tony b Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 FINALLY! The local roadside corn stands are up and running!!! Of course I stopped and picked up an ear for dinner! Was decent, but you could tell it's "early corn." Just didn't have the sweetness that it will have in a couple of weeks! BUT, much better than supermarket stuff that's probably almost a week old! btw - duck sliders in Chinese bao, with glazed carrots in orange and sesame oils with tarragon and scallions. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Reminds me of my corn “dealer” back in Shampoo-Banana Illinois. He preferred payment in small, unmarked bills. Could never figure out why... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn's good too To be honest, I started off with a Gin & Tonic - my "go to" drink when it's this hot! But, I'll make up for it this Saturday, as my homebrew club is pouring in the Quad Cities at a festival run by their homebrew club. Will quaff a few to beat the heat - ha, ha! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Just wrapped in aluminum some corn tonite and placed it on the smoker while searing up a couple of steaks. Well, tooo say, that kinda corn ain't in the far east yet. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 If the corn is a bit sub-par, cheat and put some fresh tarragon in the foil pouch with butter and S&P. It will enhance the sweetness. When the good stuff comes in, I just put it straight on the grill and let it roast in the husks. Easy, peasy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
