This here recipe is garanteed to work.
Take 10 or 15 big ears of corn and shell 'em.
Put that corn in yore washpot.
Be shore in git all th' sorry grains out fore you do.
Put in bout 10 or pert nigh maybe 15 gallons of water.
Put in bout a gallon of sodium hydroxide.
That 'ud be lye lest yore from Tennessee, and sho' nuff that's what they
called it up there. Anyways, its the same stuff we git when we drip that
water through ashes when we's a makin' soap at hog killin' down here.
Cook the whole mess near bout 8 hours by the fire till the grains git soft
and start to crackin open. Then git it a ways from the fire and put it in
yore dish pan.
Take it on down to the creek and wash it and wash it until all the husks is
gone, and them little black things too. Them's the kernel hearts that wuz
grown to th' cob. I ain't got any kinda idy what one of them Tennessee folks
'ud call 'em though.
Then take it back to th' house and put it back in that there pot with some
new water and cook it about that much more by yore fire. Best git up in th'
night sometime and poke that there fire some and be a checkin' th' water too.
Forin you do that go outside and git one or two of them squirrels. You kin
use you slang shot ifin you don't want the sheriff to here no shootin'.
Dress 'em and just throw 'em on in. Don't leave no hairs though.
Hair and hominy ain't good. But now squirrel and hominy shore is.
Smiles,
