Local early fall bounty

1. Steamed white corn
2. Tomatoes with EVOO, fig balsamic and herbed feta
3. Brussels sprouts with bacon, roasted at 500°, then 400° when the smoke alarm went off (Result: slightly soggy; perhaps it would have been better to cook the bacon and sprouts separately. Also, to use oil with a higher smoke point.)
