If Life Hands You Old Corn

Make corn meal! Remember my lamenting about getting to our corn a little late and not liking it's stickiness and chewiness? How could you forget, its like two entries ago?! Anyhow, I said to myself, "Little Glutton, why don't you throw some of that old corn in the dehydrator and see what happens." So I did because I always listen to myself. And what happened was that it dried all up. What did you think was gonna happen, it's a dehydrator, silly. Then I threw it in my little nut-chopper gizmo and then into the old coffee grinder. It looked pretty darn good.

I had to put it to the test, though, so I made some whole wheat cornbread. The Big Guy said it was the best he ever had, and he liked my cornbread before.

I'm thrilled about this because I was so unhappy about all my hard work in growing all that beautiful corn being for naught. Making cornmeal from future corn crops is not the plan, but it's comforting to know we have a great use for our old, sticky corn this year.
