Day 156 - Out of Season

156/365 (June 5, 2010) – I grew up not eating corn until August. Because that’s when the local growers in the Okanagan had it available. I spent so much time on my grandparent’s farm & orchards that I just knew what was available when. And that’s when I still expect it. And if it’s available outside of that season, I traditionally didn’t buy it, simply because it is never as good as when the local crops are ready.

So I didn’t expect much from this corn. But I was pleasantly surprised, it was very, very good.

I still try to buy foods that are in season locally, it supports the local growers, and I know the foods haven’t been transported huge distances, increasing their ecological cost.

But sometimes I break down.

It sure looks good! Glad it tasted good. Corn this time of year can be so disappointing.
