Greg and I are off Atkins for the weekend. Each holiday we go off.
Today we make calzones.
Yesterday we had the best sweet corn. I bought it at a local farmer's stand. WOW! It was excellent. The ears must have been at least 10 inches long, fully developed and $3.50 per dozen.
Oh yum. The best corn I have ever had was when my grandparents lived between Salem and Odin Illinois. We would buy it from the farmer’s stand just down the highway, take it home immediately and plop it into the boiling water. It was great!
Colorado has some superb sweet corn grown on the west slope of the mountains, near the town of Olathe, south of Grand Junction. They ship much of it over to Denver and the flavor is so delicious that there are times I don't even butter it. The kernels gently pop as you bite it and they are so tender you hardly detect the skins on the kernels as you chew it. YUM!
