Corn-Pone Rhetoric

This assignment may prove to be a bit long as there are many questions I'm asking you to consider. 

Blog your responses to the following rhetoric and style questions found on page 721: 1-9, 11

For those of you curious about corn pone, I give you this recipe from southernfood.about.com

Corn Pone


A simple corn bread, generally made only of meal, water, and salt, without either milk or eggs.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cornmeal

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon lard or shortening

  • water, enought to make a stiff dough 


Preparation:  

Mix together cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard and add enough milk to make a stiff batter. Form into cakes with hands and place in a greased baking pan. Bake in a preheated 425° oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
Corn bread and corn pone was a staple in the mountaineer diet.  With greens, called "salit greens," meat and of course, cold milk from the spring house, this was good eating and friends were always welcome.

  2. I didn't see it on a page. Those are listed along the top of your main page. How do you keep posting to pages? It's actually an extra click usually to create a page.

    Go under manage and see if the post is there as a page or a draft or under write posts and write pages and see if it is saved as a draft.

  3. Hmm... "salit green" sounds a lot like "Soylent Green"...
