That kind of looks like Indian tobacco here, but our leafs never go up the stalk that high.

The highbrow people around here call it Mullen... us commoners not so much.

Some do; some don't, here. That one is a particularly healthy specimen. It seems they pop up anywhere the ground has been disturbed. It's a biennial, so the first year they're not so noticeable. Second year they're the healthiest. After that they seem to go downhill--fewer leaves, fewer stalks, smaller. They are considered an invasive species here, but I really like them.

well, have not done any of those....
also I think one might be a Southie if it's 54º on Jan 2...

I don't know... I'm in Kansas, never done any of those things, and occasionally we get 54 degree days in January.

For all southies reading this...
There is an EGG-cellent youtube channel called ''its a southern thing!''

When you're using cornmeal from the store shelf, you kinda *need* a little sugar to mask the fact that it's gone rancid. I don't splurge on a lot of health foods, but I don't use Walmart cornmeal. I get the fresh, expensive stuff and I keep it in a vacuum sealed bag in the deep freeze. Ideally I'd grind it myself, but it's too many carbs--not worth buying a mill. I hardly ever eat it.

What’s wrong with sugar in corn bread?

Kansas is firmly in Southie territory. Check the map.
