For an extra spicy kick try salt, lime, and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Oooooiiieeee!

As a Native Texan hot sauce, lime, and salt are a common theme. Sometimes we add that to our beer with some Clamato or Spicy V8 to add some festivity to our evening brew. We call it a Michelada. Here's a recipe in case you are game to try it. https://muybuenocookbook.com/spicy-michelada/

The first time I heard of this drink I wasn't sure I would like it. One sip later and I have become a lifelong fan. The flavor is so good. One word of caution: you will get full after a couple. It's the Clamato/V8 juice. Very filling.

We call corn as mais in our locality. 😊
I used to boil corn and use the water as a tea. 😊

Yes I believe maize is also a yellow color. Of course us Michiganders know that from the maize and blue for the U of M Wolverines.

Apparently there are infinite rabbit holes one can find to go down here.

I didnt know how much I didnt know until spending time on here lol!

Lol they dont want to lose a penny!

I love corn on the cob when it is coming in freshly. My Dad use to grow some every summer. He preferred the kind called Silver Queen. It was white instead of yellow. Because we grew up on it, loved it and it held great memories, that is still my preference today. Each year when the harvest started coming in, he would pick it fresh, we'd all help shuck & brush it and then he would boil pots and pots of it and we ate it for supper, all we could hold !

To this today, like you said, the secret to boiling is to not over cook it. 7 minutes..... that is the length of time once it comes to a boil. Salt, pepper and butter... lots of butter... dripping with butter... yum yum !

Every year I still want to do that in the summer, even though I don't grow it myself, I seek out the farmers who still grow this kind (which is harder and harder to find)..... and at least once or twice, I cook a big pot and eat all I can hold.

Some traditions are just SO worth holding onto.

Buttery corn heaven for sure !

I love mentally traveling back to those wonderful childhood days. There is nothing like those kind of memories to fill you full of the warm fuzzies.
