Farmer's Market

We checked out Wauconda's weekly Farmer's Market this afternoon. Twin Gardens (which we've heard of on WGN Radio) was advertising "sweet corn so sweet you can eat it raw." What??? That's preposterous, I thought! So the guy gives us an ear free to try, which Ellen is doing in this photo...



... as she stands alongside a gentleman who bought 6 dozen ears of this corn last week and is back for more. The guy was right -- we did eat the entire ear raw, and bought a half dozen to eat at home (and they'll no doubt be even better steamed and with butter.)

The we went to see the Pixar film "Wall-E" which is extremely well done and worth seeing, especially if you have kids and want a good family flick.
