My west coast brother informed me that today is 'National Bacon Lovers Day,' 'National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day,' 'National Hawaiian Pizza Day' and "National Lemonade Day.'
I think that all sounds absolutely delicious but we didn't eat any of it. Instead we had corn on the cob from our favorite Amish market. It was as delicious as anything listed above.
We have learned a new way to cook (and not over cook) the corn from a lady who works at the market. It has been working really well for us so I have decided to share her recipe.
Bring a large pan of water to a full rolling boil while shucking the ears of corn.
Put the corn in the water and cook it until the water returns to a full rolling boil. Then turn off the heat, lift the ears out of the water with some good long-handled tongs and serve.
Apply lots of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy. There is no polite, elegant way to eat corn on the cob so don't watch each other. Just focus on your own plate.
Don't forget to floss your teeth before you go to bed.
I added that last line because that's what I'm going to do right now. Good night everyone.
