For anyone fortunate enough to be passing through PA, the culinary experience is something you will never forget and want to repeat in your own kitchen.

Autumn is here and it's time for some old fashioned cool weather, leaf changing recipes!

PAPPY'S POTATO SOUP

This is plain old potato soup the way grandma used to make it.

INGREDIENTS

          * 1 tablespoon butter
          * 1 medium onion, finely chopped
          * 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
          * Water
          * 2 to 3 cups milk
          * 2 tablespoons butter
          * Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the onions in the 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until softened. Add potatoes and just enough water to cook, about 1 cup. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, remaining butter, salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook over medium heat until hot; do not boil. With a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes right in the pot to slightly thicken the soup.

CORN FRITTERS

INGREDIENTS

          * 6 ears of corn
          * 1 cup all purpose flour
          * 1 egg
          * Pinch of salt and pepper
          * Enough milk to hold batter together

Scrape the corn kernels off the cobs. Mix flour, egg and salt; add corn and blend well. Add just enough milk to hold the batter together. Drop by large spoonfuls into heated skillet with butter or vegetable oil. Fry on each side until golden brown.

Note: You can substitute frozen corn kernels for fresh, approximately 2 cups. Defrost before using.
