el maiz
I spent the majority of the day yesterday dealing with corn.
-We picked it.
-We shucked it.
-We grossed out completely over the disgusting, sick, vile, rotten worms in various ears of corn.
-Some of us complained and whined and cried and moaned.
-I cut off all the yucky spots.
-I blanched it.
-I put it in cold water.
-I cut all the corn off the cobs.
-I put the cut corn into freezer bags.
-I froze the corn.
-I wondered why I spent the good part of my day dealing with corn, when you can buy a big bag of corn at Costco for $3.00.
-I am still pondering the answer to this question.
