actually, if you keep the corn in the husks and retain in the bag you
purchased it in (or similiar bag), the moisture created in the 'fridge
(particulary the crisper) will create a moist environment (as
everything in nature basically consists of water) which stops the corn
from drying out - it should keep it fresh for at least four or five
days. by the way does anyone have a recipe for Eccles cakes?
