Stopped into a grocery store after the shopping run to pick up a few things that my own store doesn't carry. The first of the good corn was in and if you had a loyalty card, it was 50¢/ear. If not, it was $1.00.
I mentioned to my cashier that this was Pirate Corn. Her response: WTF?
My reply was that if I didn't have my card, it would be a buck-an-ear...
Don't know if it was a genuine smile or just a grimace (rictus?)
And yes, it was delicious - the first good corn of the season with a couple more months to come. California for now with Eastern WA in late July and the Western WA crop on target for knee-high by 4th of July with harvest in September/October.
