Iowa Summer = Sweet Corn!!

On this day -- Warren had his very first experience with sweet corn...
Although, he was so mesmerized by the hummingbirds, he really didn't seem very interested...
John LOVES doing the grocery shopping. And every year, at Thanksgiving, he buys two or three turkeys. Since we have THREE FREEZERS -- he thinks it makes perfect sense...
If I'm going to make a turkey in July -- I MUST have sweetcorn...
And some company! Who are we kidding?? THIS IS A LOT OF WORK, PEOPLE...
But sooo well worth it!! Even if Warren doesn't remember his first sweetcorn meal -- his sister Lilly will!! (because she remembers EVERY little thing)
The other summer MUST EAT is tomato sandwiches...don't forget...soft white bread, with mayonnaise on one side, and chunky peanut butter on the other side....

  1. The local sweet corn in Puyallup is pretty darn good too!
    Though, I can't understand why people pay $5 for a roasted ear of corn at the fair, when they can buy yummy local corn just down the road 3 for $1.00 :-)
