Creamy Corn

Submitted by *Parsley*

"This recipe is from a neighbor. I added onion to it, but you can leave it out. It's a nice way to use all the fresh corn in the summer. I got a little freaked out by all that half and half cream, so I sometimes evaporated milk instead of half and half....or even half of the half and half and the rest 2% milk. But if you want the truly rich taste, you know what to do. ;)"
