Betsy’s Favorite Summer Meal
This simple summer meal was sent in by Betsy McCullen. You can also read some of Betsy’s simple living writings on Small Living Journal.
1 – Fresh tomato, sliced with sugar sprinkled on top (the sugar is optional but i like it because it cuts down on the acid i get from tomatoes)
1 – Fresh cucumber, sliced with salt & pepper & sometimes a little oregano
2 – Fresh sweet corn (on the cob), shucked & lightly steamed for about 3 minutes with butter, salt & pepper
Sweet Corn Tips:
1) I use a buttered slice of bread: after buttering the bread, I roll the corn around on it to coat and then I eat the delicious bread too!!
2) Longer but tasty alternative to steaming: soak the corn (shuck and all) for about 20 minutes in cold water, then place it on the outdoor BBQ grill turning once for about 8-10 total minutes (or to your own taste), then shuck and add butter/salt/pepper.
