As a vegetarian, I'll never be able to use it, but I wonder if the leaves wouldn't make the corn more juicy also.<br /><br />And another thing: in the comment you left on my most recent posting, you mentioned your book. Someone, I've missed that. What is the name of the book? Is it available on Amazon? Please let me know. Peace.

Also worry about the poorer folks whose houses we worked on in August in Lumberton and Nichols, SC who may face flooding for a fourth time in a handful of years. We were there with Brethren Disaster Ministries for a week. All the repairs we did may be washed away.
