Don't tell them about parched corn. Ask if you can have the ears too old to roast for sweet corn. Gene Logsdon Kim: Find someone who grows more sweetcorn than they can eat.

Will try your recipe. We are running out of this year's corn for parching. We are going to try open pollinated field corn. See if it is as good as sweet corn. It might not be tender enough. My dentist frowns on people who like to chew on hard crunchies. Gene Logsdon Jan: I don't peek. I make Carol peek. Gene Logsdon Anita: Just saw your comment. Will try your recipe.

I wish I would have known about it when I had a larger suburban lot--I just can't devote enough space in my current urban plot to growing corn.

I had corn everywhere! I tried it in a cast iron skillet with a lid, but I kept trying to peek a look to be sure I wasn't burning anything and everytime I lifted the lid, corn popped everywhere! I think a glass lid would have helped. I do have a popcorn popper with the crank on it ... maybe I'll try that. We can barely grow enough sweet corn to eat fresh and freeze, let alone dry it on the stalk! Lucky you. Try roasting pumpkin and sunflower seed in a little oil and tamari or soy sauce. You know all that salt and grease is the only thing that makes live worth eating! I tried the parched corn one time. I had corn everywhere!

If you ever get tired of eating it plain, and have a lazy afternoon, cook some up with pork, garlic, onion, and chili. Yum.
