Mmmm. That's hard to beat. I'm working on an article about poverty food, and that's pretty much it.

Do you grind your own corn for cornbread? I started doing that while I was bootlegging the pig here in town (unlawful to keep a pig in town, so I didn't keep her long).

And fresh ground corn for cornmeal beats the bagged stuff hands-down.

Speaking of 'poverty cooking', here's a resource I like. "real" recipes, and some good commentary. Her old black pot is bigger than any of my cast iron pots, though I do have both a couple of 'granite ware' kettles and an aluminum one that big.

Yes, I do grind my own grains. A couple of years ago I scored a Schnitzer Grano mill with stone wheel. Adjusts from cracking corn to the finest flour.

I grind my own wheat and flax seeds using a coffee grinder. Just throw in a couple of handfuls of seeds and grind till fine.

How do you do the corn?
