She is not a "romance-type writer" but a poet and western Deb in Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753889028487254096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-2163673890117269962020-05-09T10:11:56.960-10:002020-05-09T10:11:56.960-10:00Hope you feel better soon Tina!

Looks more like modern Mexican food. Some popular historical-romance-type writers have rather dubious commitment to accurate food history, and it often doesn’t matter to the readers. Of course I’d have to do some research myself to confirm or deny my suspicions.<br /><br />Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-46899094876657872172020-05-09T06:31:56.821-10:002020-05-09T06:31:56.821-10:00I must confess that I have never had hominy.

Alas, I was sick earlier and I can't chime in on Souper Sunday this week. Hoping for next week!<br /><br />I had not heard of the book but you make it appealing.

I may do a reread of that one and then read this. I was able to get some coarse-ground cornmeal last week for polenta, but cornbread will work too!Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
