We Love Summer Corn

Since it's summer, and since summertime means fresh, sweet corn, corn on the cob has made its way to our table a few times lately. Madeline wasn't sure about the stuff at first, but she caught on quickly.

Corn on the cob is perfect for Madeline, because she is all about self-feeding these days. We've practically given up trying to spoon feed her because she's so much happier with finger food. She's particularly fond of frozen blueberries, frozen peas, bits of cheese, any pasta, and scrambled egg yolk. (No egg whites yet!) Of course, the best food is food that's on somebody else's plate!

Like Madeline, Kathleen loves corn on the cob. She also loves food that's not necessarily hers. We had corn on the cob for supper on the fourth of July. While Mama was changing Madeline and Daddy was checking the ribs on the grill, Kathleen was briefly alone in the kitchen with a pot of uncooked corn...

Yes, those are bite marks. She tested every single one!

Aren't you glad you weren't eating at our house?!
