Seasonal Food
Alas, when I had braces affixed to my teeth, some forbidden things didn’t bother me – no gum (okay), no soda (fine, I didn’t drink it anyway) …but, no corn on the cob? This was very sad…until my dad, in his genius, took a chef’s knife and cut the kernels of cooked corn from the cob. Just for me. Slap on some butter, dash a little salt and voila! (Nearly) as good as the ‘real’ thing. Dad had saved Summer.
