Microwaved Corn on the Cob & Happy Juneteenth

There are many times in my house, that I don’t have an extra stove burner to cook my fresh corn.

For those times, I use my microwave.  I first remove the corn husks. 

Then I cut off both ends of the cobs to give it a neater appearance.

Wrap each corn cob in a piece of dampened paper towel.

I then microwave the corn for about 5 to 10 minutes.  The steam from the damp paper towels cooks the corn.

My microwave is approximately 35 years old and doesn’t have the wattage of some of the newer models out there.  So I generally microwave my corn for a little bit longer.

Also, of consideration is if your corn on the cob is farm fresh or has been in the refrigerator.  If it has been in the refrigerator, then allow for more time to microwave.

Yesterday our state made Juneteenth a permanent paid state holiday.

Today the Smithsonian National Museum of African America History and Culture, also, offered a program entitled, “Juneteenth:  A Celebration of Resiliency”.

    Sorry I didn’t do much “research” on saving the baby bunnies. I generally do not like to touch a baby animal in case the mother comes back. Enjoy your day.
