I have this thing about me. I like food. And I like talking to people on airplanes.
I met the gal who owns this adorable culinary shop in Long Island, outside of Manhattan, a couple of years ago. She became my food bestie and when she posts recipes, you need to take them to the bank. This one is for Mexican Sweet Corn. I swear, it tastes just like the Mexican Corn at Local Lime. They’ll even cut it off the cob for you there.
While we can still get the good corn from the different farmers’ markets, grab some. Freeze it. And when it’s time, make this.
