So after a couple of blistering days of traveling up country
through the heartland of BC, better known as the Fraser Canyon and the Caribou
district we ended up at our good friends Ian and Heather’s place in Burns Lake.
Ian on a recent trip down to Chilliwack returned with 150 pound of fresh corn. He asked for a “little help” with preparing it for the freezer. Karen and I being the volunteering type thought sure, how bad can it be to shuck 150 pounds of corn. What we didn’t think to ask was how he was preparing it for the freezer.
In the end we ended up shucking, blanching, ice chilling,
de-kernelling (if that is really a word) and then packaging into freezer bags.
30 bags worth. About 3 hours of hot, steamy work over a hot stove. Lots of fun
with good friends.

For those motorhead friends a little update on Rattle Trap.
Only thing to break so far is the entrance step; Karen did that J.
We got 19 MPG coming up the Caribou. Not bad for a 15 year old motorhome !
We are off to Barkerville later this week then off to Nakusp
for the Horizons Unlimited meeting.
Till next time.
