Really? Of course I grew up on a corn farm and we had corn for almost every meal from mid July until mid August. We had to get these girls some corn on the cob.
We went to a vegetable stand and bought a dozen ears of corn. I brought them home and shucked them and got them ready to cook. The girls were following me every step of the way "What are you doing now?" "What is that big pot for?" "What do you need all that water for?".
We got dinner on the table and I buttered and salted the corn for them and handed it to them - we even got out the little corn holders for them. I put it on their plates and looked at them expectantly. "How do I eat this?" Breonna asked me. Of course they don't know how to eat it - until recently they thought corn came out of a bag. So I got my ear of corn ready and modeled eating it for them. Once they figured that out there was no stopping them. I had to make them eat their fruit and their hamburgers before they got another ear of corn.
I think that we will be getting more corn before the summer is over.
