    I used to have to swallow vinegar ( used balsamic myself) to assuage the cramps in my ankles and lower legs that unknowingly I was getting from my blood pressure medicine. My dentist told me she had cramps from the same BP meds and switched to one that was the same family and cheap and sure enough, when I talked to my doctor and got the new prescription, it worked for me too. I am glad I haven't had to drink vinegar straight since then. I felt your pain there.

    Re chopping the onion: the reason for making the horizontal cut(s) first is because if you make the vertical cuts first, the onion will "open up" as you make the horizontal cuts, as seen in your video. If you make the horizontal cuts first the whole onion will stay together, and when you make the vertical cuts the downward pressure against the cutting board holds the pieces in place.

Then fold the cutting board to put corn in freezer bags on a bag holder so we have grilled corn all winter. We like it in our chili and soups.

    Awesome looking pork chops and that sauce...well, that should be mandatory. This take on corn fritters looks very promising too as it's actually something I was not interested in until I saw how this was not a bread cake simply with corn. I give kudos to the staff and producers of ATK as I like instructional cooking over travelogue entertainment food shows. I want to learn and ATK never lets me down.

    My mom made corn fritters when we were kids. She would have had them served up, eaten and the kitchen cleaned up by the time he shut the food processor off.

    I just tried the corn fritters - and what a good idea that was! The Maple-Chipotle Mayonnaise picked up some needed life with a squirt of lime juice, but the fritters were brilliant exactly as given. (Well, ok, I added a little minced jalapeno, but I do that to many things I probably shouldn't.) About half way through cooking the second batch of fritters, pieces of corn started to explode every now and then. Could someone tell me it that means I had the pan too hot, or something?
