i have a fondness for all things JIFFY. growing up, dad would make dinner with us every night. us girls usually got some kitchen practice with the JIFFY. measuring the eggs, milk, oil- whatever goes in those mixes. we were cracking up the other night about how we would eat the sweet ones with savory dinner- blueberry, apple cinnamon, etc. with pop's interpretations of chop suey, lazy chicken, etc.
the last night in walla we went out to the farm for a big fire, some hot chili and cornbread. i cooked bacon in the cast iron skillet. chopped jalapenos, red onions, bell peppers. chopped bacon into bits and stirred all that goodness into the JIFFY cornbread batter. got rid of some of that bacon fat in the skillet and baked the mess right in there. good.
Sierra, I think this was the most touching message I have ever read from your blog. I was really worried about you leaving at the time you were considering. Thank you so much for staying for Jen and fam. We do need you a bunch. I knew at thi time my availability was coming to a hault as well while working for this family. The gig is so great. But at times it is hard when you feel like you are wondering where your sister went. She changed....and she's back. Thank, thanks, thanks for hanging out for the return. I love having you here and seeing you choose a happy place for yourself. Rollerskating was fun and leaving I think it wa because of you. I love you, Jude
