Sweet Season

shuck shuck boil and eat

Sweet corn is a bit phallic- ew!

Corn silk clings to mom's shoes.

July 24, 2011 - We (my mama and I) bought the first sweet corn of the season at the downtown farmers' market on Saturday. I couldn't remember the verb for cleaning sweet corn tonight. I knew it wasn't "peel" and then I remembered: SHUCK.

Ah, shucks, I forgot the verb. ; )

My mom was hard at work peeling (shucking) the sweet corn when I brought our her polka music. We enjoyed listening to the "Laughing Polka" by the Wendinger Band while we worked. My mom probably enjoyed it more than I did because she is such a Polka Nut!
