Boiling Corn

One thing Matt and I can both agree on is corn. Sweet, sweet corn. It's so tasty and we have both been known to eat an entire can of corn in one sitting (well, maybe that's just me).

Corn for dinner

We even agree on the best method to cook corn - boiling water on the stove. This will be a rare occasion folks, our agreement. So in celebration of that, we've decided to indulge a bit tonight and are having us some corn with dinner!

Apparently there is quite a debate on how long corn needs to be boiled. Some say that you should put the corn in at the beginning, allow the water to boil then cook the corn for a few minutes. Others prefer to boil the water first, throw in the corn and cook for up to 7 minutes. We've decided on the former and will let the corn come to boil and then we'll watch it for a couple of minutes.

Needless to say, I'm very excited. Neither of us had corn in a long time and this is actually the first time that either of us have cooked it without a parent (Matt's Dad cooked their corn and my Mom cooked our corn in the family).

We even learned a new method to butter your corn! You can butter a piece of bread and then roll the ear of corn across the buttered slice and voila! Perfectly buttered corn without the hassle!

What we will learn on the internet next?!
