You should know that in France corn is generally considered to be pig food. So getting our hands on good sweet corn intended for human consumption... a VERY rare treat. (As in this is only the second time since being in France.)
We were giddy.
Okay. To be completely honest, that's not quite true. I was all excited, blabbering on and on about how many ways to fix it... Jonathan was appreciative in his usual reserved manner. There was no giddiness or blabbering on his part. But on the scale adapted to Jonathan, he was just shy of throwing up jazz hands.
Thank you, Cheryl, for this taste of home!
Jonathan says this is a chewed piece of corn. I say it's art.
Why, yes. Those are, in fact, grandgarden tomatoes and cucumbers!

so how did you find it???? i'm always tempted to raid the corn fields but i know it's mostly cattle feed... although at the same time the french consume large quantities of canned sweet corn - wonder where that's grown??
Glad you got one taste of home. Now if only they'd open a Krispy Kreme, huh?
It made me smile that I could totally picture Jonathan's "jazz hands" and what one step shy of that would be :) Enjoy the corn...and your tomatoes and cucumbers are beautiful..you must be so proud.
Yummmm....looks like a totally Iowa summer meal....minus a good beef steak. We're still waiting for our tomatoes to ripen...and the cukes are just starting to come.
I am delighted you were able to get your hands on (and your teeth into) some real corn-on-the-cob!!!
I could eat it every day in the summer.
GACK! You boiled it! *sigh*
I knew the purist would win...
:-)
