Thinking outside the grain: a recipe for cream of wheat bread.  

My mother makes the best cornbread hands down.  Hers is  a very simple recipe, the main ingredients being cornmeal, milk and raisins. I have never asked her for the actual recipe nor do I want to. As I have mentioned  a couple times  in this blog, I prefer certain foods to remain specific to certain  aspects of my life. That way, these meals have a greater meaning for me and the people I dine with.  For example, I have creamy Lipton tea only in New York with my relatives, roasted turkey I like to have only at Thanksgiving, and mummy's corn bread I like to have whenever I go to Trinidad. It gives me something to look forward to. And I'm sure mummy derives some joy from knowing that I enjoy her cooking.
