Growing up summers were lightning bugs, sun bleached hair, and sweet corn.
My Gram would make a giant pot of sweet corn at least once a week in the summer, and that was dinner. I know it seems crazy to think that a dinner consisted of nothing but sweet corn but my grandparents raised SEVEN kids and a pile of grandkids. There was always someone eating dinner at their house and if it was summer, you would find a big plate of sweet corn stacked up in the center of the table.
My grandparents raised a couple acres of sweet corn and there was always enough to go around.
Sometimes I'm shocked that more people dont have sweet corn as a meal but then again it is a little odd. It was just the perfect dinner after working in the heat all day.
I miss those summer days and dinner with my grandparents. I might just have to have sweet corn for dinner, for old times sake.
