One of my favorite things about summer in R.I. is the availability of sweet corn. I have purchased sweet corn all over the state as well as in southeastern, MA and I have to say the best I've had continues to be from Usher's farm stand which is close to where I live located on Rt. 136/Metacom Ave. in Bristol directly across the street from Super Stop & Shop. Usher's corn is the yellow and white kernel butter & sugar variety and is so tasty you honestly do not need butter or salt to enhance it's flavor. Definitely pick up a dozen if you happen to be in the area and you won't be sorry.

Now that I have shared my sweet corn secret, can someone share with me their tomatoes secret. My late Dad grew great tomatoes, and since he passed I no longer have access to these true garden gems and really do miss them.

Beefsteak tomatoes are wonderful especially between 2 slices of plain white bread with a slathering of mayo and a little salt and pepper.

For some reason, they're not posting. That's OK, I'll take your word for it. I loves me some beefsteaks.

A mater sandwich does sound really good, but it begs the question, is a slathering of mayo more than smithering of mayo? Is it more than a glob? More than a smidgen? We need to know these things.
