COB OFF THE COB
I love corn but not crazy about eating it on the cob. I devised a way that I can enjoy fresh corn on my plate without the cob. I used a large bowl to work so you can catch all the corn. You should go back a second time with your knife to get all the tasty kernels. I included pictures to show the process.
