Domestic Life

WooHoo!!!! The weekend is here. Today that just means we're doing a different kind of work. I got up this morning and sat in my new (Danny and I each got one for our birthday) rocking chair and watched it rain. It was a very enjoyable morning to sit and relax and enjoy the wet weather. I don't remember the last time we had wet weather that wasn't part of a storm...just a nice rain. As soon as I came in, it was time to start thinking about how to spend the day. That was the first mistake. I was wondering what we needed to think about for supper when the next thing I know, we are on our way to who-knows-where on a search for corn. Now, I have put up corn in years past...in fact, I have assisted in canning and freezing more vegetables than I eat...but to me, the only vegetable that is truly worth all the trouble is corn. We found corn, not enough to put up but enough to cook for today and have leftovers one day, and we ordered corn to pick up on Thursday evening. So, next week, Danny and I will take on a new venture together...the "putting up" of food. Anyone wanting to shuck corn, clean corn, or cut corn off the cob is welcome at my house next weekend. The dozen ears that we got this morning had a really good flavor and I am looking forward to having corn to eat on during the winter months. If not before, I'll be sure to update everyone on how the corn goes next weekend.
