Price increases and shortages

[Rhodie Ranch]

I was thinking about how Bay harvested all her painted mtn corn for cornmeal. I wonder if I should buy a couple of packages of corn meal? I hardly ever use it, but maybe it should become part of the staples of my pantry. Ideas?

If you are going to use it, get it. If it is just going to sit there and take up space and get old, don't bother.

Do you use cornmeal now? Often? It’s not a pricy item so if you seldom use it, I wouldn’t bother.

We keep it but it’s because we use it often. Corn bread, frying things, tamales... but like the others said I wouldn’t unless will use it. Otherwise you would probably be better off sticking up on flour if you use a good bit of it. Flour can be frozen and lasts forever in the freezer

I have a grain mill so can store the corn kernels and milk up a quart or half gallon jar of meal.

While corn has raised in price, it’s still less than $.12/lb. Not an input that will break anyone unless you are feeding livestock.

We use cornmeal quiet a bit because I make arepas. Buy a small bag and try few recipes before you invest money buying more.

oh...I looked up Arepas. Sounds yummy and a significant change from sandwich bread or the day old french bread I sometimes buy. Thanks.

We love it! It makes great egg and cheese sandwiches too

aw, shucks, i know you meant mill there, but i did have a good giggle about the idea of you trying to milk kernels of corn.
