Lend Me Your Ear

One of the best things about Utah in the summer is all the fruit and veggie stands on the side of the road. And the best thing they peddle at such stands is sweet corn. Mmmm mmmm. I could eat ear after ear, it is so tasty and delicious. This afternoon I was just itchin' for somethin' to do (yeah, right) and I got this idea in my head that I wanted to freeze 96 cobs of corn. Yeah, you heard me. 96. If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it good. So I found a stand that was sellin' corn 4 dozen for $15. I bought me 8 dozen ears of tender summer sweetness. Then I put them there kids of mine to good use shuckin' 'em. I blanched the corn and put it in freezer bags. I found my mother and this website very helpful in knowin' what to do. I put 6 cobs in each bag, enough for a serving for our whole family. So I have 16 servings of corn in my freezer. Oddly enough, that doesn't seem like much. I might have to do more.

Mmmmmmm. I love tender cooked sweet corn on the cob, dripping with butter and salt. Good call to freeze that much.
