For Dayle's Simple Pleasures Party: Fresh Corn on the Cob



One of the absolutely yummiest simple pleasures of life is freshly picked corn-on-the-cob.

Sweet, tender, and juicy, it makes a perfect summer supper in and of itself. Accompany it with some fresh tomato slices, mozzarella cheese, and a few basil leaves, all sprinkled with good olive oil and vinegar and wow, it's a treat fit for royalty.

In Central America, corn on the cob is often grilled and served with lime wedges and chili powder. It's really delicious that way, too, and provides a totally different taste.

As children, my father treated us to more delicious ears of corn than I could ever count. He'd go out into his huge garden and pick a big bucketful of corn. Meanwhile, inside the house, Mummy would boil water in a big pot.

As soon as the corn was shucked, into the pot it would go. A few minutes later, a mound of fresh corn on the cob became supper. Slathered with butter and a sprinkling of salt, it tasted absolutely divine.

Still does! It's one of summer's simple (yet fabulous) pleasures!
