I love the corn tunnel. What a great image. Also the stand of the corn from the distance is also beautiful. Those recipes make me hungry!

Yum, now you’ve started a craving. I’ll have to incorporate corn into tomorrow night’s dinner.

Think my little boy had too much sweetcorn last night. I like the post. Unfortunately the crows got to ours before we did.

We just made corn fritters, and then picked some more corn (60c/ea) up at the local farmstand for more!

Can’t have too much corn, we think.

oooooohhhhh, that photo of the field of corn with the house in the background is just lovely! and i wish you could share the fresh corn with me. I will be freezing some myself, probably just after Labor Day.

Have you tried corn fritters? We used to love them! Batter with corn, dropped by tablespoons in hot oil, drained on paper towels, served with maple syrup. Yum!!

I grew up on a farm and we had lots of sweet corn. My mom did the work. Fresh-frozen corn is wonderful in the wintertime. I don’t envy you the upcoming labor, but it does pay off later. Enjoy!

My favorite corn recipe is from Rick Bayless’ Authentic Mexican. I think. Basically, Mexican corn and chile chowder. You puree some of the corn to thicken the soup. I also like corn with lobster – cook bacon, sautee onions and pepper, add corn, and balance with a dash of vinegar. I have loved other people’s corn pudding, but never made it myself.

I bought corn seeds to grow myself – an old fashioned non sugery enhanced anything variety which is hard to find these days. I bought it for a friend of mine who misses the corn of his Ohio youth – today’s corn is too sweet and perky for him. I found Ashworth corn from Fedco seeds. It was formerly known as “rat-selected” corn because it was the variety the critters liked the best. I am a sucker for a good story. I never did plant it.

Your photos and freezing adventures remind me of my childhood. Your recipes sound great and I will have to try them, especially that cheddar chicken corn chowder, that will be perfect this winter.
