://www.shotinthedark.info/oldsite/index.rdf to include a link to a new article saying “hey update your news feed for SITD here!”. Maybe just stick a link for the new feed in there. *shrug*
Regardless, have a great Thanksgiving.

Yum-I love Corn Pudding. Never thought of that for this year…I wonder if I can fit one more thing into the oven.
Thanks for the recipe!
Notice how Jiffy Cornbread mix is the Cream of Mushroom soup of the baking world?
I’m “brining” a turkey this year. Hopefully (and I’m only saying this because my dear mother will NEVER read it) we will be able to swallow it without the “sawdust in the throat” effect that her cooked-to-death turkey brings about! My mom is a great cook (wonderful fried chicken) and my mother-in-law even more so-she brought bread to the State Fair once, BUT, her lefse is as thick and as pita bread with a very strange consistency. Pure Norwegian and can’t make lefse worth a darn. But we eat it anyway-and smile while we do it!
Happy Thanksgiving! We still live in the most wonderful country in the world.
