Welcome to June!
It is time for regular weeding of the garden, sheesh. And the mosquitoes are out. The corn at the grocery stores are excellent and cheap at this time of year. Last week we were buying some and husband M noticed a sign that said 'if you husk the corn in the store, you will be charged double the price at checkout'. He noticed a woman doing just that, she was leaving the husks in the corn bin. He mentioned the sign to her and she thanked him, she had no idea. Then she left the husked corn in the bin and grabbed some other ones. Hmm.
It was good corn. I just microwave a cob for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, I don't even put butter on it, it is delicious either way.

Looks good! Here it is still very expensive, so I'm hoping the prices will drop. Valerie
Ohmygosh! We're halfway there! Hello June indeed.
Two people mentioned corn on the cob in their comments on my blog. Now I'm wanting some. I have to shake my head about some people in grocery stores.
I'm a plain girl as well Christine - cooked same way as you do. Signs in our greengrocers ask people no to break off the stalk from the heads of broccoli. People don't want to pay for what they aren't going to eat. Little do it can be chopped and used with the other vegetables in a soup
I don't know much about corn or husking it or anything like that. I tend to just buy it in a tin. Still I have wanted to try corn on the cob for a while.
I love corn! Happy June!
Around here you buy con by the ear (nit by the pound), so there's no advantage to husking it in the store.
Ack! on the use of a dinger machine but glad you enjoyed. Back when I grew corn (one season), it was delish, right off the stalk.
Heaven.
Your picture of the lilac behind the wooden fence looks wonderful and the corn really inspire me to buy some tomorrow and put them into the microwave. Yummy yummy :)
Beautiful photographs! The corn looks so yummy, now I'm wishing I'd bought some from the market yesterday...
oh Ivy, microwaves are beyond convenient for lazy people!
I think people just don't want to husk at home, too messy. Some stores leave a bin alongside the corn for husking.
You should Mark, it's worth it when available.
interesting about the broccoli heads Cathy. The stem is actually my favourite part.
next time, Lisa!
Thanks Stefanie, and enjoy your corn on the cob!
hope it warms up again Martha!
me too Kay.
It will be over before you know it!
Hope so too Valerie.
I used to work in a produce deparment, I hated corn by the end of it. Too much of it, a lot of work too. And then people would leave the husk everywhere making messes wherever they went. I worked for a store that didn't charge people for creating more work.
Lol, too bad for you Adam!
Lovely lilac and corn! We started off June with very cold rain!
That's interesting about the corn, I have never seen that they charge you more for that. I always just take the corn the way it is because that's faster. :) I love corn a lot!
That corn looks so delicious. I haven't had a cobb in such a long time. I usually use the corn in the can when I make chili.
