It’s Amaizing!

May 26, 2000February 15, 2017

Corn: the only food that needs no cleaning, comes in its own microwavable container — and has its own handle! Reason enough to set sail for the New World.

Four minutes in the microwave, allow to cool down, pull back the green husks (which thus form an even larger handle), apply butter and salt. Chomp. (Corn handle gripped tightly in left fist, beer bottle in right.)

There you have it, a true miracle of nature: Corn — Cooking Like a Guy™ Recipe #5.

No offense to the other vegetables.

Happy summer.

(For previous recipes, none of them requiring a whisk, see December 13, January 5, January 21 and April 11.)
