more Southern taste delights!

Thought I'd seen most everything here, and along comes Fried Corn.  Frozen in a chub, shaped like an ear of corn no less, with cream and sugar (of course).

Despite our regular exercise, we are likely to come short of our weight loss goals, but at least we will not have added any extra pounds.

On the plus side:  The local/regional produce is now coming on - we've got fresh corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, tomatoes, blueberries, squash, and peaches so far, and it's only the first week of June.  Except for the local corn, most of the other items come from Alabama, which is not very far away.  So delicious.  We'll get a double-season of fresh produce this year, as these items will be available until we leave, and when we get home, our own produce will just be coming on.  Lucky us.

I saw combines in the fields cutting fall wheat on May 20th.  All the fall-planted wheat and barley around here is now cut.  Field corn has tassled.  Soybeans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes are growing, and will be mature in 2 months or less.
