A lot of yellow for everyone with this corn on the cob.

The original name of corn is maize and I think most people know this but I was never quite sure why that term was used.

>The more technical name for the big green stalk, maize, came to English from the Spanish maiz, a barely altered version of the Taino (the language native to Hispaniola, the island of Haiti and the Dominican Republic) word for the plant, mahiz.

A little bit of learning to go with my corn works out fine for me.  

I like to microwave my corn personally but you could also boil it too.  This is a hotly debated topic and I find the boiling in water method tends to make it a bit soggy.  This is especially true if you cook it a little too long.

Dressing your corn is another personal choice.  I go with butter and salt.  Recently I was introduced to sprinkling some paprika on it for an extra little zip of flavor.  

Have a fun Yellow Wednesday.
