Um, why would you want frozen corn when this time of year fresh picked
local corn is practically at give away prices... the market in town
has four ears for $1... the farm stands have similar prices as they
want to sell it quickly.

Now, Cheri, seeing that it *is* The Lord's Day, do you think that retort was called for...??? If you aren't nice, Sheldon might not send you any more of those French Tickle[e]rs that you profess to like so much...

Cheri being a prima donna she'd love Chowards delicate violet scented
mints with fluttering corn silks. hehe These aphrodisiacal gems are
guaranteed to make Cheri desperately uncontrollably horny:

He's questioning why she wanted to buy frozen corn. Who cares? Point
is, in the usual spot for the frozen corn was frozen riced cauliflower.
Then cauliflower crust pizza and organic burritos. So, the new products
are geared towards low carbers and those shoppers into organic frozen stuff.

As if "why" she wanted to buy frozen corn is any of his damned business.

It's everyone's business because she posted here. DUH!
And most markets cut way back on carrying frozen corn when fresh corn
is in seasson.
If she wanted to keep her horny corny desire private she shouldn't
have posted here. DUH DUH DUH

I checked today, the market in town had no frozen corn but had huge
crates of fresh corn. I didn't buy any because I have corn growing in
the garden and the 24 plants are producing, we already ate four,
excellent, even two cats love corn.

Doesn't have to be roundup. Even chemical fertilizers can keep it from
being organic. You have to use manure instead, if you want to sell it at
exorbitant prices.

Also, if you spray corn with roundup, there won't be any corn produced
.... the plant dies.

Cobs are used in place of toilet tissue in the outhouse.
