A VERY late night!
DJ and I pulled a very late night canning corn last night! We figured we're already sleep deprived staying up with babies so when some free corn came our way we didn't hesitate to turn it down. Our good friends, the Andrus's, of Andrus Trucking came over with corn last night that had apparently been rejected by Walmart due to a palet tipping over while unloading. It was beautiful corn, can't believe they turned it down because of that but we were happy to be the recipients. DJ got home from Bishopric meetings and visits at about 9:30 and after settling babies down, we got started at around 10:30.....78 ears of corn and 16 quarts of corn later, we finally crawled in to bed at 2 a.m! Yikes!! I wish we would've taken pictures of one another, we were literally zombies, but it is definetly worth it with the price of groceries these days. Our own corn should be on in another week so we'll be at it again soon.

You guys amaze me! Thanks for putting us to shame by your ability to get it all (and much more) done. Congratulations on having it all together! (and congrats on the corn, that's awesome!)
I guess you need to be a fly on my wall so you can see that we don't have it all together, we were just having an " alltogether" moment! We cherish those because they are few and far between!
Isn't it crazy how many ears of corn it takes to get a quart? Did you freeze it or can it?
We froze it because I get sick at the thought of bottled corn. It IS nuts how many ears it takes but each bag we did will probably feed us for 2 dinners. Very worth the time for yummy corn!
I can't believe you sounded so good and upbeat this afternoon when I called you! You must be exhausted! But it is all worth it when you open the freezer and see that yummy young corn ready to eat! Good for you and thank goodness the babies stayed asleep while you finished up. Did one or both of them wake up the minute you laid your head on the pillow?
