When you drive out of the city on weekends, you will kiosks at the corners selling corn. At the grocery store you will see corn at ridiculously low prices. At all the festivals and local baseball games there are corn cobs dipped in butter for sale.Corn is everywhere.As I get ready for the state fair, I know I will see lots of corn and be tempted smelling the sweet butter things going by.
        I am sure you have stories about the great corn you ate growing up. My cookbook would have a story that some of you might be able to add to your cookbooks.But it is not one of eating corn as a young kid. In fact I did not eat it until I was a teenager during my annual country visit at my aunt and uncles farm when I went to the county fair. My parents did not have corn growing up. They thought of corn was feed for cattle. This little story makes my recipe worth trying or making it more special than just a recipe. It would be my family cookbook and the traditional foods of my growing up.
        Next story, the battle of grilled corn. Which instructions would I include? I soak the ears in water for an hour and put them on the grill for 10 minutes and then twist them around until all sides are cooked up to 10 minutes.It all deeps on how hot your fire it is. It takes about  30 minutes. They steam in the husks and the silk seems to disappear. My partner takes the silk out and then soaks them and ties the husks back on. His gets his toasty and loves the taste.  I think they are a little dry. He likes his and I like mine. So I guess this little story would have to be included for these recipes. I guess the way to cook them in boiling water is our safe way to avoid disagreements on corn on the cob.
         When you check out the recipes for corn right now you see some that ask for corn cut off the cob and then frozen. That gives you lots of ways to cook it later and but summer on your table in the middle of winter. Corn Chowder never tasted better than on a cold winter's day. Corn Bread or corn souffle are just a few ways to bring summer back to your home when the snow is flying.
          So as you go to the farm stand or grocery store and see 12 ears of corn for a very low price buy it knowing you can cut it and freeze to so many recipes. Look at this link and just type corn into the blank.
