Joan and Gene Gerardy grind cornmeal using their electric mill.<br />
Living off the<br />
Land<br />
Joan Gerardy brushes<br />
off the excess ground<br />
corn from the sides of<br />
her electric Magic Mill.<br />
“Gene [her husband] ground some<br />
corn a few days ago and didn’t clean<br />
it out,” she said, sweeping away the<br />
cornmeal granules with a well-worn<br />
paintbrush.<br />
“My dad always told us kids we could<br />
use whatever we wanted in the garage,<br />
just be sure to put it all away like you got<br />
it when you’re done,” Joan said with a<br />
laugh.<br />
