8 tablespoons unsalted organic butter (1 stick), divided
1 1/4 cups finely ground stone ground organic yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, shaken before using
Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
Place 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large (10-inch) cast iron skillet; set aside. In a small saucepan or using the microwave, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter; set aside.
Place cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until frothy, then whisk in buttermilk until incorporated. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir until dry streaks are just incorporated. (Do not overmix.) Fold in the melted butter until just combined, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the skillet in the oven until hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and swirl the melted butter around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Place the skillet on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, cut wedges directly from the skillet or let the cornbread cool for another 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate.

I enjoy the ECHO field trip and I learn uniques gardening technigues. Turken Chicken and turning cow manure into gas for cooking and lighting was the particular thing that stand out for me. I feel their work is relevant to the developing world it help them become more productive in farming. They use less chemical and more resource compare to the "American" agriculture. I learn about the Moringa. Moringa has a variety of uses. Its leaves, flowers, and pods are food source for humans and animals. The flowers are a googd nectar source for honey, and the seeds are rich oil source for cooking and lubricant uses. The roots are a source of a spice and many parts of the plant have been used in medicinal preparations. Even very muddy water can be cleared when crushed seeds are added. I performing my service learning hours with ECHO and I will continued throughtout my college years at FGCU.
Some of the “nods to history” that I saw in the tour was the homage to the Olympians, the only museum in the world that displays the artworks of past Olympians. Several monuments dedicated to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone, the great inventors, who all once resided in Fort Myers. There are even several historical plaques, which mark a certain time in history involving the Calusa natives, amongst other significant moments in time, placed throughout the downtown area. One of my favorite art work was the tile mosaic depicting the history of Southwest Florida. The images included, the Seminole Indians, frontiersmen, and the World War II infantries positioned in this area.
