'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Never eat corn that was picked yesterday, if you can help it.
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"?
ok Jesse, we will eat some of the corn tonight, some will go to the city for Friday night.
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.
Does anyone here call it "sweet corn"?
Raises hand.
Does anyone here call regular milk "sweet milk"?
Some older varieties are best when cooked within 30 minutes of harvest
Wow. I did not know that.
Does anyone here call regular milk "sweet milk"?
That's crazy-talk.
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!
I call it sweet corn, as does everyone in upstate NY, I think. I assume to distinguish it from cow corn, with the darker tassles.
"Sweet corn" must be used to distinguish it from "field corn." Of course, now there's "supersweet corn," which is what I'm shopping for tomorrow, specifically, the Mirai variety, which is supposedly so good that you can eat it raw. (They've been raving about it on WGN radio for a few years now, so I figure I'll check it out and see how good it is.)
Fall raspberries are now available, as are the last of the peaches, so I'm going to pick some of those up at the market out in Harvard as well. They only have one apple available right now, though they are picking two others tomorrow but they won't be available until Friday. It's an hour-plus drive there, so I'm not going to head back there until more apples are available, most likely in October.
