So, everyone talks about the fact that the summer is winding down - what the hell? Summer wasn't summer at all. Oh, we did all the "summer" things - we went to the lake, we sat out by the pool, we bbq'd ... but all of these activities took place in the cool, damp weather that will forever be remembered as the shitty summer of 2009.
Yet, somehow, in the early days of September, Mother Nature decided to show us some mercy and has opened up a can of sunshine on our asses. It's been a beautifully warm month so far. So, what are we doing? Well, we're trying to catch up! So, the pool heater is still chugging away and we're spending ever last moment either in it or around it with a fresh bevvy and some great summer munchies. We're bbq'ing like nobody's tomorrow, aaaaaaand most importantly, we are eating as much corn on the cob as we can! Corn on the Cob is the ultimate food of summer - next to watermelon - and when you have that small window of time during this season, you need to go into corn-on-the-cob overdrive! All corn ..... All the time!!!
The perfect corn is made by boiling the water, adding the cobs and allowing to boil for 8 minutes. Then pull it out, butter, salt and pepper according to personal taste and devour!!! Funny how you can eat 2 or 3 cobs, but if you actually took the time to cut the corn off the cob, you'd be amazed at how much corn there actually is on a cob. However, when you get that perfect batch .... nice and sweet, crispy, pops off the cob without getting caught in your teeth ..... aaaaaaaaaaaah, there's nothing better!!!
