This Rufener’s/Szalay’s rivalry is really getting out of hand…

After the publicity in the Plain Dealer on the 2012 Corn Smackdown we noticed that people are making their opinions known throughout the Northeast Ohio area!

Corn Smackdown 2012

Opened up the Plain Dealer today and found this:

So apparently the budget for the 2012 smackdown is huge? The suspense is terrible; I hope it will last.

BLT

Elyse: What do you want for dinner?
Chris: What veggies do we have?
E: Well, we have green beans, corn, lettuce, tomato, eggplant….
C: Lettuce and tomato? We should make BLTs!

And, that’s how an idea was born. We picked up some delicious bacon and whole grain bread from Heinen’s, cut up the red and yellow tomatoes from our latest Dean’s Greenhouse pick-up, cleaned and dried the lettuce from our box, and cooked the corn that came in our box as well.

As an extra touch, I buttered the bread and then toasted it before making our sandwiches. The sandwich, corn, and slaw from earlier today made a perfect summer dinner!
