CORN

When I was a kid we used to have corn a lot. Sometimes we would eat it off the cob and sometimes we would have it off the cob and cooked in a sauce pan.

My favorite way to have it was in the saucepan. It was the same as corn you get from a can --but much, much better! My mother would slice the tips of the kernels into a saucepan and then take a sharp knife and scrape the rest of the corn off the cob into the pan. Then she seasoned it with bacon grease, or butter, and cook until it was done--only she knew that!

I have bought many different kinds and brands of corn in the can but I have never, ever found any that tastes as good as what she used to cook!

I have also tried to make it myself but not with any success. Maybe corn was just better back in those days. Whatever, my mouth waters for a big helping of that delicious old time corn!
