Ahh, corn on the cob. I know it can be messy to eat and can stick in your teeth, but there's something to be said about eating a good ear of corn. Takes me back to days as a kid, when we would have family reunions on my great aunt and uncle's farm and huddle together for a picnic. Sounds corny, but eating buttery ears together was good times. In my case, corn doesn't have quite the same nostalgic enjoyment for me unless I know it's recently been picked and shucked. If you have the good fortune of passing by a farmer's market or a roadside vendor selling fresh vegetables, choose them over the huge grocery store chains. It's time well spent.
