Yesterday, as I made my way through the cafeteria line and piled two, three, four ears of corn on my tray, I found myself singing, "Corn is great. Corn makes me happy. Happy happy happy hap-peeee."
Unfortunately, I was flanked by Koreans, who don't get as excited about corn on the cob as a Midwesterner does. And I was singing out loud.
One of my favorite things to do with hap-peeee corn is to slice off the extra into a salad, into which I also dump beets, blue cheese, sometimes sunflower seeds, fresh herbs, raisins, mozzarella or bits of chicken. Then I spend the next thirty minutes chewing.
Happy happy happpeeee.
oooh, like corn in my salad too. b and i recently had a mixed green salad w/roast beef, gorgonzola, and CORN and it was FABULOUS.
ReplyDeletei'll sing with you, "happeeeee, happpeeee, happeeee, corn makes me happppeeeee."
I'm cracking up over here.
ReplyDeleteI really like corn on the cob, too. (Of course, I also have mid-western roots, so that might explain it...)
