Had to share my photo of this week's sweet corn from the CSA box. Its not perfect-looking, but who said it should be?! So long as the flavor is there, I have zero complaints. I got a kick out of what the CSA box newsletter had to say about it:

Finally, the sweet corn has come, and it is good. The hail damage has resulted in a fair amount of a unique condition I call “Flintstone Corn.” If you have an ear on Flintstone Corn you will recognize it by its un-uniform layout of kernels. This is a result of poor germination on the corn cob. Normally the kernels arrange themselves in uniform rows; with the spare room that results from not-full germination, the existing kernels grow larger and remind me of the Flintstones for some reason. This corn is just as good as regular corn, although a little less satisfying due to the lower amount of corn on the cob. We cannot see if an ear is afflicted when we pick the corn, but we try to feel the ear for uniformity as we pick and thus try to send you nice corn.

I haven't even eaten this corn yet. I was a tiny bit worried about it becoming over-ripe, so last night I shucked, de-silked and boiled the ears briefly. Cut the kernals off the cob and they are now awaiting my next tasty local food creation!
