Notes on the box.
Summer treats time! Sweet Corn! Fresh picked. The fresher you eat it, the sweeter it will be. As it sits, the sugars turn to starch. Store sweet corn in the fridge in the husk until you are ready to eat it. When you are ready to eat it, pull off husks and silk and place into boiling water until corn is warmed and the color is brighter (just a few minutes is all you need). Butter and a little salt and enjoy! We will be having 3 more weeks in a row of sweet corn, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy all of your favorite corn recipes.
Tomatoes! Store tomatoes OUT of the fridge if you plan on eating them raw. Store them stem side down for even ripening. If you plan on eating them cooked, it’s okay to put them in the fridge. The cold changes the texture, but so does cooking them! Tomatoes will be coming again next week.
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
Two wedges of Deneb! One is young, just 3 months and was made in May. It will make a sublime grilled cheese with a slice of tomato. The other has a year more of aging than the other. Enjoy!
