Hello John,
Spin 'em! To tell if an unopened egg is raw or cooked, spin the egg on a
flat surface. If the egg spins easily and smoothly, it's hard-boiled. The
yolk of an raw egg moves around inside a spinning egg, which changes the
egg's center of gravity and causes it to wobble as it spins. This doesn't
happen with a cooked egg because the insides are solid and don't move
around.

Hi Mary,
I can't find a quilting pattern with that name. Could it have another name?
If you can give me more information, I 'll try to track it down.
Meanwhile, you should take a look at the About.com quilting site at:
About.Com Quilting
That pattern's not there, but there are a lot of free patterns available.

Hello Anita,
Well, I didn't have much luck with this. The only thing I could find was the
below beef stew recipe with sweet potatoes and corn chunks. If you can get a
name for the dish or more ingredients, I'll look some more.

Looking for a recipe for cornbread with vanilla pudding mix in it .

Hi Kim,
Well, I dunno why anyone would want to ruin anything as delicious as cornbread by putting anything sweet into it, but I found the recipe below.
This version uses Jiffy cornbread mix, but as you can see, any cornbread recipe could be used - just add an extra egg and the vanilla pudding mix.... arrrgh!
