Goodnight Irene

Corn...and perogies.......why not?

Irene blew through on the weekend, leaving us without power for a short time but not causing any major damage.

She did manage to flatten all our sunflowers and corn in the garden.  I had planned to enjoy all the corn we planted gradually over the next month......Irene had other plans.  Now I'm faced with about 75 cobs of corn to eat in 2 days....mmm...corn chowder, cornbread, corn fritters?

Today my plan is to bag up some of the corn....then stealthily hang a bag off the doorknob on my friend's front doors while they are at work......they will come home to discover they have been victims of a drive-by vegetabling(ok, I just invented this word).

As for the rest of the week, I have 4 pottery orders to pack up and ship.....and a crazy painting project to liven up my taupe kitchen (pics to follow).

  3. Hooray for no major damage and for not losing power for too long! I'm sorry about the damage to the corn and sunflowers...and I sure wish I was one of your lucky neighbors. That corn looks delicious!
