first corn of the season

This afternoon, I drove over to the local organic farm stand and picked up some corn. For dinner, we had two ears each plus a lot of salad, for which I steamed, then cooled, a small potato and a couple of beets. Our salad also included Feta cheese and half an avocado.

Oh -- cooking corn. I shuck it, wrap each ear in wax paper, and pop them in the microwave for about two minutes each. I like it with butter and salt; Mr. P likes it with olive oil. First corn of the season is such a treat, an exciting and notable occasion.
