corn bread recipe

OK - I improvised this corn bread recipe a bit. I'm writing it down mostly for my own purposes, but hopefully you might try it as well. 


(this is not a pic of this recipe - it's from a previous version)

Ingredients:

1 cup corn meal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 cup oil
1 small tin of diced chili peppers
1 cup whole kernel corn
1/2 cup shredder cheddar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Blend corn meal to salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg, cream, and oil in a separate bowl, then blend into the dry ingredients, and add the peppers, corn, and 1/4 cup of the cheddar. 

On the stove, melt 2 tbsp of butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, just until the butter melts. Swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Then pour in the mix. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden. 

Slice and serve.

Last week I used my own professional career as a process of finding the right fit in order to be the person you are meant to be.   This week I’ve been working on a new research project and one of the articles I reviewed,   Psychological Success: When the Career Is a Calling   by Douglas T. Hall and Dawn E. Chandler included the following model: The gist of this model goes like this: we begin a process of career exploration, putting forth effort to find work that aligns with our needs and values. When this goes well, we experience objective success - we can see we are good at something, and that is also often accompanied by external validations such as promotions, raises, and praise. This can lead to subjective success, where we feel validated in our choices and accomplishments. This then leads to our revising our identity - internalizing the successes and gaining confidence in our new-found competence. I often ask physicians, for example, when they internalized their identity as a phy

un-becoming

  I came across this Paul Coelho quote last week and I have been thinking about it because it reflects some of what I have been thinking about this year: “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” ― Paul Coelho I enlisted in the Massachusetts National Guard in April of 1989. I did so for a number of reasons - some of them financial - but also because I really wanted to be part of something that I thought was admirable, and to go through training that I thought would improve my character. I wasn't wrong. It was financially beneficial - I have been largely financially independent since that decision - my folks still helped me with school, but I reduced their contribution by about 90% - and then I went on active duty as soon as I graduated in 1992 and never looked back.  But something I learned fairly early on was that I was not going to be a great
