It is the beginning of July and a long awaited product will make its appearance at the market:  fresh sweet corn.  The Jirak Family will be at the market this Saturday with corn and other produce. The first Saturday of the month also brings the second winner of the Bundle Give Away.  Lyn will give away the bundle around 10 a.m.  You can begin registering for the August Bundle today at Lyn’s stand. We will have two features at the Market.  The Atchison Art Association will return with a fund raiser of biscuits and gravy and a fun project for children.  We will also welcome Terry Heineken, a musician with ties to the Atchison Library. Enjoy your day at the market. Note:  There will be no e-newsletter for July 10, 13, and 17.  It will be back for the July 20

Corn with Bacon and Mushrooms

Serves: 6, Total Time: 25 min Ingredients

• 2 slice(s) bacon

• 1/2 cup(s) thinly sliced shallots

• 3 cup(s) sliced mixed mushrooms, such as oyster, shiitake, and/or baby bella

• 4 ear(s) corn kernels cut from cob (see Tips & Techniques)

• 1/4 cup(s) water

• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

• 1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and chop.

2. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to release their juices, about 3 minutes more. Add corn kernels and water and cook until the corn is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in chopped bacon and season with salt and pepper.
