Speaking of Southern treats, I made my first watermelon pickle. Love it. Good thing too, 'cuz my husband doesn't. I used a small heirloom watermelon, gave some away and still have a pretty big jar to finish!

Oh yes. I do add things to cornbread. Onions are great. Canned corn (drained). Hot peppers. Broccoli. Cracklings. It's hard to go wrong.
You're talking about the rind on the melon right? On the pickles?

I'm more likely to add traditional things like cracklings (-: If I get too fancy (per Southern standards), the boys won't eat the cornbread, and they pout.
You used the watermelon rind - yes? For the pickles? My Grandma made those, but again I run into the boys balking at some of the old time Southern favorites.
Whew! What's to become of the McDonalds generation?
