Sweet corn is a drama queen. It has an expiration date written in invisible ink. Treat it like a celebrity guest—use it, then lose it.
Best advice? Buy what you’ll eat in one day. Go back to the market tomorrow. Make it a ritual. The farmer will love you.
And if you mess up and get stale corn? Don’t cry. Make corn chowder. Add bacon. Nobody complains about bacon. Ever.
Now go boil some water. That corn isn’t getting any younger. Time waits for no ear.
