Day 8: Learning, growing...and corned out (for a few days)


So, after tonight I need a break from corn. Made a delicious Cheesy Corn Bake. It's essentially macaroni and cheese with corn instead of noodles. It was yummy. But, I'm getting to creative for my own good as I thought it needed a little pizzazz so I added some extra cheddar on top before putting it in the oven. Well, that caused the liquid not to bubble off and it was a little soupy. So, I pretty much had corn soup two nights in a row. I should just learn to stick to the recipe, but I watch Top Chef and think I know something.

It was nice, though. My brother and his wife came over and enjoyed the meal (I served some sauteed chard on the side). Jill mentioned on facebook that she was interested in the challenge so I was happy to share a piece of it with her.

I did reach a milestone this week. I think this is the very first time that I used every single item in my CSA share before the next week. I looked in my fridge tonight and was shocked to see no more veggies from Sommer's Harvest Farm. I still have some carrots left over from the market but I think I'll make some corn fritters with the little bit of corn left over in the morning and that will be that. I'll probably take a trip down to the pick your own garden on the farm tomorrow and then I get another share on Saturday.
