When Hélène - who works for us - arrived this morning, she told me that she thought the corn was ripe. Simon was very excited to hear this, so she took him and his friends out to harvest some for lunch.
Simon automatically carried it back into the house the way everyone carries things around here:
Steamed for 15 minutes, a bit of butter, salt and pepper, and it tasted gooooood!
Marc thinks that we can call it organic, fairtrade corn ... if we can prove that Simon pays his workers a fair wage ... or any wage at all for that matter! (Don't worry, they'll actually be taking home most of the corn!)

Beginning to get a little concerned. Simon has disciples and employs low-paid workers - Never mind "Le Petit Prince", I'd check his room for Machiavelli's "The Prince"...
I am so jealous of freshly picked corn but very well done on ensuring the small boy is collecting for you.
