Wayne, I can't tell you how jealous I am. This would be pretty much my ideal
comfort food dinner. Mom and I made chicken & noodles last Wednesday when I
was up there too ;-) Here it's only August and already I'm out of my Aunt
Maggie's corn...but I did get some at the market today that I'll make
tomorrow. Maybe I'll have the leftover chicken & noodles too :-)
