Sounds good to me!
Last night the wife made brown beans & fried cornbread, sliced tomatoes, macaroni & cheese, and a couple of pieces of fried Spam (the Spam is for me as she won't touch the stuff!)..for desert I had another piece of that cornbread with butter

Spammity spam!
Good ice tea does not need sweetening. I brew it in a Mr Coffee Ice Tea Maker using Luzienne family size bags. And like Djohns6 said, it should be stout.
I find doubling the butter requirements on the cornbread mix makes it quite moist. Do not have to add any more butter to it after it is cooked. Plus, use real unsalted butter.

I'd be content with the pinto beans with onions and cornbread. Besides me, does anyone put a little sugar in their cornbread? Love my cornbread sweet, before adding butter and honey.
I break my cornbread up and put it on top of my pintos. I do the same with beef stew.
Love cornbread - preferably unsweetened, but I'll eat the sweet version if that's all that's available. Can't stomach buttermilk, or sweet milk either. I'm a bit lactose intolerant, but milk seems not to bother me if it's used in cooking for some reason.

Never heard that before. He's right!
While in high school, I had a job as a prep cook. One of my duties was making the cornbread, so I made it the way I liked it, with twice the sugar. The customers raved about my cornbread so much, the restaurant changed the recipe.

Like Rustyy said above. Cornbread with sugar is cake.

My wife made sweet cornbread and I said if I want cake I will
eat cake. I'll add my girls loved the stuff.
In the winter early at about 0330 fore I went oystering with my father we'd have bout a 1/2 pound of bacon cooked up 2 or 3 sausage patties right out of the 1/2 gallon jar with the lard on em. heat 'em up have 3 pancakes each. eggs cooked in the bacon grease sunny side up father had coffee I had hot chocolate. Fore we left we'd put a chunk of sausage rolled up in a pancake or two for each of us plus the coffee and hot chocolate put in vacuum bottles and off we'd go. about 0930 we'd take a break from oystering heat the sausage/pancakes up on the stove in the boat. by noon we'd usually have our limit and be on our way to the buyers wharf or boat. When we'd get home...dad would do it again but not as much for lunch. Be surprised how much cold/wet you can put up with after a meal like that. I was about 12 and tonged oysters in 20 foot of water. Deeper all I'd do was cull the oysters All hard work. Now days they have electric reels they pull the tongs up. wussies...but I still despise oysters...but I still worked the Chesapeake(among other things) till I moved here to Wyoming. My ol man made great vegetable crab soup too. He was raised up a city boy and didn't care much for cornbread. But mom was a southern gal cornbread an sweet tee

Another thing I did as a young'un was hunt for wild honey. Come Dec. Jan I'd go check all my favorite trees for honey combs. Take a bit for using, mom would heat it a little save the bees wax and comb and put it in jars. She had friends who liked the combs too. . She made cornbread with a dab or two of warmed honey...mmmmm.... with fresh butter but she had a small electric butter churn thank goodness
I just returned from a fasting doctor's appointment. This was my treat for afters.
I love the burn.

Yeah, and fine cake it is.
Just curious, but do you ever put honey ON your unsweetened cornbread?
An electric churn? You must've been RICH.
Grandma's churn was a 1-gallon jar with a mouth about 8"-10" wide and the lid had a crank on top with a little gearbox that turned a couple of wooden paddles on the bottom that went down into the jar.
Something like this one
My first experience with cornbread was in the NC elementary school lunches. The cornbread was served as bricks, and if we used some mortar, we could have built a house of them. Dry, hard, the taste of cardboard. I was probably 18 before I tasted real cornbread and could not believe how soft and sweet it could be.
