Corn on the Cob

It's a holiday weekend -- and it's raining in southern Alabama. Poor folks going to the beach. Probably won't have a great deal of sun for the next few days. That has never stopped a good Southern family from eating. In the South, any time is a good time to eat.

Corn on the Cob is a wonderful item to prepare. Most kids love to eat it. Just don't tell them it's a vegetable. Adults like it too. Unless they have false teeth issues. I won't even go there. Just remember that if an older person declines, don't take it personally and don't push them to eat it anyway.

Fortunately, this recipe is prepared inside. It's also something kids can help prepare. Be careful when the corn comes out of the microwave though. It will be hot so it's best if adults handle that part.

Corn on the Cob

corn
butter or margarine
salt
waxed paper

Remove the husk, etc. from the ear of corn. We usually do two or three ears at a time. Obviously, for a crowd do more. Rub a little butter or margarine on the corn. Add a little salt to taste. Wrap each individual ear of corn in waxed paper, twisting the ends to seat it. Place on a microwave plate.

Cook corn in the microwave on high for three minutes. Turn each ear over. Cook for another two minutes or until tender.

Eat!
