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:

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!
