Today,when we got here,we went to my grandparents-who-live-on-a-farm's house(both my grandparents live litrilly a half a mile away from each other...)
Aunt Jackie and a whole slew of my cousins had already shucked bunches and bunches of sweet corn that my grandparents had been growing
So Gramaw heated bunches of corn in water,
then gave it to me,Dad and Aunt Jackie to take a knife and scrape it all off.
In the beginning I had my pointer finger rubbing across the knife handle as I sawed away at the corn,then I realized that it was creating a blister.
So I creatively decided instead of having my pointer finger around it,that I should put it on top...to my advantage my clever idea worked,and I only have a very small blister from the previous way of doing it.
It's too bad that corn doesn't have any lotion like qualities...my hands would be very soft right know from all that corn juice if that was the case..LOL
I don't think I shall enjoy the smell of sweet corn for a while......
It was fun anyway,even if I consumed a little too much corn by snacking on it a bit while I waited for the next load to scrape up,hahaha
