Lunch, Day 4

Half-way meal! Lunch today is corn chowder, an apple, and the last stuffed cabbage.

Corn Chowder:

1 cup dried meal corn

1/2 cup hominy

4 cups water

2 small carrots

1 small onion

1/4 summer squash

1 /2 cup sifted cornmeal

1 oz mulberry syrup

Put ingredients in pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 90 mins. The original recipe calls for fresh sweet corn, but I have what I have. It also called for maple syrup which I used mulberry instead, and for celery which I substituted summer squash. I added the rest of the hominy I had made along with the salty water it was preserved in. The meal corn gives your chewers a good work-out. Good taste to it though.
