  1. This is something I eat frequently in the summer (we are in a corn growing area in the United States)but I have never had it with mint. We have mint in our garden – when it comes up later in the spring I will try adding some. Thanks for the suggestion!

  2. I am in love with your recipes. These look so delicious yet so simple to cook. I am definitely going to try this one out soon.
