Menu week of Sept 13

The corn and tomatoes have been so good this year!  I was excited to still find some of  my favorite corn, bread and butter aka bicolor, at Homestead Farms today.  I got to use my new toy- a corn stripper that took the kernels off the cob so fast- way easier than using a chef's knife.  And neater too although there was still a bit of spatter or maybe I had some really juicy corn.  That gadget was worth every penny of the $10 it cost (Target baby!)

Sunday
