Cooking Simplified
It’s May, and the weather still refuses to catch up to the calendar. Though I’m not quite ready to break out the watermelon, my corn on the cob cravings have kicked in. Well – to be honest – I saw the season’s first cobs of corn on display at Trader Joe’s and promptly started drooling. …
