Cornbread Supper

From Gilt Taste, a description of Corn Butter -- essence of corn, cooked until thick, and all it can do to make us happy.

After days topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the three hottest days in Lexington history, we decided to have corn, but no cornbread, for this week's Supper. We invited everyone to bring cool dishes, and they did. Lovely. Is anything cooler than cucumbers? It's not just a saying. They are cool, cooling coolest veggies. Purslane Salad! Fruit and Quinoa Salad Slaw, superb. Carrot-Beet Salad. No beating this. Coral!
