Loyal reader and ace Realtor in Rappahannock Country, Nancy Jackson (nancy@michaelmarketingand realestate.com), wrote last week that there is more than one was to skin a cat – and an ear of corn. I wrote that one expert said to pull the husk and silk off from the top, then use a toothbrush and scrub the ears up and down to remove the silk. Nancy does this:
Cut the tail end of the corn off- wrap the corn in waxed paper wrap, put 3 or 4 pieces in the microwave for 6 ½ to 7 minutes (depending on the size of the corn) and cook it. Take it out, throw some newspaper in the sink, use a potholder to pull the corn silk from the top and 98% of it will come off. It’s so easy and so delish.
