It used to be that the corn in the grocery stores here was fairly
dismal, even in the heart of the season.  There was a produce store that
did a good job of getting it fresh and keeping it fresh -- albeit not
that four hour standard you mention.

Unfortunately, that produce store closed up a couple years ago.  The
good news is that a few of the grocery stores are learning how to keep
it sort of fresh.  You go to pick it up to test, and it is still cold.
Cook it that night, and it is decent.  Some stores have not learned the
need to keep it cold and wet.  They put corn in big bins at the front of
the store, or even worse, just outside the store in the sunlight.  That
stuff dies pretty quickly.

      2 tb Vegetable oil
      2 tb Shelled peanuts
      1 lg Cucumber, peeled
      1    Fresh small red chile (you
           -can omit the chile; I did
           -when I made this for you)
      1    Shallot, finely chopped (or
           -use green onion)
      2 ts Finely chopped lime peel
  1 1/2 tb Lime juice
      2 ts Fish sauce (or just use a
           -little salt)
      1 ts Brown sugar
      1 cn Tiny salad shrimp
 
  Brown peanuts at high heat in a wok with the oil (or brown in
  microwave, one minute at a time). Chop them up. Peel cucumber and
  remove seeds. Grate one half of the cucumber with a cheese grater,
  and slice the other half in very thin slices (or grate the whole
  thing, or slice the whole thing, depending on which you like best)
  
  Mix everything together and serve. Be sure to put the peanuts on just
  before you serve it or they will get soggy.
