Corn-palooza-Corn for a Crowd

You're a little nervous that I'm writing about corn again, aren't you? Truth be told, I'm feeling a bit like the kid with no deodorant on the first day of grade seven, a ball of nervous and embarrassed all rolled into one.

I'm starting to think of changing this blog to Lotsa' Corn on the Prairie or possibly The Corn Chronicles. It's unfortunate that I could probably have a whole label on the side of my blog dedicated to corn.

There is no where better on the face of the earth to eat than at my Aunt's house. Corn and all.

Girls, bear with me. I'll leave y'all one more little tip on corn and then I promise to shut my yapper on the whole subject; for as long as it takes me to pick some out of my teeth anyway.

If you have a crowd to feed corn to, take your cooler and carefully scrub the beast out. At our last family event, my cousin was quick to point out how they don't scrub their cooler first. So bush league, I tell you.

Now shuck that corn, remove all those lil' silky bits and praise the Lord that you aren't preparing to freeze the stuff. Give that corn a wash and dump as many cobs as you like/can fit into the cooler. Pour boiling water over the whole bit and allow to sit in this boilin water at least thirty minutes before you plan on serving it. Shut that lid on tight, but rest assured you can leave it in there for up to two and half hours and the stuff is still absolutely juicy, sweet corn goodness. If you have a large family gathering coming up-this is the easiest and cleanest way to serve corn.

If you think I really have lost it, never fear. Rest assured I'm about to go put on my big girl britches and make small talk with some folks at a wedding supper. I am making myself a small cheat list on things I probably should talk about and things I shouldn't.

Top three not to talk about:
1. Corn.
2. How smooth harvest is going, who doesn't have their husband there.
3. Who has the fluffiest hair in the building.

Top three things I know will be talked about:

1.Who has the fluffiest hair in the building.
2. How smooth harvest is going, who doesn't have their husband there.
3. Well, corn of course.

Now, before this road leads me to the hall, let me announce with the happiest heart that random.org chucked out number three to me for the winner of the Muck Boot give away. Steph at The Life of a Farmer's Wife. Lady, I expect photos of you in those boots! Thank you to The Original Muck Boot Company for providing the sweetest of sweet prizes.

I shall now rastle the troops. I know full well that I can dress 'em up, I can take 'em out; mercy, you can bet on your momma's coffee cake, that it will be a spectacle.

There is so much to live for. 

Jenn, this photo is for you-a pic of the sign on barn board and two of the cutest lil' boys around.  This photo was ripped directly off of someone else's instagram account for your viewing pleasure. It's my blog, I can insert random photos to show far away friends things, right?
