A Short Bit About WHY We Made This

We had leftover corn muffins the other night, and I was musing on how to serve them, what to do with them. My husband said why not make cornmeal mush? And I immediately shot him down and said no, that’s something else, different.

A heated conversation ensued. It ended in him calling his mom and confirming that what he was thinking of was cornbread cereal not cornmeal mush. He said he loved it as a kid and so we had to make it. And you know what? It was delicious!
