SUMMER RENTAL
episode 8

THE CORN COURSE








Daddy B.B. and Red may have met their match with cooking lobsters,
but, there's one food that above all others is in their blood.





It all goes back to when Red's Great, Great, Great Grandmother, Rosemary,
arrived in the Heartland 'from away'. Here she met and married Jebbediah and
they soon began growing a crop they had never tasted before...corn. Rosemary took to it right away and combined it with eggs and cream from the farm, and came up with her famous,
'Deep Skillet Corn Pudding'. It was a hit and won a Blue Ribbon at the Heartdale Falls
County Fair. ( A special thanks goes out to the Heartdale Falls Historical Society
for the loan of the photo.)







So, after dropping Hoodie off at camp, they pass  a farmer selling fresh corn
by the side of the road. The corn season is short in Maine so they stop
to buy a dozen ears, but the farmer gives Daddy B.B. and extra ear...
Baker's Dozen.






Yello Hoodie is hand's down the best corn shucker in Heartdale Falls.
He knows that at dinner, the shucker always gets any extra corn.
Man, Bonz won't give up..he thinks  the corn is a bone.






One of Daddy B. B.'s culinary talents is cooking corn, called,
'The Great Corn Boil.' Everybody is chowing down corn with butter
and salt, but Red's  got that look that says her brain is churning and it
ain't making just butter. It looks like it is time for another installment of...







Red is inviting everybody into her kitchen to share a couple of
her favorite corn recipes. The first is Rosemary's Corn Pudding that her
Grandmother found handwritten in an old family cookbook,
Cooking From the Heartland.
The second recipe livens things up by using lime and red pepper flakes
to give it a tropical beat and heat.

ENJOY

Folk is a Four Letter Word
