Summer’s Sweet Corn

Sweet corn for sale at the Pike Place Market

What is summer without sweet corn on the cob?

“There was nothing like a bucket of uncooked sweet corn to really turn around your day.  The yellowness, the fertile symbolism, the promise of melted butter: it was enough to change a boy’s life.”
     — Reif Larsen, The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet
