I'm not sure what I was thinking but today I grilled 13 ears of sweet yummy local corn to use some of it in the tacos ( I add beans and roasted corn to stretch it further and add flavor). I also made HUGE crab stuff mushrooms, crab cakes, fresh mushrooms and dip for DH and tomorrow I will take the cobs and make a corn stock that will later be turned into corn chowder :P

Is this an appetizer, dessert, or outrageous “dinner”?
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 6-8
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1 TB + 2 TB sugar
1 Box Graham Crackers
1/3 cup and 2/3 cup heavy cream, separated
20 + 20 marshmallows, separated
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup cream cheese
12 mint leaves (1/3 cup)
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 TB sugar, and set aside. To make the mint “guacamole”, process the cream cheese, 2 TB sugar, mint leaves, and peppermint extract to create a creamy green consistency.
Arrange alternating layers of graham crackers and 20 of the whole marshmallows on a large platter (or 2-3 plates).
Heat 1/3 cup of the heavy cream in the top of a double boiler with 1 inch of boiling water on the bottom. Add the marshmallows and stir for 4-5 minutes while the marshmallows melt into a thick sauce. Stir in the vanilla, cover, and turn off the heat.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2/3 cup heavy cream over medium heat until almost simmering (2-3 minutes). Turn off heat, add the chocolate chips, let them sit for a minute, and stir to create a creamy sauce. Heat a little more if necessary to melt the chocolate.
Using a large spoon or small ladle, drizzle the chips with the chocolate sauce, and then with the marshmallow sauce. Spoon the fruit salsa over the top, and finish with a dollop of guacamole.
Serve, and step away to avoid the stampede.
