Clearly it cannot compare to the magnificent sweet corn we enjoy in Iowa, but on a scale of 1-10? Any regional ways to cook and enjoy it? I assume you microwave it like a pro?

We grind it up for grits.

I like virtually all culinary manifestations of corn, but I will never understand why people eat grits. Many years ago I was at a diner somewhere in the South. The breakfast meal I ordered came with choice of grits or hash browns. The waitress didn’t even ask me if I wanted grits. She asked me how I wanted my grits. I politely requested hash browns instead and she looked at me like she’d just caught me in bed with her daughter or something.

Sweet corn in SC is really great but a mid June corn for me as worms get bad in the summer heat

I prefer it grilled in the husk.

option 2 is butter and milk in boiling water for 8-10 minutes

getting ready. To plant some squash and cukes this weekend along with winter crops as Aug 1 triggers get stuff in the ground for winter crops

Most people make it really bad. I cook mine with chicken broth. Give that a try sometime

Probably better than the shrimp in Iowa.

grilled in the husk

in separate news, today’s project is homemade peach ice cream.

People overlook adding spices to the grits water

garlic gives it kick

there are lots of other stuff to add

do a google search of what compliments corn and add it to the water

on cheese I hear Goat cheese is great
