We have been eating a lot of corn recently. Canned corn, frozen corn does not have a leg to stand on when it comes to fresh, sweet corn on the cob. The first time I cooked up five ears of corn thinking that the kids would only eat half of a cob but that wasn't enough and we all ended up wanting more.

The next time we had corn on the cob for dinner I cooked up a dozen. I was worried that we would not be able to eat that much, but I was wrong-very wrong.
The only sound at the dinner table was the biting and chewing of the corn. I had cooked it just right and the kernels still crisp, yet soft burst with sweet juice. There was no fighting or bickering that night. It was wonderful! I think that we should have corn every night, just to help keep the noise down.
This is a small picture of the damage done to my cherry tomatoes. The man child turns my lazy Susan (I think that is what the cupboard that goes around and around is called?) and climbs up it to get onto the counter. Since I come into the kitchen when I hear the loud scraping of a moving chair he has learned to do something that is very stealthy. He had a great time smashing the cherry tomatoes. Pop, pop POP!!!

Gage loved corn on the cob too! But he will keep chewing on the cob instead of going to the parts with the corn still on it. Funny kid!
