Interesting stuff for your brain

Dear English Classes

Here are some interesting bits and pieces for you to consider.

Here is a quiz about the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, if you are a fan (which many of your reading journals claim that you are).

I also looked up the recipe for Crackling Bread from To Kill a Mockingbird:
CRACKLING CORN BREAD
1 cup cracklings, diced
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups corn meal (mielie meal)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cracklings are the pieces of meat remaining after the lard has been rendered from the pork. Crisply fried bacon or salt pork bits may be substituted.

Mix and sift together the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk, stir in the cracklings or bacon bits. Form into oblong cakes and place in a greased baking pan.

Bake in a preheated 200 degrees Celsius oven for 30 minutes.
