THE YELLOW MEAL

Today's word as part of The August Break is YELLOW.  I originally thought of sharing some of my favorite yellow plants, but I just couldn't get this one special memory out of my head. When my daughter was four or five she loved mixing her macaroni and cheese with her corn, then proudly called it the yellow meal.  Oddly, a local restaurant now has a side dish with these two ingredients.  Maybe she was onto something.

Happy Popcorn

As it gets colder, the kids start to hang out inside more...then crave more snacks.  Thank goodness for popcorn.

Corn

Though our corn is not quite ready we have been able to enjoy tons of sweet corn from our generous neighbor (Thanks Brian!).

Inspired by our son's boy scout troop who grill corn for fundraisers, we've now been throwing ours on the fire as often as possible.  With added butter, salt and pepper...we just can't get enough.

Three Corn Night

At dinner last week my husband accidently made three corn side dishes. Not sure how it happened, but we had simple boiled corn, corn-on-the-cob, and corn stirred in with zucchini...all during one meal. He didn't realize until we sat down to eat. And he thinks I can't focus. {available}
