    recipe that calls for cutting the corn OFF the cob. My mistake.
    Here's a replacement recipe. ;)

    Title: Roast Chicken in a Clay Baker
    Categories: Main dish, Chicken, Clay pot, Seandennis
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 4-5 lb. whole chicken
    6 To 8 small potatoes, cut
    In half
    4 To 6 garlic cloves, peeled
    And left whole
    10 Or more baby carrots
    1 Large onion cut into eighths
    8 To 10 mushroom caps
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh lemony
    Thyme
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh sage
    2 To 3 sprigs fresh oregano
    Salt and pepper

    Prep time : 10 minutes Cook time
    : 1 hour 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour 40 minutes

    1. Completely submerge the top and bottom in water and soak for 30
    minutes prior to cooking.

    2. Wash and dry chicken. Allow to come to room temperature (or about
    70 degrees) before placing in oven, about 1.5 hours.

    3. Put veggies and herbs in baker and place chicken on top. Sprinkle
    with salt & pepper.

    4. Place baker in a cold oven and then turn temp. to 450 degrees. Bake
    covered for 1.5 hours or until skin is browned and chicken is done.

    5. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving.

    Notes: Avoid drastic temperature changes with a clay baker. Always
    presoak baker for 30 minutes and always allow to cool before
    cleaning. Never use soap, only warm water and baking soda if
    necessary.

    Based on reader feedback, I have adjusted the cooking temperature to
    450 degrees.

    Title: 4th Street Chocolate Kit Kat Bars
    Categories: Choco1
    Yield: 24 Servings

    CRUST
    8 1/2 oz Milk chocolate chips
    8 1/2 oz Peanut butter; creamy
    5 oz Corn flakes; crushed lightly
    MOUSSE
    12 oz Butter
    12 oz Confectioner's sugar
    2 oz Cocoa powder
    5 oz Semisweet chocolate
    4 Pasteurized egg yolks
    2 c Heavy cream
    GANACHE
    1 oz Sugar
    2 c Heavy cream
    20 oz Semisweet chocolate

    CRUST: Line a 9 x 13" cake pan with parchment paper. Melt milk
    chocolate in a double boiler. Stir peanut butter into melted
    chocolate. Place crushed corn flakes in a bowl and stir
    chocolate/peanut butter mixture over them, mixing well.

    Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan and cool in refrigerator.

    MOUSSE: Melt semisweet chocolate in a double boiler. Cream butter and
    sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle, beating until light and
    fluffy. Add sifted cocoa powder and mix well. Scrape down bowl and
    add chocolate. Continue mixing and add egg yolks, one at a time,
    beating well after each addition. Fold in heavy cream that has been
    beaten to firm peak. Mix well to incorporate, leaving no white
    streaks in the chocolate.

    Spread mousse over crust. Chill about 2 hours, until set. Cut into
    desired size bars (1 x 4-1/2 " cuts will yield about 2 dozen bars)
    with a sharp knife dipped in hot water. Place bars on a cooling rack
    that has been placed over a clean baking sheet. If bars are soft,
    place rack in freezer until ganache is ready. (Bars may be completed
    at this time or coated with ganache)

    GANACHE: Melt chocolate in double boiler. Mix sugar and heavy cream
    in a small saucepan and bring mixture to a slow boil over low heat
    (be careful not to scorch the cream). Pour cream over chocolate and
    stir with a whisk to incorporate, making sure all the chocolate is
    melted. Strain mixture to remove any pieces of unmelted chocolate.
    Let cool for about 1 hour.

    Pour ganache over firm bars to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm
    ganache.

    It never seemed that sloppy to me. I had corn on the cob once on our
    trip; it came as a side to our lobster dinner up in Maine. They subbed
    out Stephen's corn with cole slaw. That was our first lobster meal--a
    lot of work to get those things open! The next day we got lobster rolls
    (hot, with melted butter on a hot dog type roll), much easier to handle
    but the only side was a small bag of potato chips. The trip was nice,
    about 4,700 miles, saw a lot of New England, but good to be back home.

    Seriously though, it just depends on what kind of corn, how it's prepared, et cetera. I especially like to shuck it myself, cut the larger cobs into two, and eat it with salted butter. It's been years since I've had it like that.

    Lobster is delicious but it's too much work for me now becuase of my nerve-damaged hands. Lobster rolls, however, go down quite smoothly. I've never had a genuine New England lobster rolls but the ones I have had tasted pretty good to me.

    I am considering going back to work part-time under Social Security's "Ticket To
    Work" program and if I can scrape up a little extra money to get a few more things on my van fixed, I might go up to Washington DC to visit some memorials and museums. Something I have always wanted to do.

    Title: Baked Lobster Savannah
    Categories: Fish, American
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 oz Butter
    2 c Mushrooms; sliced
    1 c Bell peppers; diced
    1 tb Spanish paprika
    1 1/2 c Sherry
    1 ds Salt; to taste
    1 ds Black pepper; to taste
    4 c Locke-ober cream sauce; see
    1/2 c Pimientos; diced
    4 3-pound whole lobsters; boil
    4 ts Parmesan cheese; grated

    Recipe by: Locke-Ober, Boston, MA Preparation Time: 1:00 NOTE: If you
    are using lobsters smaller than three pounds each, you will need
    enough smaller lobsters to produce a total of about 8 cups of meat
    after boiling and cooling.

    STEP ONE: The Sauce-- Heat butter to melting point in a large
    saucepan, add mushrooms and green pepper. Cook until tender. Add
    paprika and stir in sherimientos and blend well. Bring to a simmer.

    STEP TWO: The Lobster-- This can be done while vegetables are cooking.
    ReCut in a large dice.

    CHEF'S NOTE: Discard intestinal vein and stomach--a hard sac near the
    head--before dicing.

    STEP THREE: Add meat to sauce and simmer slowly for 10 minutes. Divide
    mixture evenly and spoon back into lobster shell. Dust with grated
    parmesan cheese and brown in a 375-degree oven for 15 minutes. Serve.

    I think it is messier if you cover it in butter as most of us in the south/country do. ;) As I have gotten older, I prefer to use a knife to remove it from the cob first to make it less messy.

    Hi Sean,

    It never seemed that sloppy to me. I had corn on the cob once on our
    trip; it came as a side to our lobster dinner up in Maine. They subbed
    out Stephen's corn with cole slaw. That was our first lobster meal--a

    It can be if I don't have my teeth in! XD

    True; I still have all of my teeth except the wisdom ones and a molar
    that was being reabsorbed from the inside out so pulled about 30 years
    ago. No problems with eating corn, either on or off the cob.

    Seriously though, it just depends on what kind of corn, how it's
    prepared, et cetera. I especially like to shuck it myself, cut the
    larger cobs into two, and eat it with salted butter. It's been years since I've had it like that.

    I grew up with corn on the cob (picked after the water went on the stove
    to heat) in the summer, frozen corn the rest of the year. Sadly I've not
    had corn that fresh since getting married, close a few times but more
    often a few hours old. Sometimes frozen corn on the cob before we found
    out about Stephen's allergy but always with butter and salt.

    Lobster is delicious but it's too much work for me now becuase of
    my SD> nerve-damaged hands. Lobster rolls, however, go down quite
    smoothly. SD> I've never had a genuine New England lobster rolls but
    the ones I have SD> had tasted pretty good to me.

    Stephen ended up cracking mine open; my wrists/hands are too weak from
    breaks. We decided that in the future, we'll go for lobster rolls as
    cracking the bugs is just too much work. Did you know there are 2
    different types of rolls? One is more like a lobster salad--served cold,
    mixed with mayo and usually diced celery. The other one is the one
    Cousins Maine Lobster says is the real lobster roll--steamed, picked out
    of the shell and piled into a roll with lots of melted butter. The
    latter is our choice. CML is a food truck franchise that specialise in
    lobster, got their big break on Shark Tank; we've seen them at various
    local events and bought lobster from them from time to time.

    I am considering going back to work part-time under Social Security's "Ticket To
    Work" program and if I can scrape up a little extra money to get a few more things on my van fixed, I might go up to Washington DC to visit
    some memorials and museums. Something I have always wanted to do.

    Sounds good. On this trip we went to both Bar Harbor, ME and
    Williamsburg, VA--both places I visited as a teen with my family. Sadly
    in the over the years since, they've both gone very commercial; neither
    of them are the sleepy little towns I remember. I've not been to DC
    since my senior class trip; I know it has changed but I'm not really
    that interested in a return visit.
