I know you are not eating genetically modified corn….. are you?
NO CHEF!
Good. I knew I could count on you to put your foot down and just say no to Monsanto!
I was surprised. Ralph’s and Von’s have an organic section, but I actually had to go to Jimbo’s to get some good corn this year.
Many, many years ago I lived in New Hampshire. Now that was corn. Little white delectable pieces of corn. You didn’t need salt. You didn’t need butter. It was soooo good! lol
With today’s corn, organic or not, I always put a teaspoon of salt, and two tablespoons of Coconut Sugar into the water. Then when I cook it, the flavor infuses into the corn. Pretty good.
Today is a picnic day for me. So I don’t want to be eating an entire cob of corn, getting it stuck in my teeth. Right?
RIGHT CHEF!
So, I cut it into cobbettes! But there’s a trick to it, so I thought I would show you how.
First of all, use the right tool for the right job. A serrated knife will do the trick!
Cut into the top of the corn. It’s not gonna let you cut all the way through. Trust me. So rock your knife back and forth and voila! It will snap in half!
I used to really fight with corn until I learned this trick so I hope it helps you this Fourth of July!
And I want you to remember: If you are eating the “All American” meal of grease (hamburgers) and mystery meat (hot dogs), save your salad or eat an apple last.
Disease cannot grow in an alkaline body. So please! Bring your body back to Alkaline!
And two last things? We’re probably all going to have a drink or two this 4th. So manage a glass of water between each drink. And if you drink more than you should? First and most important: Don’t Drive Dude!
And second, drink lots of water before you go to sleep. Alcohol dehydrates you. That’s a big part of the hangover. So do yourself a favor and water your self down!
Happy Eating,
Chef Marian
