great marinade for beef, chicken, pork and veggies. Not to shabby on lamb either, but I'm taking the Mr.'s word for it.

Yummy Corn Salad

So, it's been awhile, but here's another great recipes. Instant smash hit if you ask me...

Here's what you need:
6 ears of corn, corn sliced off
7 scallions or green onion, chopped
5 pieces of bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/2 cup heavy cream (or a dairy product of your choosin')

In a frying pan, on medium heat, crisp up that bacon. Mmmm...bacon. Take it out of the pan. Try not to eat it all. (but if you do, I won't tell anyone...)Next you want to take those green onions and fry em up in that tasty bacon fat. Add in some salt and pepper to just make it taste yummy! Ok, so now you want to add in the corn. Throw it in the pan for a few minutes, just enough to warm it up, but don't cook it through. Mushy corn = not cool, al dente corn = full of the Awesome.
Ok, so now you want to add in the cream and the cheese, warm it through til the cheese is nice and melty. Add the bacon back in and watch the amazingness happen.
Now if you're like me, you'll eat the whole batch yourself and have to make a second batch to serve your friends.
