Jul 08, 03 02:33 pm — Now that we are tucking into the summer months, there is more great fresh produce available at your local farmer's markets. In order to achieve my self-appointed duties here in Madville, I am posting some good, but easy recipes for y'all.

here's a delicious recipe for corn salad. you barely cook the corn, so it's still really fresh and crunchy and sweet. it's really simple, too. i made it on the 4th for a BBQ at a friend's house and every last bit was eaten.
Fresh Corn Salad
yummm.... sounds delicious ::grin::
adding this journal to favorites, I have got to try some of these recipes.
Looks great! I'll be needing some good corn recipes for the Market, and this looks easy and tasty. it's good to get feedback if a recipe works well or not.
Thanks!
w00t? nothing with velveeta CHEESE?
Oh, yeah, I got that right here......IN MY FRIGGIN' PANTS PAL!!!!!!!
See look! A bunch of velveeta slices:
Need a hard cheese reccomendation. The wife is not allowed soft cheeses for a long while.
Ah, yes, them who be preggers are supposed to stay off the soft and unpastuerized cheese. If you can get it, a good borenkass (aged gouda), Vella Dry Jack, English cheddar (Keen's or Montgomery), Gruyere or Emmental for a swiss option, or even a simple parmesan (NOT the crappy canned stuff) or Grana Padano. Sheeps milk Manchego or Zamorano is great, but I think most of them are unpasteurized. Hell, even a good Tillamook cheddar, if available....
You might be able to find Cotija there in Mexico, it is called the "Mexican Parmesan".
Just be careful to read the ingredients. Some doctors say absolutely NO unpastuerized, while others say of it is a hard, aged cheese, it is no problem. Might want to ask yours to be sure....
She has been gagging on garlic recently. One of the greatest tradegies of my life. For a while vinegor was doing it too. Thankfully that is over.
