Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

of course we leave in 1.5 days so most of it will just travel back to the city with us, but we might make a dent in it, between salad tonight, blueberry pancakes in the morning, and maybe corn tomorrow night.

Dude -- eat the corn tonight! Eat it right now! Never eat corn that was picked yesterday, if you can help it.

Wait, her doctor told you and not her?

The doctor told my father who discussed it with us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mmmm... fresh corn.

My dad would generally plant about 40 acres of corn each season. Most was field corn, but about an acre or two would be sweet corn for us to eat.

Does anyone here call it "sweet corn"?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

THANK YOU.

Now I wish I had fresh corn. I hate grocery store corn, but love farm corn.

Does anyone here call it "sweet corn"?

Yes, but I'm from Indiana. So, mostly only if I'm back home and getting it from a farm stand would I call it that. Probably not so much if I was like, going to the grocery store here, or something.

Raises hand.

Does anyone here call regular milk "sweet milk"?

Sweet corn

Some older varieties are best when cooked within 30 minutes of harvest

Wow. I did not know that.

Punishingly Intricate

Does anyone here call regular milk "sweet milk"?

No! But my tia who was born in Mississippi but spent most of her life in the Rio Grande Valley in TX did. I guess the rest of her family did too but her use of it stuck with me because it was in her cheese sauce recipe (that we now call Cheese Devil and have at almost every family event).

Sweet milk to distinguish from butter or sour milk!
