You realize we're now going to be spending the rest of the day wiping drool off our chins because we're obsessing about this, right?
I'll be careful when I go out in public.

Yum!! We grow it every year and man alive that stuff tastes good, off the plant, in the oven wrapped in tinfoil with obscene amounts of butter and black pepper in seconds. 
I knew we could count on you.

I'm amazed that you have a long enough season, mustang, to grow your own. How many days until maturity do you figure for the varieties you grow?
This was SO helpful, Mz. Sun!! Thank you, can't wait to try it!!
Thank you! After having to pick corn silk out of my teeth last night even though I thought I'd gotten it all before it went on my plate, I'll definitely be giving this a try tonight!
It takes forever. We've some plants coming up now in the greenhouse. Will plant them out in a few weeks (probably towards end of June) then will be picking them late August. Don't get me wrong, they're not massive by any stretch, and we only get about 3 cobs per plant (we normally do 8) and towards end of summer a few of them don't ripen. It's a lot of effort for not huge amounts but our boy loves them and it's worth it

Absolutely worth it. Not only the end result, but the fun of getting there. I remember one year I tried to grow broccoli and was hit by those nasty worms. I got exactly one head, but man oh man was it good.
Hope you have a bumper crop this year, mustang!

I thought it was pretty cool. Let me know how it works.....I ate all my corn before finding the video

Had to coax it a little to get it out and still had a few strands of silk to remove but much better than usual so will try it again--only had one ear so there's still some left.
Ha!Want me to lend you an ear?
Just let it hang like I do.That's where my partner got them and at that price, too, so must be part of the same shipment. You realize we're now going to be spending the rest of the day wiping drool off our chins because we're obsessing about this, right?

I thought you were going to have two this time????
Thought about it but made the mistake of having salmon and rice pilaf, too, so no room left for another one last night.
Fresh Fl sweet corn, white, yellow and bicolor 12 ears for $3. Farmers market might have a better deal.
Gotta control the starch, eh? Me too. In fact I get no starch, if I follow my program to the letter.Thought about it but made the mistake of having salmon and rice pilaf, too, so no room left for another one last night.
