Yup, prolongrd heat and enzymes makes corn convert the sugars to starchp. Blanching it destoys the enzymes. Refrigeration does the rest.
Chilled sweet corn salad with baby squash, tomatoes, peppers and green onions. There's a buttermilk dressing in the fridge to stir in when serving.

That sounds great!

And my Meemaw's tomato pie. I have tried to duplicate her cornmeal pie crust but no luck. She may have used crisco which I wont use. But anyway, here it is, prior to hitting the oven.

Yummy! As a rule, grandma's are the best cooks!

I've been preparing food all day for son and his girl. Baked salmon with Italian seasoning, garlic and lemon, macaroni salad, and green tossed salad. Their request. I caught their colds from a week ago and am laying low. I sound like Demi Moore or a cheerleader. My voice is shot for today. I hate summer colds! Been fighting this for about three days. Thank goodness for Baldacci books at night when I cannot sleep.

Love that, Bent. Nothing better than homemade. I was just greeted by a hungry missus. She couldn't wait for the rest of dinner. She dove headfirst into the corn salad. Soft crabs are going now...

I hope you and Mrs. G have a nice feast!

Oh, and the jambalaya? You fix that one day and eat it the next. Probably will be Saturday's dinner because of our schedules. But I will post pics for y'all to look at. Happy 4th!

I just love good food, Bent. Everything fresh and wholesome. Food is medicine so if you eat well, you stay well.

Thanks!!! Interesting pic! Son had a good friend in high school from S Africa and we were talking to his dad one night about their move to the US and he thought that everyone is the US was just kinda born this heavy way. Way too many early deaths today to say the least. My daughter sees ads on TV for fast food and she says....The American Way sadly.

Factory food. That stuff is killing people, Bent. But people just don't understand. The same crap comes off the Sysco trucks so unless your paying over $75 per plate out in a restaurant, you're still eating factory food, just paying more for it. Sharpen a knife and get chopping.

Absolutely! The US food pyramid instituted in the early sixties is backwards. Toxic!
