Eat Local

Yesterday I was driving to the bike path and saw a new roadside stand that advertised corn for $1.50 a dozen. I decided to stop on my way home. By that time it was down to $0.75 a dozen. The corn had been picked a few days earlier and the guy was sick of dealing with it. He actually had me buy one dozen and gave me two dozen for free. I could have had more but I don’t have the freezer space for it.

I’ve never frozen corn before and it seemed sort of complicated to cut it all off the cob. But it was really easy. I did it all in about an hour from start to finish. I have 4 quarts of corn in the freezer now for $0.75.

Eat Local

I picked up some local apples from an orchard nearby. I planned to make this recipe for Grilled Apple Brown Betty. We have an old gas grill from my parents that we have never used. We got a new tank of propane and tried to light it. It wouldn’t work. The gas was on. We had a lighter. But when we put them together nothing happened. After much trial and error and a phone call to my parents we got it started but we’re really not sure how we did it. So after much fussing we finally got Grilled Apple Brown Betty from The Vegetarian Grill by Andrea Chesman.

4 apples peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 T butter melted
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all the ingredients well. Divide the mixure between 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil and seal the packets so no liquid will escape. Grill over a low flame for 20 minutes, turning once. Serve warm with ice cream.

I actually doubled the amount of sauce I used for 4 apples. I liked it better that way. I planned on having local vanilla ice cream but I couldn’t find it in the freezer. Turns out it had rolled out of the bag in the trunk and I hadn’t noticed. It had been in there for a day and melted all over the trunk. That was a mess.

Then today I made the Apple Pound Cake posted at Autumn’s Meadow. It is very good also. The rest of the apples will probably go to the horses and rabbit.
