A Year for Ears

One bonus of being in British Columbia during summers is the availability of fresh. local produce. Okanagan fruit such as the peaches make summertime eating a pleasure. We still seem to have a copious supply of cherries this year. This seems unusually long.

However, I would have to declare this the summer which will be remembered for its great corn. I don't think we've ever eaten as much corn on the cob as during the past few months. The supply started out from California but the local supply hit early. We have consumed dozens of ears of corn. Of course, the days of a dollar a dozen are long gone. Though the prices, at about US $3.40 for twelve, have remained cheaper than during recent years.
