Ginger Chile Corn


I found this recipe in Readers Digest and it has a great blend of sweet and spicy. Try it before the corn is gone until next year.
3 T canola oil
3 c fresh corn cut off the cob
2 ½ T minced fresh ginger (I grated mine)
2 T mince jalapeno chile seeded and minced
4 cloves of garlic minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat skillet over high heat until smoking. Add oil and heat briefly. Toss in corn spreading evenly, do not crowd it. Let sit for 1 minute to allow it to severely char and pop. Stir in ginger and chile, again allowing corn to char with very little stirring about 1 minute. The corn is done when one-fourth to a third of the kernels are flecked with brown. Stir in garlic and remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Mount of the Holy Cross

For years people have enjoyed the awe of Mount of the Holy Cross which is a 14,000 foot mountain in the Sawatch Range of Colorado. It is named for the distinctive snow-filled cross at the top of the mountain and was proclaimed a national monument by Herbert Hoover in 1929. Painters have painted it; photographers have photographed it and hikers have hiked it, because of its special beauty. When my children were young and visiting the area, we would take the gondola up the mountain to the observation deck at Eagle’s Nest for the perfect view of the majestic Mount of the Holy Cross.  So when my grandchildren were visiting this summer, it seemed natural to take them to the same spot for old times’ sake.  The mountain had not changed and the view was still inspiring, but something was terribly wrong. The name on the sign at Eagle’s Nest had been changed. It was no longer labeled Mount of the Holy Cross, but instead has been replaced with the designation Cross of Snow. Why would that be do

My Latest Award!

This is my niece Allison Bullock who wins triathlons! I won an award today, but before you go getting all excited for me or want to see how you can win one too, you might want to read more. This honor might not be one you want to receive, because you see it is not an accolade that I really want either.  I went for my annual mammogram this morning and while there the doctor found some suspicious areas and wanted to have an ultrasound performed. While laying on the sterile bed, with my pretty pink robe opened and covered with goo used for the transducer, the hand-held device that sends out the waves which produce the picture, the technician declared that I had won the prize for the most cysts she had ever seen in a patient. How do you like that one! I guess the good part is that cysts are not usually dangerous, but still…. I have received other awards in my life that are much more prestigious than the one today, but there is a future award that I hope to obtain that will be more
