Were it just me, I would have the corn (with butter, salt & lots of fresh pepper),
and who cares if nothing else is served? lol

My family, however, tends to want a full meal for some reason. Go figure. I'm having
trouble with red meat making me sick so steaks and burgers are out, and fish doesn't
seem quite right. So, I am thinking some kind of chicken or pork. Any ideas?

The corn is most likely going to be done on the grill. I got it from Chino Farms, and
it's heavenly. It's bi-color, which is usually the closest thing you can find to
yellow corn here.

When it's really sweet I like to eat it raw off the cob. Otherwise, I
steam it, roll it butter and serve with chicken (hot or cold), potato
salad and green salad. Bring on summer (it's still winter down here).
Other members of the family (and friends) like it with steak or
hamburgers. The only thing it doesn't go well with - IMO - is seafood.

Marinate some boneless chicken boobs cut into chunks in lime juice, olive
oil, garlic (lots), thyme, oregano, some red pepper flakes, and s/p to taste
for about 45 minutes. Put on skewers and grill until done. One of my
favorite ways to grill chicken.

I hear ya. However, my almost perfect corn this evening came with
some rib roast and some really good mashed potatoes. Iced tea.

At my house when corn hits the peak we have pork ribs. Some times we'll
have baked beans too but most of the time we just have corn and ribs.

Truly, I'd maybe shape burger patties and let them cook them as they
will. Pork and chicken don't seem quite right to me, but if they do to
you, I'd grill some chicken legs and maybe have some sliced cukes or
green beans or tomatoes. You know how I'm not about gilding a lily.

That's something I look forward to enjoying one day ... unless I'm
burned at the steak before I have a chance.

On the other hand, it goes very well with salmon & cottage cheese
(made with cc, canned salmon, Heinz Mayonnaise, finely diced onion or
spring onion, parsley and ground pepper).

Salmons & cottage cheese is a summer favourite and, after 25 years of
making it (got the recipe from a weight watchers newspaper supplement
and tweaked it) we still get family and friends asking for it when
they visit. The secret is the Heinz mayo.

Well, if you're going to be burned, being attached to a steak *would* be
a tasty way to go.

Salt and pepper. If it's perfect, butter is totally unnecessary.

And even the S&P are optional.

But for nutrition, you also need beans and squash.

I'm in your corner:

corn
butter
salt

A three-course meal. ;-)

It's so hot here I can't imagine cooking anything else unless it's
grilled outdoors.

Nice to see you too
I wound up doing chicken, used a dry rub on it and it turned out good. I had a small
piece, and 2 ears of corn! ;-)
I went to Chino Farms this morning to visit the vegetable stand and took home quite a
haul! A dozen ears of the bi-color corn (the lady in front of me asked for Bipolar
corn! lol), white and red raspberries, a few plums, a basket of strawberries, some
blue lake green beans, and haricot verts, some yellow beans, and some of the most
luscious tomatoes ever. My husband's out of town today, so me and the girl will be
having corn with a side of green beans and a tomato-cucumber salad for dinner,
followed by the raspberries with some vanilla bean gelato. Works for me!
