Dashed dreams

A couple weeks ago, a friend brought over a huge box of fresh picked corn from a farmer friend of his. The kids spent hours shucking the corn- 76 cobs in all. And they didn't even complain. I was in sweet corn heaven. Sweet corn is one of my favorite foods. Then Jared and I vacuum sealed it all and put it in the freezer. Problem was, I didn't think to cook it up and TRY it first. It's TERRIBLE!!!! No wonder his friend gave it away. It's not just tasteless, which would be a bummer- it's actually bitter. I don't think I've ever had such bad corn. And we've got a lot of it. So now I have to decide if I'm going to try and use the corn in casseroles and hopefully hide it's bad taste - or if it's pig fodder. Bummer!!!!
