Amy, sorry I'm lat to this thread, but to answer your question about what to do with the corn... I used to throw away the corn, but now I wash it and freeze it and cook it for a soup kitchen. I started cooking for a soup kitchen once every 4 months on the third Sunday, different churches take each Sunday. Anyway, I buy 10-14 corn in the cob per week, by the time my Sunday rolls around I have 120-140 corn on the cobs to cook up in addition to our chicken, mashed potatoes or rice, and greens. They love it! I just have to remember to unload my freezer periodically and take them to the big freezer at church or there will be no room for my food.

Maybe there is a soup kitchen around you who will take the corn?

Is it wrong that I now want to get corn for supper? Not for me, just so I can't make little corn husk presents. I'm thinking the rabbits might love them too.

My son's girlfriend works at Whole Foods, and she just told me could me all the organic corn husks I want! I don't think she's ever seen anyone so excited about getting "garbage" as I was when she offered.

How exciting! My parents LOVE corn and brought me a bag full of husks this weekend. The boys and I were all excited.

I'd still wash the organic husks though. I wash all my veggies, organic and traditional. I figure the organic are more likely to be fertilized, er, "naturally" so best to wash them too.

babytulip07, I tear off very thin strips of corn husks for Casper to eat, maybe you could try that for Maddie?
