Alas they had none so he got a rain check for 20 cobs which we picked up yesterday. While picking out 20 cobs, he sprightly said " I'll help you husk". Me, suppressing the dread in my voice, "what a great idea! We'll do it on the balcony so as not to mess up the kitchen". I should explain that he has one speed - fast. Which means corn gets husked quickly, and the silk and husk goes hither and yon. Hence the balcony. I put a garbage bag inside another bag, got a roasting pan to put the shucked corn in and we went to work. The first cob he shucked, the silk landed on the balcony. I picked it up and because I am a woman, felt the need to comment. Not a wise idea. He did about 2 cobs to my one. I picked up a lot if husk and silk from the balcony floor.. When finished, he carted the roasting pan into the apt. and tracked a bunch of the silk threads in with him. We just had the place cleaned. yesterday. I spent 20 minutes pulling the last of the silk from the husked corn. I love him dearly but I doubt we will be husking corn together any time soon, anywhere.
What’s your point?😀
