It's that time of year, the price of corn on the cob is comming down and the quality is going up. Seems like the perfect time to share my quick and easy method of cooking it. One word, folks. Microwave. Beyond a doubt the fastest, easiest way to do it, with moist, extra-flavorful corn every time. And made even easier because you DON'T HUSK IT FIRST. Yup, trust me, just take off the extra, loose husks, DON"T worry about that blasted silk, just nuke the things in their husks for roughly 10-14 minutes for 6 ears, or until they're very hot and smelling 'corny'. A single ear takes 5 minutes. Since they steam in the husk, you don't lose flavor or nutrition like you do with boiling, and you can do several at once and simply let them cool and store them in the fridge as is.....no need for a container! When you want to re-heat, simply zap 'em again for a minute or two and then husk. And the very best part of all this? Instead of fighting to get all that pesky silk off? You're going to love it.....steamed like that, when you go to husk them, the silk will virtually fall off in your hand! SOOO much easier than trying to remove it raw! Easier to husk, too, altho you'll want to be cautious of the steam. Short of roasting over on open fire, absolutely the best way I've ever found. Trust me, try it......................  |

Been playing around with this a bit.........toss some watermelon in with that strawberry for a lovely, refreshing strawberry watermelon smoothie! Use either skim milk, or the watermelon juice instead of the soda. A tsp. of vanilla gives it a great ice cream taste. |

Won't hurt it at all to skip the corn. I just like the texture better that way. For the record, according to taste - or whatever sounds good at the moment! - you can also add crumbled bacon, diced onions and/or green peppers, diced sun-dried tomatoes, or just a good shot of coarse ground black pepper,,,,,,or, if you like spicy, sub the cheddar for pepper jack and add chopped jalapenos.
