Got four ears of fresh local corn yesterday at the Northside Farmers Market, and luckily the mystery ears proved to be two each of butter-and-sugar and Silver Queen: the first sweet and a mite starchy, the latter more green and fresh. We had it the Southwestern way, with butter, a squeeze of lime, salt, and Chimayo heirloom chile, whose redness shows you how much seasoning you're putting on the corn.
Second course was a nice thick gazpacho made with more Farmers Market finds, including a big pink heirloom tomato, green bell pepper, bulbous green onions, and local garlic.
We have nothing to add to that, except that the better the tomatoes, the better the gazpacho. And these (unrefrigerated, mind you) were damn good.
