Maddie:This is off topic from your thread but I've been meaning to ask you something as you are from England. One of the things I'm interested in regarding Abraham Lincoln are the statues that have been made of him. Are there any Lincoln statues in the area of England where you are? Or Lincoln statues in England that you are aware of?

Yes indeed. Here we go. Erected in Parliament square, London

there is also one here, where I live, in Manchester.

I agree that we should have specified corn meal batter for those dogs. Donna, you sound like my grandmother's kind of cook. Now, shall we introduce Maddie to Southern spoon bread and peanut soup?

Oh don't. I have a thing about southern soul food. Love the stuff.

Maddie -- for a corn dog, the hot dog must be dipped in a batter made of corn meal, not flour. The 'secret' to making good corn bread is to bake it in a cast iron skilllet or muffin pan.

Aha!!!! i cooked it in a silicone baking tray. might account for the awful 'rubbery' taste. Hahaha....
