Here goes:
Round #1 will be based on the theme of the South. Mark, being from the South is more than likely very familiar with this popular dish, loved by many of the old-timers still today. We want to bring back this traditional dish here in honor of the South, some great old friends and Mark of course.
For this, you will need 2 items. Easy enough....right.
Cornbread mix (not jiffy)
Buttermilk
Now: To prepare your Cornbread and Buttermilk fer et'in
1st, whip up a batch of cornbread prepared in muffin tins. The muffin tins must be full...
Then, in a bowl, break up a cornbread muffin, measure one cup of buttermilk and pour it over the muffin and eat it. AH!, doesn't that sound delicious?
Your video cannot be more than 5 minutes. The 1st minute, should be you whipping up the muffins, placing them in the oven, then showing the baked pan of muffins, then preparing the muffin fer et'in as instructed. The next 4 minutes you must eat all of it. You cannot wash it down until you have finished all of it.
Your video must show you eating it, we have to be able to see it. No editing or stopping the video while you eat. We have to see you eat the whole bowl. Feel free to make your video entertaining, IF YOU CAN THAT IS!!

Thought I'd share a little Southern History with you. A Snack for Hard Times
When my mother was a kid, during the Great Depression (yes, they had that in Alabama, too), cornbread was a snack, she told me. I think she used to tell my sisters and me this to get us not to eat so many candy bars and drink so many Cokes. She said she just couldn't wait to come home from school in the afternoons and pour herself a tall glass of buttermilk and then dip a piece of cornbread in it. And then eat it! (I've even heard that some people put black-eyed peas, onions, and turnip greens down in a glass of buttermilk and stir up this noxious concoction before adding cornbread!)
Assignment Recieved. But I don't have an oven. So I'm out.
Hold up, wait a minute, put a little luv in it..LOL!! Rod, not letting you give up that easily. I don't know what goes on over there in your neck of the woods. What options do you have? Cornbread can be cooked on the stove top in a little oil. We call those hoecakes here. Not sure for there. Will this work for you? If so, have a little different instructions for you. Let me know.
I got the assignment. Hopefully I can figure out how to load on YOUTUBE. I think I will make one Muffin and the rest in the cast iron corn row pan. That is the way cornbread should be eaten. And the cornmeal comes homeground from the antique gristmill at the homestead in AR. TOP THAT!
