Crazy Good Summer Corn

How fast did the summer go? All summer long I have been cooking up a storm, taking photos, and well, not blogging. My MIA is driven by 1) time and 2) a new camera. Time is obvious, who has enough time in the day? But a new camera? Shouldn't that be a help? Well, my new camera requires me to learn a new way to download photos... this is a WIP!

But I digress, and let's talk corn. Is there anything better than summer corn? How do you cook your corn? In my family, we think we have THE way to cook corn, the Lichten way, taught to us years ago by the Thorps...

Shuck the corn, and get off as much/all the silk. Fill a large enough pot with cold water (leave room for the corn and milk - you'll see). Bring the water to a boil. Add the oorn, and bring back to a boil. On this second boil, add milk (any kind) like you would put milk in your coffee, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let set anywhere from 10 minutes to hours... the corn will be so sweet - no need for butter... Enjoy!
