About Corn! Eatin' Corn!

Man, I love fresh corn on the cob!!  Silver Queen and White Corn is the best, IMO 

I live in a world where corn grows everywhere, but you can't eat most of it.  It's all feed corn and corn to be ground up for ingredients.  Only the irrigated corn is the good stuff to eat, and it's off the rails when it's in season.  Now is the season!!  I have a buddy who raises some white corn, and it's so sweet and buttery you can't stop eating it.  He cans some of it too.  We eat this stuff year round!  We trade him out beef for it (and other stuff).

Tomorrow night we're going to make a big fire pit and cook up some corn, pork sausages, taters, carrots, onions...and even a few (thousand) shrimp...(even though not native).  I think the other boys have some crawdads they brought back from NOLA.  Gonna' roast a suckling pig too (all day).  Should be great...

...but I'm dam sure gonna' love the CORN!!!

Fresh sweet corn is the BOMB!

Living on Long Island (which has a great farming community) was the best for fresh produce... corn being the highlight.

My family used to take trips around to the farm stands and prey on the ears of corn roasted and boiled in buttered water for hours, served up as a snack... 

Great... now I'm hungry....

Ok ok, I haven't harvested any corn yet this year, but it is getting close. I don't go for sweet corn though; I grow hard purple field corn. I like to make my own masa with it.

When I was a kid, my uncle grew a field of sweet corn and a field of cow corn which was behind and adjacent to my Father's property as a kinda side-gig. (Family full of farmers but farms were closed decades ago). It was wonderful to be able to go out back and pick a paper bag full of ears and boil them up.

Fresh sweet corn is awesome with real butter, salt, and pepper. Just keep the toothpicks nearby.
