This is one of two small fields of corn that have appeared in vacant parcels out among the grape vines the past two years. This year, probably because of all the rain we've had, the corn is very high. There are little cobs, too, but they're very little, probably because they need even more water to grow to a normal size. Neither of these cornfields is irrigated. I doubt that this is sweet corn. It's more likely feed corn like most of the corn grown in France.
We're expecting the delivery and installation of a new cooking stove today. We're switching over from gas burners to induction on the cook-top. We don't have piped in gas where we live, so we have to buy bottled gas that we keep under the sink in the kitchen. Not having to deal with that any more will be nice, and we'll regain some storage space. If all goes as expected, I'll post a photo soon.
We bought an induction cooktop several years ago and we love it (yes, even I love it — when I’m monitoring something for SG). Many of our friends here buy the bottled gas and it seems to be an inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteI’m all in favor of making life easier and simpler. I said that yesterday when I was planting a new shrub and the temperature was 34C with a ‘feels like’ temperature of 41C. A condo is looking better every day!
ReplyDeleteOur gas cooktop is dying by inches and we plan to replace it with induction in the next few months. Glad to hear that it works well for SG!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's exciting news about the new cuisinière! Can't wait to see photos!
ReplyDeletemitch, I didn't mind the gas, or getting the bottles. One of our local grocery stores has an automated 24 hour gas depot where you deposit the empty bottle and get a new one and pay with your debit card.
ReplyDeletebettyann, wow, that's hot!
chris, we'll be using it for the first time today. Ken's had an induction hotplate for a while, so he's familiar with how it works.
judy, stay tuned!
Salute!
