Is that Corn Bread Blue?

Yes the corn bread is blue. And it is supposed to be because it was made with blue corn meal from blue corn. Surprisingly to me, most of the people in my dorm did not even know that blue corn existed. Blue corn is a staple food in the Southwestern United States and Mexico, but perhaps not in Texas or Tex-Mex food.
Growing up in New Mexico, it was not uncommon to get blue corn tortilla chips while waiting for your meal or even enchiladas rolled in blue corn tortillas for your actual meal. This was because of the Native American influence that has affected New Mexican Cuisine. The Pueblos Indians of New Mexico have been using blue corn at least as far back as the 1500s, when the Spanish explorers discovered the region.
I decided to make blue corn bread as my comfort meal because it reminds me of New Mexican Cuisine. In researching a recipe, I found out that blue corn produces a much sweeter flavor than yellow or white corn and actually contains 20% more protein.
Not being able to decide on which recipe I wanted to use, my dad helped me out by sending me some blue corn meal from New Mexico and his simple recipe for his yellow corn bread that he makes for Thanksgiving. I just substituted blue corn meal, which is actually rather gray, for the yellow corn meal that the recipe calls for.
Unfortunately there were some mistakes made in the kitchen. The recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, I accidentally put in 2 cups. The mixture then became extremely runny. My dad, bless his heart, measured out the exact amount of corn meal that I would need for the recipe, so I only had enough corn meal for what the recipe called for. I just kept adding flour to try to make it thicker.
Eventually I gave up and just put it in the oven. It was a little dry, but it actually did not taste to bad.
