The Day in Cornmeal Usage: I may have bought too big of a bag of cornmeal. Even last week’s corn bread bonanza barely put a dent in my supply. Cue the Google machine to find cornmeal recipes.

Every now and then I search for meal inspiration in my old green recipe box. In the pre-internet days I was an avid collector of recipes which I clipped and glued on index cards, or I hand-wrote the recipe onto the cards.
