Baymule’s Farm

I just make a cream sauce of milk, cream, and melted butter with flour added as a thickener (use an egg beater to blend these while it is heating) and add salt and lots of black pepper. Then combine with cooked corn scraped from the cobs with a sharp knife.

Sounds like the creamed corn we grew up on.

ours always came in a can. i didn't much like it until i got older, then i discovered cooking on my own and experimented... Mom had to start telling me things she was planning on using so i wouldn't get into them though i must admit that marachino cherries were very hard for me to resist (and still are but i do have a bit more self-control now).

i don't really much like corn, but i can tolerate it when it comes off the cob fresh cooked a bit to warm it up, better when it is roasted on the grill a bit. cut off the cob makes it way too easy to eat. i like to pretend i'm the typewriter head and mow down the rows a few at a time as i go back and forth... the extra bit of fun is that you get a 2nd or 3rd meal picking all of it out of your teeth later.

@Shades-of-Oregon yeah, I think you’d be better off with the new tires. There comes a time to throw in the towel and give up on patching and fixing. I think you are there!

@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.

Try microwaving it with the husk on. The husk needs to not have been opened. I nuke big ears for 3 minutes.

we don't peel the husks off until they're done. depends upon how many ears you put in at a time and your microwave's power level to know what time to use, but for us if we do six ears at a time it's six minutes and we turn them half way through and i move the inner ones to the outer layer so they all come out about the same. if it is just one ear it's hot enough for me after a few minutes.

The battery was fine until I left the key on. So the drain on the battery is me. I charged it up, ran it around the yard a little and parked it. This morning, dead. I guess I didn’t run it enough to get a good charge.

I did it y’all! I loaded the tractor all by myself! I strapped it down with ratchet straps, another one of those confounding things I have to re-figure it out every time I use them.

I lined up the ramps, have a deep rooted fear of tractor falling off of them. Irrational, but it’s there. I drove that tractor right up those ramps and it didn’t fall off. LOL Got to son’s house, undid straps, another learning experience-every darn time- and put the ramps in the right spot and backed the tractor off. I mowed for 2 hours, the grass was so thick that it bogged down the tractor. It doesn’t look great, but it looks better. He has 2 acres, I mowed most of it. Carson was crying and screaming bloody murder when I was pulling out, so I let him go. I tied him in the shade so I wouldn’t worry about him getting out on the highway. He is laid out in the floor like he did all the work.

I got home, unstraped and unloaded. Unhitched the trailer and parked the truck. I’m kinda proud of myself. BJ always did that stuff, I helped him. Teamwork. Now my teammate is a dog and he’s not much help.

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
