Hominy is: field corn (maize) grain is dried, then treated by soaking and cooking the mature (hard) grain in a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or wood ash, a process termed nixtamalization. The soaked maize is washed, and then ground into masa. When fresh masa is dried and powdered, it becomes masa seca or masa harina.

We eat a lot of hominy - okay, I eat a lot of hominy, Cody will take a bite or two if it is in something and one day Carly eats it all and the next she doesn't like it. She's three - she is trying to assert her authority.
Why all the jabber about hominy? Today Carly was singing "He is hominy in all the world" I couldn't figure it out. Then I realized she is singing "Peace and harmony in all the world!" She loves hymnals and we sing Kumbaya in church. Peppa Pig (cartoon) sings Peace and Harmony to the tune of Kumbaya.
Confirmed - she has her mother's musical ear. I know a tune, but not the words.
