Corn on the cob



I was noticing something tonight as we ate our first corn on the cob of the season. First, it wasn't very yummy. Probably because it was grown in a greenhouse somewhere and didn't just grow naturally in my garden. (Whatev!) Second, I noticed that we all have different ways we eat the corn off the cob. For example, Meghan and I eat it in rows down the length of the cob. Jonathan, Jenny and Mike eat around the cob in neat (well, Jonathan's isn't "neat") little rings. And Rachel takes bites randomly all over the cob until it is cleaned off.

Hmmmmm. So, it made me wonder.....how do YOU eat your corn-on-the-cob?

We all eat it in rows length wise... except Baby Girl... she eats in rings.
We just had some corn on the cob that was local... it was pretty good. I tried something new when I was boiling it... I usually put a little salt in the water... this time I added a bit of sugar too. Brought out the sweetness in the corn.

I eat mine fast so I can give Evie my cob to gnaw on. She LOVES it!!
