Yesterday I mentioned on Twitter how pleased I was that Whole Foods has a waste bin next to their corn, so I (or my kids) can shuck the corn there and get silk and husks all over their floor instead of mine. (Corn sells by the ear not by weight, so shucking doesn't affect the price.) Well, apparently I won a $25 gift card for writing the Whole Foods Tweet of the Day! I didn't even know they did that. So let's see, that'll buy 50 ears of fresh native corn....

If you have 50 ears of fresh sweet corn, I'll make some lime butter and be right up....

They have those at all of our supermarkets, but I prefer to bring the corn home & have my kids husk them outside. I still don't get a mess that way. Also, what is "native corn"? They've been advertising that here since June and I'm pretty sure there isn't any corn mature enough for harvesting in Connecticut in June.

Native means local; the corn I bought yesterday was from Northampton, Mass. I normally have the kids shuck the corn outside, but it was pouring yesterday, so I was glad to bring the ears home already cleaned!
