What’s for Dinner?

I think my veggie bag weighed more than last week, when it tipped the scale at nearly thirty pounds. Hard to believe, but true. I didn’t carry it upstairs to prove it, only because it was too heavy. I just kept thinking, “I was dying for corn…now I’ve got corn!” Ten ears, to be exact. With tomatoes, and jalapeños, and onions…yes, some Mexican, for sure. And chili (when the rain sets in), with CORNbread. Plus lots of other other late summer doozies. Enjoy!
