adventures in cornbread

we scored some fresh corn from a weekend farmer friend of my uncle's. since there is no way we can eat 7 ears of corn by ourselves while it's fresh, i decided to make corn soup. it was actually very nice (i was proud of myself) but it was a major pain in the ass to make. there was lots of corn and veggie remains left over from when i used a fine sieve to squeeze out the soup. what to do? i so made cornbread.

this is what was left from the soup:


additional ingredients:


yum! i love bacon:


nice and crisp!


mix it all up and throw it in a baking dish:


bake for a really long time (yes, that's my new oven/microwave! but no, it doesn't work as well as a real oven. plus its tiny):


and the finished product!


it wasn't great cornbread. the flavor was good but the texture was heavy. it turned out really dense but i suspect it is because i used the soup remains which were very wet. perhaps it will be better next time . . .
