I hope to get the weeds, amend my soil out so I can plant my peas after I get other stuff done. Another beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest on the Olympic Peninsula in Chimacum. Yay.

It's interesting the blue color which probably is healthy with the antioxidants in it.

I get my pickling lime from www.canningpantry.com. You can also use wood ash which I think I mentioned in my blog post. I haven't tried that way yet, but it would work if you can't find the lime or are out of it.

Rachel, thanks for the link. I've never done used that process and have always just run mine through the grinder. Interesting and maybe I will try it, if i can find some pickling lime.

I use Hopi Blue Corn from Turtle Tree Seeds. I love the blue color of my cornbread, mush etc!

Kathy, I use Bloody Butcher corn from Seed Savers Exchange. It's an heirloom variety (no GMO) and grown organically. I like it because you can pick it young for fresh eating or leave it to dry and become flour corn.

Connie it sounds like you did a good job with your daughter because she is accepting fruits and vegetables now. Sounds like she knows what she is suppose to do with it too.

Which corn do you use for grinding? Any specific corn seed you use? Does anyone know if corn seeds have been genetically modified and the best to buy?

Stupid site. There's a link in that post. Click on "Here's how you make it."

Hominy/nixtamel is slaked corn. Here's how you make it. You can grind it coursely for grits, which I LOVE or make a finer flour for tortillas.
