Scalloped corn

[Hey Jude]

Here's one of our favourite comfort foods for cold wintry days:

Scalloped Corn
Mix the following ingredients all together and bake in a 2 quart casserole for 45 min at 375°
(until knife inserted in center comes out clean)

1 egg
I box Jiffy cornbread mix
8 oz carton sour cream--I use fat free

State of emergency declared by the state. Citizens with no immediate "need" to be on the roads are ordered to stay home. Many if not most stores and businesses are closed.

The snow is deep (28.5" in Philly and the second largest ever) and the temps tonight are going down into the single digits. I dug my car out when the snow stopped this afternoon, but those who did not, will have to chip their car out of the ice because it is all freezing solid tonight. The early snow was wet and the roads are all ice after the plows are done. Southwest Airlines just canceled all flights in or out of Philly until Monday afternoon.

It's a mess.

It's a mess.

One of the reasons I migrated to Australia nearly 40 years ago (from Switzerland) was because I got sick and and tired of having to shovel a path to the road in the morning to be able to go to work only to find I had to shovel a path to the house in the evening again. I loved snow as a kid, did lots of skiing and ice skating, but I certainly prefer a heatwave over a snow storm. When we have heat waves, I don't have to shovel the heat away.

Does it not snow at all in Australia ?? Or just not in the North where you are ??

I agree, loved the stuff as a child. I was overcome with joy every time it started snowing back then. Now, I simply sigh with resignation and get out the shovels and salt and wait for it to stop.

No matter how old I become, I shall always be overcome with anxious anticipation with the arrival of the first true snow storm of the Season; however unless you plan on building that snow fort, sledding, making snow angels or having your winter picnic, then it is for children The Eastern Seaboard has been inundated with the white stuff and after being glued to TWC for 3 days, enuf is enuf!~ Watch your back Doc Salt isn't only for walkways, it does wonders for soaking aching musculature

Yepp I took those photographs so no copyright laws were infringed upon hehe. The park is about 4 miles from here so it's where we go walking daily--especially after the Summer crowds have vacated the area. Deer roam in herds and there are great blue herons/white egrets out there most of the year. If you are looking for serenity, this is where you find it~!~!

Hey Jude

What a fantastic setting for a walk, I hope you have a dog to enjoy it with you. Mr. Smith gets me up at any time between 4am and 5am for a 'wee walk' and when it has just snowed it is great putting down the first foot steps. We have foxes not deer, herons and bittens and a badger or 2 (not John the lounge pedant I hasten to add).

There is no dog to share the walk with; but I have my soul mate We have red foxes here and bitterns (no badgers tho they are indigenous to Wisconsin) and black/grey squirrels, titmice, cardinals, blue jays, nuthatches, juncos, brown creepers, downy woodpeckers, Northern flickers, red-tailed hawks, and just 2 weeks ago a saw whet owl perched on my front lampost for about 8 hours until s/he flew off into the darkness of night.

WOOHOOOO~!~! I'm so glad!~~!~! Thanks for sharing~! I wondered if anyone would actually try it. I know I grew up with scalloped corn being made with tons of saltines and it was soooo dry and needed alot of glasses of milk to wash it down. This is a smooth concoction which really melds the flavours in your mouth and is easy on the palate Even my MIL "liked" it and she is one who isn't easy to please--whether MIL or not

[Cellmate]

ooh, yeah, they will be on the regular menu, now!!

Any idea on how they came to be called "scalloped?" I consulted some dictionaries and found (closest) "cut in thin slices and cooked in
sauce, usually with cheese-scalloped potatoes"

I can't quite get there with corn.

"scalloped" is a derivation of escalloped:

1. v.tr.
2. To edge (cloth, for example) with a series of curved projections.
3. To bake in a casserole with milk or a sauce and often with bread crumbs: scalloped potatoes.
4. To cut (meat) into thin boneless slices.

Hi, Samantha,

Yep, I saw all those defs., but Cornbread??? Perhaps I'm just slow today, I don't get it.

Cellmate

[Samantha]

I guess I'm going to have to go back and re-read Jude's recipe more carefully. I pictured something much creamier than cornbread as the final product.

[Cellmate]

Heck, don't just read it, make it! It really is good!

yeah, but they said that about The Hindenberg.
