Soups on with a side of cornbread!

I sat with my cookbook and made a grocery list of all the things I needed for a few recipes. I really needed to collect several things I was lacking in the spice cabinet and liquids like sherry, red and white wine vinegar. I started this morning with marinating a beef brisket, it has to marinate for 24 to 48 hours.

I decided to make Sherried Tomato Soup and a pan of Cornbread.
