A Corny Welcome Home
07/20/2016
We're HOME!
And, as I knew and dreaded all the way home, THIS is what awaited us...17 bushels of sweet corn that needed to be picked and frozen!
Not that I don't love fresh Indiana sweet corn (Kim grows the very best in the world!) to eat, it's just not how I would choose to spend my first day home from vacation.
But when it's ready, it's ready. So yesterday we husked our way through 17 bushels of picked corn...
...which became 5 bushels of husked raw corn...
...which, after many hours and who-knows-how-many gallons of water, ended up as...
...well over 100 bags of frozen cream-style corn.
Which will be absolutely DELICIOUS when the snow is flying in a few months!
And yes, there's a patch of late corn that has yet to ripen...corn is in our foreseeable future...
We came back from vacation to...
...a corny welcome home.
Yellow gold!
