EASY MEXICAN CORN (Elotes)

This is amazingly good!  And easy!

Shuck as many ears of corn as you need.  Spread Mayo thinly on the corn, then sprinle with blackened seasoning.  Wrap in heavy duty foil.  Cook on top wrack of grill for one hour (or until corn starts to brown), turning after 1/2 hour.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and eat heartily!

note:  If blackened seasoning is too spicy for you, try bbq seasoning (I like Paul Prudhommes)

Fried Apples

Fried Apples are a long time favorite.  Easy to prepare and extremely versatile.  Great for breakfast along with sausage or oatmeal.  Terrific side dish with any cut of pork.  Serve alone or over ice cream for desert.  Tasty hot or cold.

4 strips thick sliced Bacon
8-10 med Apples, cored & sliced (skin left on)
1/2 cp Brown Sugar
1/3 cp Raisins (optional)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg

In heavy skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until crisp.  Remove from skillet and drain on paper towel.  Reduce heat to med/low and add remaining ingredients to skillet.  Cook about 20 mins, or until apples are soft.
