As promised, the 25 ears of corn made 8 pints of corn. Why, you ask, do you see only seven? We ate one for dinner. Y-U-M!! It's like anything else that's fresh--it just tastes so much better! No chemicals, no preservatives. Even the salt has additives in it!
It's like the fresh eggs we get each morning. After eating only fresh eggs for more than 4 years now, we can't stomach eggs in the restaurant.
Our favorite breakfast place in Panama City Beach uses dozens of eggs per day. You would think at that rate they would be fresh. But, to us, they taste rotted! By the time eggs get to the grocery store, they are several weeks old. Or, sometimes, even months old.
If you have always eaten store-bought eggs you won't know the difference. But even restaurants buy their eggs from a distributor so they aren't much better than those sold in a store. We just can't enjoy eating breakfast out anymore. Unless of course we get something wonderful like Belgian Waffles.
Now if only I could teach the hens to lay those! Hmmmmm.
