C is for corn on February 3 in Alphabetaphilia
Hi readers and writers,
It's the third day of Alphabetaphilia. I'm hoping interest will pick up and we'll get more comments as we go on. If you come by, you can either do five c-words and a sentence using them just today, or you pick and choose among former letters, or even decide to do as much of the month as you can manage. It's easy and fun, especially if you let yourself write a wild sentence, saying something you wouldn't normally write.
So, today, here's our stimulation photo prompt: corn. In the film "Food, Inc," I saw that corn and soybeans are our biggest crops, and it's hard to find any food without some corn derivative as an ingredient. Of course, corn alcohol is also a car fuel these days. So, although I think of the warm, sweet crunch of the first corn roast of the summer, dipped in butter and salted, you can think of lots of other associations if you want. Actually, there's no need to use corn unless you want to. Just find 5 words staring with C, use them in a sentence, post in comments. There will be a slight delay due to moderation of comments.
cheers,
Laura
