Oh. yah... forgot to mention.

Put the water on to boil before venturing into the corn patch. Don't
pick the corn until the water is boiling. Then, pick it, shuck it, and
pop it into the water as quickly as possible. Sweet corn rapidly loses
its sugar after it is picked.

I understand that one guy experimented with cooking the corn while it's
still attached to the stalk. That's carrying it a bit far, but not by
much.

We haven't had room to plant corn in years. This year, we planted a
bunch. I can hardly wait for the stuff to be ready. :-)

Year before last, someone here said they often ate it in the garden with
no cooking so it would be as sweet as it could be. Actually, after
reading that, I did it a lot, had just never thought of it though I've
eaten peas in the garden for years. It has a very unique and extra sweet
flavor that way, and so good.

I have a horrible (?) habit of eating my breakfast in the garden and never
quite get to fixing a real meal. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers are all
good right off the vine . . . and that corn was sooooo good straight off
the stalk, a great way to start the day! The only time I bothered to take
corn in and cook it was when I had company, the rest I ate in the garden
(except what I froze). Saves pan and dish washing too. LOL
