Mar. 30, 1994 Cottage has different look in early spring __meal at the cottage seems | _ to take on a life of its own. dB, At home, we may sit down to chicken, a few potatoes, salad, and some fruit. It‘s not sitting tUown with a can of beans, to be sure, but it‘s not exactly dining at La Scala either. But sit down to the same food at the cottage and it‘s a culinary delight. The aroma of the chicken on the hibachi precariously propped up in its familiar place filters through the open windows. Pure heaven. You‘d think it was a gourmet feast; the way we all perk up at the smell of some sorry chicken out there roastâ€" ing on some coals. The hibachi, as always, takes hours to get going. But so what? We have nothing but time for a change; nothing to do but putter about without the usual distracâ€" tions and think about food. The salad is thrown together in the vibrant green plastic bowl that‘s cracked down the middle. A raft of white boxes line up on the kitchen counter, all with baked goods from Culbert‘s bakery. But it is the corn that is an absoâ€" lute joy. We buy corn at the cottage the same way other people buy mutual funds. Corn is a serious business at the cottage. We scan the neighboring farms for the one with the best crop that year, and we switch loyalties withâ€" out a thought if the corn doesn‘t measure up. The corn is sized up, selected with care, and then placed tenderly in its paper bag. We almost always invariably claim that this year‘s crop looks better than last year‘s, making it as much a part of the ritual as the husking of i# The kids undertake their jobs of husking with equal seriousness. They chat on the steps outside the kitchen door with the kids from the neighboring cottage; the same kids whose parents sat out there and chatted with us. They debate the pros and cons of which inner tube works best with which wave and decide who gets to play inside the fort the next day. Through the screen door, we watch as they sit there in the sun that is still remarkably hot even as it approaches 6:30 p.m. They husk ind chat; the bag of corn is almost ready to cook. Corn on the cob is one of those of the cottage that never ‘hanges, like the beds that sink in he middle, and the mice that cratch on the walls in the middle f the night. And just like turkey sandwiches fter a Christmas dinner, corn on he cob has to be eaten in the same itualistic way â€" cooked to a goldâ€" n yellow, slathered with gobs of utter, and munched on ‘til you 1i¢: Rarely, has the corn disappointâ€" d us. In a vain attempt to recapâ€" ire the magic of the moment, we ave tried to buy some corn and ring it home. We look for a good adside stand; the ones where you irow the money into a bowl and ::ke a dozen on trust. But I don‘t know. We sit down ) the same meal at home; the ‘me chicken, salad and corn. And doesn‘t quite have the same feel. "Food always tastes better at the ttage," my mother says, emphatiâ€" illy, time and time again. Maybe, she‘s right. At this time of year, there is a )unty of warming ciders and arty soups. But as I look out ‘er the muddy park where the tw is finally, thankfull se THE OAKVILLE BEAVER PUD ly, starting to melt, I can‘t help but think of a windâ€"swept beach; the quiet of the cottage late at night; and the simple joy of biting into a fresh piece of corn on the cob at dinnertime. I may make it through this winter.
