It's too cold to grow it so we have to bring it in for $1.00 an ear!<br /><br />When we lived in WA we used to buy it from the farmer's pickup--12 ears for a buck!Grandma Tillie's Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347610921670487366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-62783403915336741762010-09-30T05:19:14.172-07:002010-09-30T05:19:14.172-07:00I always thought Michigan had the best sweet corn....I always thought Michigan had the best sweet corn.

But as the younger people travel, they often have sweet corn while in the US and try to grow or buy it at home...<br /><br />Popcorn made me think of Laura Ingalls Wilder's book Farmerboy in which Almanzo fills a glass with milk and then fills it with a glass of pop corn and it doesn't overflow. I've always thought of trying this, but never have!Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-64704841709518065442010-09-28T15:12:44.240-07:002010-09-28T15:12:44.240-07:00Very sweet story about the couple from Germany!

They were shocked but they decided it was delicious. My husband thinks dried peas are animal food to his have to be fresh. The first time I made him a pot of black eyed peas with dried peas he looked at me and said ,"that is pig food"! funny the different customs people have.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-67308085363863812452010-09-27T12:22:34.278-07:002010-09-27T12:22:34.278-07:00Your story about the German couple brought to mind...Your story about the German couple brought to mind the first time my mother served my husband corn.

South African maize is delicious, and of course, it the basic diet of the indigenous when it is ground and called Mielie Meal. There is nothing better that a good Mielie with butter, salt and pepper.
