YAAYYY!

@SPedigrees ive never made cream corn like that. There is a BBQ chain in this area that makes something similar but uses whole corn and in my opinion, too much sugar. Blech.

If you're using fresh corn right off the cob, it shouldn't need any sugar. Same thing with any other creamed vegetable, freshness is key.

Sounds like the creamed corn we grew up on.

It's so rare that I get organic corn on the cob (once or twice a year) that I couldn't possibly do anything with it except eat it straight off the cob! I love eating it that way, but it's difficult to find organic corn around here and when you do it's extremely expensive.

Yes we are all wagging our tails. Hallelujah ! Sorry that happed @baymule. I guess the battery is hard to get to .
Sorry you had to load it up and take it in. You did an outstanding job. Hauling a tractor is one thing but getting it up those ramps is a whole different animal.

It’s always something. I think I burned the engine up in my lawn & garden tractor today. It was low on oil so I add a half quart checked the oil again look good . Then the engine started ok I ran it around then it started smoking, hope I didn’t blow a seal. See what’s going on tomorrow. I was to tired to deal with it today.
Guess I’ll call a mobile repair guy to come out. Need the tires replaced too.

Way to go Bay. Those ramps terrify me when someone else is loading/unloading let alone trying it myself. I think I might have been as much help as Carson. LOL

Carson was helping it's just baymule didn't realise it

I didn’t take it in, I took it to my son’s house and mowed. A friend came over and jumped it off—and showed me how to open the darned hood. I parked it by the back porch so I could open the hood and put the charger on it. I’m learning all kinds of neat tricks these days. Tractor is parked back at the back porch. After church, I’ll see if it starts. If not, now I know how to open the hood and hook up the charger. It’s the simple things…….that make me feel smart!

Imo. You're a very smart lady indeed

Same here, and the harvesting season is short, so I can only get (organic) corn on the cob a couple times a year. It was long ago when we had our big garden and used to have so much corn that I removed a lot from the ears, froze some and turned some into creamed corn.

I’ve been working outside a lot this week. It rained practically nonstop for the first 6 months this year, then stopped and got scorching hot. The yard was an overgrown mess. I’ve been bush hogging it with the tractor. There are places where I know there’s stuff “in there” but can’t see it/find it, so will wait for a hard killing frost to knock down the vegetation. It has finally cooled off to 90F degrees. The highs for the rest of the week are in the 80’s!

I’ve gotten a lot done, weed eated and machete chopped stubborn weeds. I’m reclaiming my yard. I fenced off the middle shed that hurricane Beryl blew out, so I could turn the young ewes in the yard and they have been grazing it down. I cleaned up the back porch yesterday. It looks much better now. The young ewes sure like it and climb the steps, trying to follow me into the house.

For the past few weeks I’ve been doing a lot of little stuff that piled up and turned into a day long project.

Today? I need to worm the young ewes, then let them have the yard. I need to take shelves and bins out of the refrigerator, wash, dry and put back. Utility room is a mess and calling my name, but I might not listen.

Chaos has come in for a landing, turmoil reigned, left yesterday morning and it’s peaceful once more. Carson was dead to the world, snoozing in the floor.

My friend Sarah and her 24 year old autistic daughter rolled in Thursday evening with their 2 dogs. The 17 year old wiener dog belongs to her daughter and is her dearest friend. Sarah’s other dog is a Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd mix and is very well behaved. He was put on a leash to walk him from the car to the house. Anatolians hated both dogs on sight.

My fenced front yard was very handy for keeping both dogs from becoming chew toys for the Anatolians. Carson took it all in stride. The weiner dog peed the floor twice, I chalk it up to age and being in a strange place with a huge monster dog lurking in the house and Anatolians with murder and mayhem on their minds communicating instant death from just across the driveway. The rest of the weekend he was fine and I think he enjoyed the yard.

Sarah went to Lufkin Friday morning, buying more stuff for catering the wedding she was doing on Saturday. She cooked most of the day. The client had chosen a taco bar and it was a huge hit.

Her mom came in on Friday with her dog, a spayed female part Jack Russell Terrier, who was also well behaved. All the visiting dogs are allowed on furniture in their home, but not in mine. Mom did ask if her dog could get on the couch and I replied, “ put $2,000 in my hand and she can.” Mom sat on the floor with her dog. At least she asked. I would have not hesitated to immediately correct that situation.

We all had a good time, visited, talked, cooked, put dogs outside, let them back in, and enjoyed ourselves. Mom stayed Friday night and left Saturday when Sarah and I left for the wedding. Daughter stayed here and babysat dogs. LOL

Wedding was supposed to start at 5:00……
It didn’t. Bride (who had ALL day to get ready) was 35 minutes late coming downstairs. Bride’s mother instructed Sarah to put the food out the minute the wedding ceremony was over. We did. And waited to serve. And waited. And waited some more. Bride’s mother didn’t take into account the photographers (there were 2) leading the new couple all over the place posing for pictures. We put food back in warming oven. Finally they were done, we got food back out and the people lined up. Sarah presented quite a spread, it was good food, it looked good and everyone was enthusiastic about it.

The baker for the cakes and cupcakes brought them in before the wedding got under way. She and Sarah have been friends for many years, but Sarah backed off a couple of years ago. That’s a whole ‘nother story. Those cakes were the ugliest, worst looking, piss-poor excuses for wedding cakes I’ve ever seen. We didn’t dare look each other in the eye or we would have died laughing on the spot. We don’t know what the bride’s mother paid for them, but whatever it was, it was too much.

There are wedding sites on Facebook where brides post what they want and vendors respond. Who knew? This is Sarah’s hobby and side gig. She works full time as general manager of a restaurant in San Antonio. She loves catering and cooking and enjoys it.

The Facebook groups seem to mainly be individuals pretty much planning their own weddings and not dropping $20,000 on a wedding. Can’t blame them. I’ve helped Sarah before and she does good work. She was highly recommended for this one.

All in all, it was a fun visit, they left early for the long drive to San Antonio and I fed sheep and went to church.
