Cornbread

Ok, so I really didn't want to be the first to post.  But I was so excited about my new find that I just couldn't help myself!  Cornbread is one of my favorite foods and I've been craving it since arriving in Uganda.  I had no luck finding cornmeal (the essential ingredient) and maize flour just isn't the same thing.  Last week, I saw a box of polenta at Kissimente Millenium.  Turns out that polenta is the exact same thing as cornmeal - you can use it in your cornbread recipe cup for cup.  Most grocery stores in Kampala carry polenta.
