adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: Make] MEXICAN CORN ON THE COB

  • 4 ears of corn
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated cotija cheese
  • 4 wedges lime (optional)
  • Cayenne spice
  • Directions:

    If you don’t have a grill…

    In an oven heated at 350, cook corn in husk for 25 minutes.

    After taking corn out of oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then pull husk layers off.

    If you want to blacken you corn for some of that grilling effect, put it under the broiler for 3-4 minutes on each side.

    Roll the ears in melted butter, then spread with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and cayenne (be careful). Serve with a lime wedge to squeeze just before eating.

    A bit messy to make but totally cheap and delicious… and so fast.
