Speaking of corn...
In the succotash thread, someone mentioned corn. Seems like sweet corn
is already coming to market in the southern US. It's on sale at Publix,
Food Lion and Piggly Wiggly.
The corn is likely from Florida, although I do need to take another
drive to the nearby fruit and vegetable farms to check out what they
have to offer.
IMHO, it's not yet the best price. It's a tad too early. The lowest is
6 ears for $2.98. In a few weeks it will likely be 10 ears and the
price might drop.
I have to thank lucretia (again) for tipping me off to the fact corn can
be tossed in the freezer in the husks without any par-boiling or
blanching. I did that with the ears of corn I bought last year at a
farm stand. The corn was outstanding when I was ready to cook/eat it.
I like to grill corn. With the husks on. Soak them in water first to
prevent scorching. Mmmm, delicious!
