My mother-in-law was sweet enough to send me some Cope's Toasted Dried Sweet Corn and it arrived in the mail today! I was down to just one bag and that won't get me through both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have THE best recipe for this stuff, and as much as I'd like to share it, it's a family secret. There are only a few of us Hershocks left who know Nanny's tricks to making it delicious. I just love the way the house smells on Thanksgiving and Christmas days...and leftovers are just as good if not better! It will be my job to pass the family recipe down to Kendall (and Riley's future bride) someday so the tradition can carry on.
If you can't be "home" for the holidays, at least you can have a piece of "home" wherever you are! (NOTE - I am cautious talking about "home" in front of the kids because I want them to feel like wherever we are currently parking our cars is our home...Unfortunately for Kendall, Lancaster will never be her home since she was born in Florida and has only been there 3 times)
Thanks to Nancy for making collecting the mail today an exciting experience! Whoo Hoo! Bring on Turkey Day! (I know, I'm a simple girl...doesn't take much to make me happy!)
