corn


As good midwesterners we have the craving- we know it's sweet corn season back home. Unfortunately, we can't get the endless mounds of golden goodness here in France. There are plenty of feed corn fields, but no sweet corn. We buy just 2 ears of sweet corn per summer to grill just once. 3 euros for 2 ears wrapped in plastic doesn't figure out to my guy who sold sweetcorn roadside at a dollar a dozen. We also lived 5 years in a town who's main event is the summer Corn Fest. So, we need our corn in the summer. Since it's been so cold, I made vegan corn chowder. We're eating this giant pot of sweet-creamy goodness all weekend to keep warm. It was so good that I'll be making it again soon and share the recipe.
