Corn on the cob is my most favorite thing about summer. No, wait! My most favorite thing about summer is getting in the pool every day. No, wait, wait! My most favorite thing about summer is not having to warm my car up for five minutes on cold mornings. No, wait, wait, wait! My MOST favorite thing about summer is that no one else wants to spend it here in the desert and we Zonies get most of the state all to ourselves for a few months.
Okay, let's start again. My most favorite EDIBLE thing about summer is definitely corn on the cob. Is there anything that tastes more like July? I was raised on Silver Queen white corn in Virginia, but here in the southwest we enjoy Olathe sweet corn from Colorado, and I'm still a happy girl. Whether you grill it, boil it, or zap it in the microwave, it's all good. Enjoyed with sweet butter and black pepper, a squeeze of lime and a little chili powder, or full-on Mexican street corn with mayonnaise, lime juice, and cotija cheese, it's all delicious.
Do you have any unusual ways to enjoy corn? I'd love to hear them. Leave a comment!

Yes, I couldn't agree more about fresh ears of corn, despite the fact I must now cut it off the cob and mix with at least butter, salt and pepper. Some of your suggestions may have to be considered, but I sure do like the TASTE of just picked, just cooked corn on or off the cob!!!!!!!!!
Full-on Mexican street corn please! Now I won't be able to stop thinking about it...
Cindy, I agree. If you're going to go down that road, go all the way!
