Perhaps it was her way of talking to you from beyond. How lovely to think of her looking after you all, even after she was gone. Hats off to your mom, and I will definitely try this cornbread.

Both my grandad and grandma were good cooks, they used to fight like cat and dog in the kitchen especially when cooking for a special occasion as they didn't like to share the 'glory'. It makes me smile to remember them ribbing each other about their creations.
