I'm still partial to my summer corn-on-the-cob with butter, salt, and fresh-ground pepper, but this was nice and different. I really liked the chili powder and cheese with the corn (the mayo took a bit of getting used to, but I'm not a big mayo fan). Good new taste venture for those corn-lovers among us.

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
