After we picked the corn, we went to my friend Debi's and husked it all, boiled it outside for a few minutes in the turkey broiler, dunked it in cold water, and then brought it in to cut, package, and freeze. Here we are husking corn:

My cousin Erinn recommended this next salad. I made two batches of it in 3 days and it's all gone. It's one of the best salads I've ever, ever had. Thanks again Erinn - it was delish!!!!

The most famous Lundberg recipe of all is Sue Lundberg's Scallopped Corn. Now, I don't dare reveal her secret recipe on the eve of her daughter's wedding (my cousin Karla), but this is the closest one I could find. This is usually what I bring to the Frane's for Thanksgiving.

We are CORNED out in this household. Luckily we have a freezer FULL of corn so in a few months we will still be eating the freshest, sweetest corn ever.
Our house repair is pretty much complete, so we have started moving back into our living space. I found my Grandma's every day silverware that I inherited, so I cleaned out our old stuff and started new. I love having a clean, organized drawer. I hope to get to ALL of them. Being displaced has forced us to to through everything and to be organized again, and that's a good thing.
Up next, I will be blogging about apples. My sister-in-law Tracy sent me TONS of apples from her parents farm so we've been busy eating and cooking with apples.
Happy corn picking!

Did you put avocado in your salad? It looks like it could use some more. Isn't it delicious? I really need to go apple picking soon, too.
