  1. Had our first local corn-on-the-cob of the year. We're a bit slow getting there, but finally picked some up as we were driving around rural highways with lots of it in the fields.

    It's been a dry summer, but I think getting some picked this morning two days after some rain was probably good timing - as it was very tasty.

    The all-yellow variety was very sweet. The 'Peaches and Cream' variety was fine, but a bit more muted flavour. Glad we got both to try them!

  2. Tried cooking one cob of corn, unhusked, in the microwave. It worked wonderfully! Cooked nicely. Husk came off easily, with silk, as advertised. #CornOnTheCob

  3. Shrinkflation takes some getting used to. A "corn on the cob" 🌽 used to fill the width of the plate, no even hauf noo.The line between that and a cobette is gey thin.

  4. Every now and then I think about the Kitchener grocery store cashier who had to ask me what corn was because she’d never seen it before. Was she trolling me or not? #corn #CornOnTheCob

  5. It's the synchronicity of nature that just as we get into the season for boiling up big batches of #cornOnTheCob, the #weeds in the walkway are raging.

    When the corn is cooked I bring the boiling water out for weed-killing service. Very effective, #environmentallyFriendly, and a nice #reUse of the energy.
