Cornbread a La Betty Crocker, Circa 1980 image

I graduated high school in 1981 and complained to my mom that she didn't teach me to cook like all my friends' mothers had done. She gave me a Betty Crocker cookbook and told me that she made sure I knew how to read. After a flood at my house ruined it, my mom gave me her identical copy 10 years later. And now I need to record a few recipes because this poor, tattered, splotched and dog-eared book doesn't look like it will last much longer.
