The downward spiral begins. I know boring but my first trial of sous vide. Thank you Amazon Prime Day and Anova. Good testcase as I was preheating I was swearing at my foodsaver that I haven't used in a while. Stupid thing gets fussy sometimes after vacuuming and then not sealing.

Corn on the cob from the farm down the street.

I have typewriter mouth where corn OTC is involved. I'd hammer that, carriage return, hammer, etc
 
Am I the only one who likes leftover cooked corn OTC? Like taking a cold ear right out of the fridge and biting it right off the cob?

I also really like cutting leftover corn off the cob and using it in shrimp tacos with avocado and raw onion, but I love it right off the cob. There have been plenty of summer Sunday morning brew days where I've sat there eating a cold leftover ear of corn while heating up the strike water.

Leftover corn gets cut off the cob and used to make a fried medly of (choose 3) red peppers, corn, black beans, tomatillas, portabella mrooms. And olive oil and spices. Yummers. This type of year COTC is super cheap at the grocer.

Now, the methods of cooking are many. I like mine charred right on the grill. I like to tie the husks back into a handle, and defloss. Use a single piece of husk for the tiestring.

Well done.

I knew a sweet corn breeder that would bring a propane burner out to the field, get a kettle of water boiling, and toss a freshly picked ear in at lunch.

Anything less was uncivilized.

When my brothers and I were young, we used to go into the corn fields near our fishing rivers and pull sweet corn right off the stalk and eat it. Fishing makes you hungry.
 
Gurgle love sweet corn but here in Ioway (where the tall corn grows) we haven't had any yet. We did make a lamb chop roast, coated in herbs, yesterday. And beef fajitas tonight. Sorry, no pix....
 
No pics here either but we had Oak-grilled, rosemary scented NY strip steaks. I didn't tell KOTC this in advance BUT those steaks, which were vacuum-sealed and still perfectly tightly sealed, were dated 2006! LOL!

AFTER we ate them and he said it was one of the better strip steaks he's eaten (we actually prefer rib steaks) I told him they were 11 years old. He said, "Well, yet another good reason to vacuum-seal stuff!"

And yes, I DO defrost my freezer at least annually - but those never got tossed out because the seal was always perfect - just kept chucking them back in there. Finally decided it was time to try them, since there were leftover grilled hot links in the fridge for backup.
 
On vacation in the Caribbean, so I didn't cook this, but.....caught some mahi mahi and brought the fillets to the chef at the resort. He grilled it, and served it with rice, fried plantains, and a coconut sauce. It was delicious.
