• Tengo una crema de maíz que me encanta. Extrae la pulpa y el jugo de los granos, y lo hiervo a fuego lento hasta obtener una crema de maíz con una consistencia casi de puré de patatas. Le añado mantequilla y, al final, cebollino fresco picado para darle un toque de color.

• We are as much strangers in nature, as we are aliens from God. We do not understand the notes of birds. The fox and the deer run away from us; the bear and tiger rend us. We do not know the uses of more than a few plants, as corn and the apple, the potato and the vine. Is not the landscape, every glimpse of which hath a grandeur, a face of him?

• El hambre te inquieta. Sueñas con comida: no cualquier comida, sino la comida perfecta, la mejor comida, comidas mágicas, famosas y asombrosas, el único trozo de carne, el sabor exacto del maíz mantecoso, tomates tan maduros que se parten y endulzan el aire, judías tan crujientes que chasquean entre los dientes, salsa como la leche materna que canta a tu torrente sanguíneo.

• A sea captain when he stands upon the bridge, or looks out from his deck-house, thinks much about God and about the world. Away in the valley yonder among the corn and the poppies men may well forget all things except the warmth of the sun upon the face, and the kind shadow under the hedge; but he who journeys through storm and darkness must needs think and think.

• I have more questions than answers in this world as do most poets and writers. The field of memory we exist in is absolutely encompassing and is both a question and answer. It is memory that provides the heart with impetus, fuels the brain, and propels the corn plant from seed to fruit.

  Not far from where I stood,
  Dragging the corn by her golden hair,
  Into a dark and lonely wood.

• August is ripening grain in the fields blowing hot and sunny, the scent of tree-ripened peaches, of hot buttered sweet corn on the cob. Vivid dahlias fling huge tousled blossoms through gardens and joe-pye-weed dusts the meadow purple.

• People like to blame Mexican food, but look at what's happening globally, look at all the fast foods and products filled with trans fat. Before the Mexican Revolution, a hundred years ago, people were eating what now macrobiotics tells us to eat, corn, black beans, rice. That's what people were eating - and chile peppers. That's a healthy diet.

• The valuable properties of this cement depend in a great measure on the mode of preparing it for use. The mixing should therefore be conducted with care in order to form a perfect union of the powdered cement, sand and water. This can be best accomplished by the use of the New England corn hoe on a board floor or by beating with a hand stamper; not much labour is required if properly applied. Mechanics can judge when the mixture is perfect by the appearance of the mortar, which, when properly prepared, very much resembles putty.

• Candleford Green no era más que un pueblecito y a su alrededor había campos, prados y bosques. En cuanto Laura cruzó el umbral de la puerta, pudo ver algunos de ellos. Pero el mero hecho de ver desde lejos no la satisfacía; anhelaba adentrarse sola en los campos y oír el canto de los pájaros, el tintineo de los arroyos y el susurro del viento entre el maíz, como cuando era niña. Oler y tocar las cosas, la tierra caliente, las flores y la hierba, y quedarse mirando donde nadie pudiera verla, absorbiéndolo todo.

• IT WAS TESS who told me about the crowd going to the all-night dance. We'd been school friends. We'd picked mushrooms and pretended to have seen a big ship. She had got married since I went away; it was a made match, a man from the midlands, a Donal, who had worked in a garage but took to farming, out all day, draining fields and callows so that he could till them and sow corn.

• Oh, hermanos míos, no contaminéis vuestros cuerpos con alimentos pecaminosos. Tenemos maíz, tenemos manzanas que doblan las ramas con su peso, y uvas que se hinchan en las parras. Hay hierbas de sabor dulce, y verduras que pueden cocinarse y ablandarse sobre el fuego, ni se os niega la leche o la miel perfumada con tomillo. La tierra te proporciona abundantes riquezas, alimentos inocentes, y te ofrece banquetes que no implican derramamiento de sangre ni matanza; sólo las bestias sacian su hambre con carne, y ni siquiera todas ellas, porque los caballos, el ganado vacuno y las ovejas viven de la hierba.

Follow the directions of the Book of Mormon, and pray over, and for your families, your cattle, your flocks, your herds, your corn, and all things that you possess [see Alma 34:18-27]; ask the blessing of God upon all your labors, and everything that you engage in.
