In the spring, plant corn seeds in perfect, long rows that are wide enough to easily walk through. In late
July, go out to the garden and pick about 50 ears of corn. Shuck corn and clean off all the silk. Bring
water to a boil in a large pot and slip ears into the water. Boil 10 minutes, until corn kernels change to a
less milky, opaque color. Remove ears from water, placing them on large cookie sheets. Set the table
with plates and lots of napkins. Serve the corn with sticks of butter and shakers of salt and black
pepper. Eat an ear from left to right; repeat. Discard empty ears on a different cookie sheet. Also, may
be served with Cucumbers in Vinegar and/or Tomato Slices. Meat is completely optional. But required is
Diet Pepsi over lots of ice.
