Here’s a favorite and staple of the Southern diet … buttermilk cornbread!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of buttermilk
3 1/2 cups of corn meal mix (important this is the mix, which already contains self-rising flour)
2 eggs
2 tbsp canola or corn oil
Instructions:
Mix together ingredients above until reaches a consistency somewhat thicker than your average cake batter then pour into the already prepped pan. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees. You can use the toothpick test to make sure it’s done.
Prepping the Pan:
In a seasoned 9-inch cast-iron skillet (using cast-iron is vital), put about 1-2 tablespoons of oil, then put the skillet into the oven during the preheat cycle. Remove and spread the oil around by either tilting the skillet or using a brush to make sure the oil coats the bottom and sides.
Keep in mind the skillet is VERY HOT and HEAVY, and you will need to use potholders to handle it.

«La cité côtière de Tulum était une forteresse de commerçants alliée à la cité de Mayapan.
La fondation de la cité semble remonter à 564 comme l’indiquent certaines inscriptions. La cité maya de Cobá, dont l’apogée se situe vers 650 utilisait le site de Tulum comme un important port de pêche et peut être aussi de commerce pour les échanges vers d’autres cités de la région. Des artefacts en silex, des poteries de la péninsule du Yucatan, des objets en obsidienne ou en jade du Guatemala et des grelots et anneaux en cuivre du plateau central mexicain, démontrent l’importance de ces échanges. La structure 59 montre également l’empreinte du style de l'époque classique maya.
Mais la majeure partie des vestiges datent de la période postclassique tardive, c'est-à-dire après 1200. Certaines fresques découvertes à l'intérieur des bâtiments laissent suggérer une influence mixtèque.
De récentes analyses tendent à démontrer que Tulum eut un rôle majeur du XIIIe au XIVe siècle. L’archéologue Ernesto Vargas a montré[réf. nécessaire] que la cité se trouvait stratégiquement placée entre les provinces (kuchkabaloob) de Cochuah et Cozumel, ce qui, si on ajoute son édification sur le point le plus élevé de la Côte et son système de murailles défensives, l’ont placé dans un lieu inévitable pour n’importe quelle route commerciale et pour l’exploitation des importantes ressources maritimes de la région.»
Comme le montrent les fresques peintes et certains bas-reliefs, Tulum semble avoir été un site majeur dédié au culte du Dieu Plongeur.
À partir de 1250 (époque postclassique tardive), Tulum va occuper un statut civique, administratif, religieux et résidentiel, qui convertit la cité en un point stratégique du commerce péninsulaire jusqu'à la conquête espagnole.»

RE/SISTERS: A Lens on Gender and Ecology
(October 2023 — January 2024)
A major group exhibition that explored the relationship between gender and ecology, and highlighted the systemic links between the oppression of women and the degradation of the planet.
Featuring around 50 international women and gender non-conforming artists, RE/SISTERS featured work from emerging and established artists across photography and film.
Works in the exhibition explored how women’s understanding of our environment has often resisted the logic of capitalist economies which place the exploitation of the planet at its centre. They were presented alongside works of an activist nature that demonstrated how women are regularly at the forefront of advocating and caring for the planet.
Reflecting on a range of themes, from extractive industries to the politics of care, RE/SISTERS viewed environmental and gender justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle. It addressed existing power structures that threaten our increasingly precarious ecosystem.
...RE/SISTERS surveys the relationship between gender and ecology to highlight the systemic links between the oppression of women and Black, trans, and Indigenous communities, and the degradation of the planet. It comes at a time when gendered and racialised bodies are bending and mutating under the stresses and strains of planetary toxicity, rampant deforestation, species extinction, the privatisation of our common wealth, and the colonisation of the deep seas. RE/SISTERS shines a light on these harmful activities and underscores how, since the late 1960s, women and gendernonconforming artists have resisted and protested the destruction of life on earth by recognising their planetary interconnectedness.
Emerging in the 1970s and 1980s, ecofeminism joined the dots between the intertwined oppressions of sexism, racism, colonialism, capitalism, and a relationship with nature shaped by science. Ecofeminist scholars have long critiqued feminised constructions of ‘nature’ while challenging patriarchal and colonial abuses against our planet, women, and marginalised communities. Increasingly, feminist theorists recognise that there can be no gender justice without environmental justice, and ecofeminism is being reclaimed as a unifying platform that all women can rally behind.
Uniting film and photography by over 50 women and gendernonconforming artists from across different decades, geographies, and aesthetic strategies, the exhibition reveals how a woman-centred vision of nature has been replaced by a mechanistic, patriarchal order organised around the exploitation of natural resources, alongside work of an activist nature that underscores how women are often at the forefront of advocating for and maintaining our shared earth.
Exploring the connections between gender and environmental justice as indivisible parts of a global struggle to address the power structures that threaten our ecosphere, the exhibition addresses the violent politics of extraction, creative acts of protest and resistance, the labour of ecological care, the entangled relationship between bodies and land, environmental racism and exclusion, and queerness and fluidity in the face of rigid social structures and hierarchies. Ultimately, RE/SISTERS acknowledges that women and other oppressed communities are at the core of these battlegrounds, not only as victims of dispossession, but also as comrades, as protagonists of the resistance.

We are on the edge of massive multi-billion business opportunities in many industries, only awaiting someone to put the parts together that will fully exploit the major trends already in existence (or evolving rapidly.)
That's a story I often carry onto stage with me, as I outline how many aspects of the future already exist, and are only awaiting the 'oackacking' of those trends into one neat, tidy disruptive initiative.
Take the world of construction and energy. It's a given that over the long term, most homes will be powered by solar power or wind power, with natural gas or other carbon energy sources merely acting as an 'insurance policy;' for times of variability. Battery storage technology will be at the heart of the technology setup that makes this crazy economical - storage costs have declined 97% in the last three decades, and continue to plummet. The home will contain some large massive energy storage battery - and your future car will also be a part of your home energy system. Pulling it all together will be the next evolution of your home thermostat such as your Nest or ecoBee - running some sophisticated software algorithm that will keep it all running, in sync, maximizing energy production.
Some companies are working to do this already today - keep your eye on the Tesla Powerall system, but also closely watch what Generac is up to - there was a reason they bought ecoBee.
The key thing with this trend is that solar power won't just come from the solar on the roof - it will come from the very windows that are part of the home, as glass evolves to become a form of solar power generation. These windows will automatically darken with excessive external sunlight, to help cool the home. They look like regular glass windows, but act like solar panels, generating electricity from the sun. The cost to manufacture these new see-through window panes will start to plummet in the same way that other solar technology has - in other words, they will become dirt cheap, and to pardon the use of a phrase, as common as nails.
The opportunity is huge - right now, there are almost seven billion square meters of glass surfaces to be found in windows. Imagine that the glass in most new commercial, industrial, and residential construction is made of transparent solar panels. Imagine a massive retrofit of such technology given the cost path they are likely to follow. Transparent solar panels look like clear glass and let light through like regular windows. One estimate suggests solar windows and related transparent solar technologies could provide around 40% of energy demand in the United States. That's a pretty big number.
Put these trends together, and you get a pretty significant hyper-trend that I call "Connected Energy," which I wrote about in my Big Future series:
Bottom line: energy in our electrical system used to be one-way and was mostly from carbon. We are now on the edge of an era in which it is becoming a two-way system, with generation primarily based on renewables, distributed, connected, intelligent, and part of a super big hyperconnected microgrid with a lot of batteries. And AI plays a huge role already and an even bigger role in this new energy grid going forward.
For lack of a better term, I called it intelligent, connected smart energy, and it takes us into a world in which our relationship with energy changes - and leads to the birth of new billion-dollar industry opportunities!
What's happening?
Essentially, we are building a new energy grid, launching new industries, changing entire mobility platforms (automotive and trucking), and setting a path to a cleaner energy future. Much of this is currently happening in isolation, but over the decade to come, a lot of connectivity of these disparate platforms and trends is going to occur. It's already underway as smart innovators build out a fascinating new future. In that post, I covered two parts of this hyper-trend:
- grid-connected energy storage. Essentially, great big batteries store energy generated by the distributed energy resources in the system. Solar is only generated while the sun is up, and wind energy only happens on a windy day - but grid-connected energy storage solves this problem. There is a huge amount of investment, innovation, initiative, and idea generation going into this - as I explained many years ago, "The Future of Just About Everything is all About Batteries."
- HEMS or home energy management systems - We will see the evolution of a "home energy ecosystem," in which later versions of Nest and Ecobee will not only let individuals adjust and manage the temperature of their homes but will manage and monitor the storage of electricity generated on their rooftop solar panels, as well as mediate and manage the sale of that energy back to the local power company or a local power grid. In addition, HEMS devices will help to automatically deliver cost and carbon savings from intelligent appliances and other in-home electrical devices, offering up power-saving recommendations.
This is but one example of a trend that is unfolding all around you - perhaps you just don't know where to look! Other similar trends are everywhere, involving the virtualization of agriculture into a 24-hour operation, vertical farms and home food production, construction and robotics, and so much more. There are many pieces to these puzzles, each of them evolving separately - but the real magic comes when they are integrated into one elegant whole solution.
The future is all around you - and in many cases, we are just waiting for someone to put it together.
