| Friends, hello from Lake George 👋 Earlier this week I bought the first local corn of the season, a dozen and a half ears for the 13 of us staying at Lake George.* That night for dinner, I cooked the ears as I most often do in the summer: steamed in a little bit of water in a covered pot for about 5 minutes. When cooking corn for a crowd, this is what I do: stuff the ears, broken in half, into a large pot, add two cups of water, cover with foil, bring to a boil, then set a timer for 5 minutes. When the timer dings, turn off the heat, remove the pan from the burner, and let the corn sit until serving time, another 5 minutes or so. The corn will emerge firm and juicy, cooked just enough, which is all it needs. Friends! Is there anything better than the first corn of the season? We ate it aside chicken souvlaki, tzatziki, and warm bread. It was heaven. Here are 3 favorite corn recipes I'm so looking forward to making: Deborah Madison's Corn Fritters Fresh Corn Polenta: It's truly one of my all-time favorite things to eat.
