"Fresh corn on the cob never tasted sweeter or better! My mom taught me this simple technique and it is always a hit People compliment me on how delicious the corn is and where DID I get it? Good local corn helps but this will make any supermarket corn come alive."

  • In a large pot place 2-3 inches of water. Add milk and sugar and mix well. Add corn.
  • Cover and bring to a boil. Let them low boil for 3-5 minutes watching that water level doesn't go too low. Add more water if needed.
  • Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Rermove and serve immediately nice and hot with butter and salt.
  • We usually eat our food while these are cooking and then clean our plates or get clean ones and enjoy our corn. We always say"don't forget to leave room for the corn!" and we always save these treats for last.

<p><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /> <br />I work in a hospital as a Unit Secretary in a Cardiology Unit. It is such a busy, fast paced job that there are times I come home drained. I have learned to make fast easy meals from Recipezaar and save the more complicated ones for my days off. My husband is in the Army and was away for a year and now is stationed so far that he comes home on Friday nights and goes back Monday mornings. So I always like to have some nice meals waiting for him. <br />I always say it is like we are dating again. Since we only see eachother on weekends I try to impress him with a nice homecooked meal when he gets home. He usually eats at the mess hall. Other nights we will go out to dinner and a movie. I have one son who has been my Rock of Gibraltar through this. so some of meals are geared towards his tastes. He works and goes to college so I try to sneak a special meal in for him when he is home. Which isn't too often. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing some of mine.</p>
