I say we are 'terminal DIYers,' and we try it all: Home/Kitchen Design & Building, Cooking, Baking, Sewing, Gardening, Woodworking, Homeschooling... But the seasons are changing, and in this one I plan to rediscover the artist in myself. I'm stepping out with some ideas and seeing where they take me...and us...at Our Home for Ten (RHome410)!

My First Home-ground Cornmeal
I finally got a bag of organic sweet corn this week in my order from Azure Standard, so I could use my Corona Corn Mill for its intended purpose. My first grindings were way too coarse, including what looked like corn skin flakes. I cinched down on the adjustments on the mill. It didn't seem like I got enough movement to make a difference, but the meal was much finer. A rounded cup of corn (about 1 1/4 cups, I'd guess) made 2 cups of cornmeal. I decided it was a good time to make Cornbread Muffins to go with our chili. Recipe and results to come!
