That's what I used to say when I hung the clothes out. It's hard when
one is working full-time.

The Best Iowa Scalloped Corn

1 can of cream-style corn, not drained
1 can of regular kernel corn, drained (don't save the liquid)
1/2 sm. onion, finely diced
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten well
2 C. fine cracker crumbs (just plain saltine crackers)
2 C. milk
2 T. parsley flakes
1 T. minced garlic

Topping:

3 T. butter, melted
1/2 C. fine cracker crumbs

Heat the corn, milk, onion and seasonings in a saucepan on the stove
top until hot (not boiling), stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Quickly stir in the 2 C. milk, mix, and then stir in the cracker
crumbs.

Pour into a 2-quart greased casserole dish and sprinkle the buttered
1/2 C. cracker crumbs on top.

Bake at 350 deg. F. for 30 minutes. Top should be slightly puffed and
lightly browned.

Serve immediately. (Leftovers are really good, too, and it can be
frozen.)

I think the corn muffin mix recipes are an abomination, and as you can
see, there's no butter in mine, nor sour cream (why ruin good Iowa
corn?).

I dunno - just don't like the taste of cream.

What you did - flavored with vanilla, or sprinkled with ginger or
cinnamon, or flavored with brandy or something else.

Okey dokey, I'll take it off your hands.
