It seems we have corn shacks at every intersection...we never have to go far in search of corn.
I'm quite happy to pay for my corn these days...as we once grew corn for the fresh market. It involved a lot of corn picking at the crack of dawn...from early August until Thanksgiving. We sold corn for one dollar per dozen back in the day...now we pay seven dollars a dozen. Things have changed in the last two decades!
As for the corn itself...Chilliwack corn is still the best! So good in fact...that one can eat it with or without teeth.
We had a picnic dinner out on the patio at the home of friends last night...and enjoyed rotisserie beef and fresh Chilliwack corn grown on their farm.
We watched the sun set over the corn field at the end of another beautiful sunny day in the valley. It was all good.
I love the shot of your little Miss...Is she ever cute and you could not do a better advertisement for Chilliwack Corn.
ReplyDeleteHot Food! Hot Guests! Hot Sunset!
Looks like you guys are enjoying wonderful September weather too! We are enjoying the mild sunny weather here in MT.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweet corn, great photos.
Yes, what a great end of summer we have been having! Dairymary
ReplyDeleteLittle miss corn eater could be on the billboards for Chilliwack corn. . .she's a cutie.
ReplyDeleteWith or without teeth...how cute is that! "Chilliwack corn" is a new one for me, as it the little corn shacks that you pictured. But, delicious sweet corn is so plentiful around her, and you are right, the taste just can't be beat. That sunset sure did make for a gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I'd love to come for the corn...it is one of my favorite vegetables. When it is sweet, it as good as a piece of cake.
ReplyDeleteI do wish the prices would come down a little. I remember the "ten ears for a dollar" days and now paying a dollar an ear seems indulgent.
Ah love corn. Only thing bad is it gets stuck in your teeth. :-)
ReplyDeleteCorn shacks! Kids eating corn without teeth! Saying "Chilliwack Corn" out loud!
ReplyDelete(And mentally singing: Chilliwack corn, and have no cares, chilliwack corn, and have no cares, chilliwack corn and have no cares..the corn is loved always...
Sung to the tune of Jimmie Crack Corn (and I don't care)
Yum! We enjoyed corn on the cob last night and sorry to say it wasn't Chilliwack...
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of the cutie eating her corn with some front teeth missing!
Corn drive through - that's a change from MacDonalds.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so succulent too.
