The best frozen corn I ever ate was frozen shucks & all. When ready to cook, was microwaved shucks & all, still on the cob. For the life of me, I cannot remember how long I cooked it in the microwave. That last bunch I did this way was over 5 years ago, and I've never been sharp on details when it comes to memory.
You are making me hungry with tales of your garden. Your words paint a beautiful picture.
