I'm not sure if it is nesting or something else but I have the urge to get all the "I-Have-Been-Meaning-To-Post-That" blog posts up. So here is one from a while ago.
We have some friends, Dan and Susie, who grow sweet corn at their house. We always have a freezer full of corn because of their generosity. This year was no different from the past except the corn came with the husks on.
 |
Brinley woke up and saw the corn in the boxes and said
"Look at all the pickles, Mommy!"
(She had never seen corn with the husk on!) |
I had never done the whole "freezing corn" thing before so after some google-power, we got to work. Here's what we did:
 |
Step 1: Shuck the corn.
(When I shucked the first ear, Brinley said, with GREAT enthusiasm,
"THERE'S CORN IN THERE!") |
 |
| Step 2: Take out the trash as it fills with husks |
 |
| Step 3: Find crazy little baby corns and photograph them. |
 |
| Step 4: Boil the Water |
 |
| Step 5: Boil the corn for about 2 minutes. |
 |
| Isn't it beautiful? |
 |
| Step 6: Cut the corn off of the cob |
 |
| Step 7: Scoop the corn into freezer bags for freezing. |
 |
Step 8: Get your child out of the crate
when she gets stuck |
 |
| And enjoy.... |
