Looking A Gift Horse In The Mouth


Some lovely guests checking in tonight brought me a whole bag of corn on the cob from Georgia.
That was such a nice thing for them to do.  There's only one problem, it was frozen solid.  Mortal sin!!!!!  Sacrilege!!!!!!!  Those of us from New Jersey know that corn must be eaten the same day as picked.  I remember my uncle, Big Dan, driving all the way from Ventnor to Somers Point to get his farm fresh corn.  We Garden Staters have been so spoiled and we won't settle for second best.

There's another guest who brings us steaks and ground beef from his own steers.  He has a cattle ranch and butchers one steer a year for personal use.  A lot of folks don't know that Florida is cattle country.  A lot of prime beef is raised here and I'm grateful to Keith and Betty for being so generous to us.  We had the T bones a few nights ago & they were awesome.
