Nope. Can't improve on fresh, right off the stalk corn.
Wrap in wax paper (no, not Glad Wrap)
Microwave for 2 minutes per ear.
Enjoy.

Ever try Microwave in husk?
Works pretty well.

I may try it, but I'm think three and a half minutes would be overcooked for my taste. (Who has actually eaten some raw while walking back from the field) Pretty cool not having to de-husk, though.

I usually throw it directly on the grill in husk, peel off the outermost layer, trim the top and bottom and flip them once as the husk turns brown. Good, fresh corn really doesn't need to be cooked, just heated.

Got real hungry and conjured up summadis:

1) avacado
2) Mexican cheese blend
3) chives
4) lemon juice
5) tortillas

Squish everything together into the from of a quesadilla. Grill like you would a grilled cheese sammich. Eat

... Who has actually eaten some (corn) raw while walking back from the field ...

Depending on the freshness, ripeness and variety, not even heated.

I've been known to eat raw baked beans straight from the can.

Pizza Hut and Dominos numbers 1 &2....... says something about 'Merica that doesn't make me to proud.

Give me a good mom and pop pizzeria any day.

Sure - as are all the "top howmany of whatever." But still...

It wasn't many years ago that Domino's was on TV admitting they had lousy pizza and talking about new chefs with new recipes. I haven't been to Pizza Hut in probably 25 years, but they did used to make a decent pie if you stayed away from the funky stuff. I can vouch for the Mello, though.

My usuals are not ranked, Ingles and the Hooterville Co-op (of course). If I was buying seafood at all and didn't have the Co-op, I might switch to Food Lion.

Believe it or not, I find Little Caesars $5 pepperoni pizza right choicey, No fake ingredients, just bread, cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. Their supreme pizzas aren't to bad either, certainly not as pricey as top name pizza. I agree with the assessment of Mom & Pop's pizza too. Somehow I just can't cotton to dead minnows, ham, pineapple, and a few other choice additives being put on pizza. It just ain't right.

Peperonni and onions man. That's my stuff right there. Simple, yet refined.

I love dead minnows on the French version of pizza, Pissaladiere, which I often cook.

The only reason my personal rule is to eat pizza only in NY or NJ isn't because there aren't other worthy pies. It's because pizza is high calorie, high fat, and high sodium. I don't eat a lot of salt and one pizza can bloat me up 5+ pounds for most of a week. Other than that, I'd eat pizza several times a week. Sometimes fresh, sometimes cold for breakfast. With pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, extra cheese, onions, green peppers, and anchovies.
And chased with a lot of 1554.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

"If ... might". Hard to find any serious issue with buying from the Co-op.
