Fresh corn is perfect for a summer treat (Column ~ 07/10/16)
Summertime is corn time. Fresh, sweet, juicy and bursting with flavor, there's nothing like fresh corn.

(Column ~ 07/10/16)
It's the time of the year when the Tennessee humidity lingers around like warm, sticky honey. You step outside and the air feels thick and sweaty, like a locker room after a football game. You know it's hot when even the atmosphere is sweating. It's okay because the hotter it is, the longer we are allowed to spend by the pool chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool.
