Re: (...)
On pg 83 there is a recipe for Corn Cakes. I was thinking about putting some corn kernels into the batter but then I got to thinking, could I put the cornmeal in boiling creamed corn and have a really nice little cake?
1 c cornmeal
1 T jalapenos
1 t kosher salt
1 1/4 c boiling water
4 T oil, divided

hmmmm, I can see adding corn kernals to the basic recipes, but adding cornmeal to cream corn???
I was thinking you might try making half the recipe with less water/stock and then thin out (with cream corn) to 'corn cake' consistency...but, looking at the recipe, it looks like it's going to be very thick as is. When I make polenta, I use (normally) 4 to 1 or 6 to 1 water to cornmeal.
Theirs calls for almost 1 to 1 - that's going to be thick. What do other polenta makers think??
But corn kernals would be really good addition, I would think, Jan. Let us know how it turns out.

Since it will be so thick, maybe I'll just add a cup of creamed corn and see what happens. Or maybe I'll roast some ears on the grill and just add those smoky kernels.
I'm just planning some weekend meals.

What's not to like in that - I love adding corn kernals to cornbread.
