One of Eric’s favorite things about summer is fresh corn from the farmer’s market. His schnauzer growing up, Mandy, used to eat corn off the cob, so we gave it a try with Riesling…

She loved it!

Plus, she was a pro, munching away while I turned the ear.

I should add that I watched her very closely while I was shucking the corn lest she wander off with a cob when I wasn’t looking.

The sweet corn I picked up at the farmer’s market was the main course… I surprised Eric with aged manchego cheese, smoked speck, and membrillo with toasted crostini and pumpernickel bread as an appetizer (and wine, of course!) I figure anyone that has to work on a Monday deserves a well-presented and tasty meal when they get home. :)
