I dunno,

some of the ingredients in that cocktail scare me!

Mole bitters?   I scared 'em all away with the Mole Vibrators from Aldi's?

Diarrahea syrup?  Dementia Syrup?  What is that????

Where's the note on the syrup??.. @ChiliPepper  Am I missing something?

LOLOL

Not to worry...I think I'll let YOU try this one first!

Corn clothes with candy corn shoes!  Now THAT is a fashion statement!!

I thought it was too early for really good corn on the cob anyways?  Around here the good stuff is about 2 weeks away....home grown anyways.

Wegman's has had it a few times.  We tried it once so far...not the best.

I'm holding out for the bread and butter corn!  (small yellow and white kernels)

When that comes in locally it is so fantastic.  No salt or butter needed.

I only boil mine for 5 mins. max.  I don't like it mushy or chewy.  I like it with still a good crunch!

Ah yes so it is Thankful Thursday is it not? . . . well yes it most indeed is and here is what I am most thankful for:

1 - ALL OF YOU

2 - I got my car back . . . they completely detailed it to the point that when they were coming down my street to pick me up I thought to myself "wow, that is a good looking car" . . . tee hee!

3 - The car runs perfectly and came in almost $200 of what I thought I was paying.

4 - I laughed the whole time on the ride there as the owner of the shop used to live on the street next to me so we had a good time gossiping.

5 - I bought my precious ears of corn and then decided to not be an idiot and shuck them inside the store . . . long story short, after walking back to the Produce department I was talking with a guy who was clearly my age about taking care of our mom's etc. and he mentioned he was so blessed for his job and of course I mentioned my current situation . . . turns out where he works is hiring and they are 10 minutes from my house and they come with great benefits . . . and to think if I had just waddled home I never would have had that potentially life changing conversation . . . don't ever tell me there is no God . . . 

6 - DID I MENTION YOU LADIES?

Seriously, thanks as always for hanging in there with me.  I guess being grounded took a bit of a toll on my psyche but I am back baby! . . .

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

@RespectLife since we have pretty much paved over virtually all of the farmland I have to take what I can get and since it's 5 ears for a dollar the match this week works for me.  I am going to pop it on the grill later today.

@RespectLife @ChiliPepper there are an outstanding pair of high top sneakers with corn on them at Zazzle but I cannot for the life of me get the picture to copy over . . . they could be the perfect kicks for that outfit!
