Child of the Corn

Do you remember the first time you had sweet corn raw? I was at the Evanston farmer's market (one summer ago? two?) and one vendor was just sure that if you tried his corn raw you'd have to get some. I'd had cooked corn on the cob before, but more often corn from the can, so I was a bit hesitant...

I'll probably never forget that taste.



We've been cutting a lot of corn for freezing this past week on the farm. And we made these delicious corn-cilantro panackes. Pancakes, patties, I don't know what to call them. But they are good.


Corn's ready when the silk turns brown.



If you think you're safe because you're off in a non-midwestern city--think again!
