For, if you reflect a moment, you will see that, while it is easy to choose what virtues we would have our wife possess, it is all but impossible to imagine those faults we would desire in her, which I think most lovers would admit add piquancy to the loved one, that fascinating wayward imperfection which paradoxically makes her perfect.
Hominy is a food which consists of dried maize kernels which have been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization.o make hominy, field corn (maize) grain is dried, then treated by soaking and cooking the mature (hard) grain in a dilute solution of lye, slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or wood ash, a process termed nixtamalization. The soaked maize is washed, and then ground into masa.
In the South, however, hominy came to mean skinned kernels that were then ground coarsely to make grits.. To add to the confusion, most of the South (except for Charleston SC, which holds to the old ways) calls grits hominy grits..
