Jan, it sounds like you've got it all figured out for you to get a good night's sleep. That's great. My sleeping has been much improved since I got an adjustable bed last summer. A world of difference.
Okay, I had sweetcorn with my dinner. I tried the around the cob method. I tried up over the top and then I tried going down. They both felt strange. I cooked it by the new method I heard about. You just stick the ear (shucks and all) into the mw and cook it for 4 minutes. That baby was hot! I burned my fingers. I burned my tongue. I burned my gums just biting the corn off. Next time I might let it cool down a little before trying it! LOL It did cook great in the mw though and no silks to bother me.
