So, we headed to my mom's to borrow her turkey boiler and freeze up some corn (after eating our fill of course!).
We ended up with 4 big paper sacks plus 5 plastic bags...I lost count, but there had to be over 13 dozen ears!
We pulled, and we husked and we knocked that pile down!
The sun setting on a pile of corn really is a beautiful thing :)
The aftermath of all of that corn was a yard full of silks and husks....yes, dad, we picked it all up! I forgot to take a picture of Jim cooking all of this corn, but it was perfection!!!
Fill a turkey boiler 3/4 full of water, bring to a boil. Add a couple doz ears of corn, cook for 2 min (for freezing only...according to Joyce, the perfect ear of corn is cooked 4 min after the water returns to a boil). After the 2 min, use your grill tongs to remove corn from the boiling water and toss them into a Rubbermaid tub full of ice water. Let them swish around for another couple of min to cool down. Repeat over and over again until all of the piles of corn are done :)
Now the fun part...cut the corn off of the cob and have the hubby (who was done cooking corn in a flash) bag 4 cups into each freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and freeze for a lovely taste of summer during the bleak winter!We ended up with 4 big paper sacks plus 5 plastic bags...I lost count, but there had to be over 13 dozen ears!

Next up, finding something to do with an overload of grape tomatoes! Any suggestions? (Corey gave me 6 plants for mother's day and they have gone crazy!)
