Two random recipes for you, my loyal reader(s).

Delicious Fried Corn
Ingredients:

• Four medium or three large ears of corn
• Three strips of bacon
• One white or yellow onion, diced
• Salt and pepper, for taste

Directions:

1. In a heavy-duty skillet or stock pot, fry the strips of bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon to a paper towel, you'll want this later.
2. While this is cooking, slice the kernels off of your corn and set in a bowl.
3. In the bacon grease, saute your onions until translucent and soft, about 8 minutes.
4. Add your corn kernels, and some salt and pepper. If the corn was not particularly juicy (you'll see water in the bowl), add a splash of water, maybe 1/8 of a cup.
5. Cook for 10 minutes, until corn is cooked.
6. Crumble the cooked bacon, and serve on top.

.
5. Continue to cook, turning periodically, for another 8 minutes or so.
   -If the patties are not yet cooked in the middle, tent a piece of aluminum foil over them.
