King of Sweet Corn, the Royalty of Rosanears, at FM2
2014-07-12 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo CM Staff photo. Eddie Compton whose reputation for great sweet corn precedes him everywhere he goes, is at the Farmers Market on the Square for the first time this morning with what's left of a truckload of Bodacious Sweet Corn fresh from his Fairplay Farm. Adair Countians are enjoying corn on the cob a long time before Garrison Keillor will be bragging about Lake Woebegone's tiny ears show on the stalk. It's amazingly simple to prepare. Eddie Compton says he boils it for three minutes, but his son keeps telling him that 1 minute is all that's needed "before the sweetness is boiled out of it." Occasionally though, Eddie foregones any cooking. "I eat is raw in the field, sometimes." He had a hard time convincing daughter Betty Sue to try it, he said, but when he insisted, she did, "And she ate a whole ear," it was so good. Which begs the question, "Is it good fresh, in tossed salads?" Some have a preference to for the 59 second boil, a little salt and perhaps pepper, with fresh farm butter or, for pretentious folk, extra virgin olive oil. Others prefer it fresh cut off the cob, and fried in an iron skillet, briefly. FM2 shoppers this morning will get a chance to try, grilled, at Jay's BBQ, $1 a serving.

Wooden Bowls big enough to hold Russell Guy Perkins tomatoes
2014-07-12 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Carles Lloyd and Russell Guy Perkins were hard at this morning, getting read for the opening, a few minutes later, of the Farmers Market on the Square. Carles makes turned wooden bowls, walking sticks and wooden toys, which he has at the market. Russell Guy Perkins is the legendary tomato grower with secret patch grown for himself, his family, and a few favored friends, some of which could pretty nearly fill the large turned bowl in front, with one tomato. In real life, Perkins is a legend at the Taylor County RECC, with, already, the second longest tenure in the cooperative's history - over 51 years - and will like hold the all time tenure record in a few months. FM2 is open 8am-1pmCT, in the Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY, today and each Saturday through October 26, 2014.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Bodacious Sweet Corn
2014-07-12 - EK kitchen - Photo by CM Staff. 59 second Hot Corn on the Cob: Try this at home or in your restaurant or street cart. The high sugar content, low starch, has dramatically cut cooking time for corn on the cob: 59 seconds, more or less depending on taste, in boiling water and fresh from the farm sweet corn is ready to serve. Needs maybe a pinch of sea or seasoned salt, and Adair County butter or Olive Oil, if anything. Almost always draws raves.
