I allowed myself an all American treat for supper tonight- corn on the cob. Yum, with butter and salt, it was delicious. One ear of corn.

I know, my fellow New Yorkers are going to be laughing at this. One ear of corn? A treat? The thing costs 10 cents, how can that be a treat? It's cheap summer food.

Umm not here in London. Here it costs $1.20 an ear on sale. And it's not even the sweet and creamy fresh American corn. It's tasty but believe me folks, it's not sweet or creamy. It's more like canned niblets corn but still much nicer.

I can remember pinching pennies in NYC and buying fresh corn in season 10 for $1 because it was so tasty and so cheap.

Still it was a lovely, buttery treat.
