Creamed Corn
It’s that time of year again…. CORN SEASON! They are on sale at the grocery store this week for 19 cents each. For me, that means 8 ears of corn for less than $2! And are they ever good right now.

Meyer lemons were on sale at the grocery store last week. I didn’t really have anything in mind for them, but they were so beautifully brilliant and smelled so good that I just had to buy them.
