On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
Yesterday, after breakfast with friends we made our weekly stop at a produce market that in season, sells veggies from their farm. Often the items have been picked mere hours before I buy them. This year’s crop of cucumbers, tomatoes, melons and peaches and lots of others have been delicious! And hurray, green beans are cheaper this year!
The corn was so pretty I wanted to bring home several ears, but decided to settle for two. I have a tendency to put corn in my fridge and forget it.
Our dinner menu was sweet potatoes, sliced pork barbecue sandwiches (I ate mine without bread but I buttered and grilled a bun for hubby) and corn on the cob. Everything was super simple to prepare except the corn. I didn’t want to shuck it, pull off the silks, boil water and time it. Then I remembered that my friend, Sharon is the queen of microwave corn and decided to call and get her advice. But I didn’t. Instead, I went online and viewed several recipes and a couple of short videos. I chose a method and the corn was incredibly delicious. (Regretting I didn’t buy more)
Now I feel a bit cheated. I chose the impersonal internet over an opportunity to talk with a dear friend. Maybe I should invite her up to visit. We can chat and “put up some peas” the easy way. : )
I will supply the freezer bags!
