Beans & Greens Corn

Slickcraft · 08-13-2011, 07:43 PM

Today's Beans and Greens corn was very good and clearly a new crop, much better than the prior two weeks.

I do wish that they would bring back the Silver Queen as an option. It is much better than the usual fare but only if it just picked. I do have some growing in the garden, looks like another two weeks. Then after the water is boiling, pick and shuck a few ears and into the pot.

I forgot that part in my post. Dad was always "don't leave fresh picked corn in the plastic bags, and don't shuck it until the water is boiling and you're ready to drop it into the pot"

He said the corn would "heat up and start to turn starchy"

Got some yesterday at Hannaford's from Pearl Farm in Belmont. It was very good.....slightly starchy, it was probably picked the day before, but still better than what I've had recently from the area.
