My New Favorite Thing... I Have Lots of Favorites

So, dear friends, corn is in season.  I love corn on the cob: boiled, grilled, roasted... pretty much any way you can make it.  And now I have a new favorite way to eat it.  I used to eat it covered in butter, which is delicious.  Then, one night we were grilling out with a friend who happened to bring an avocado.  For whatever reason, I thought, "Hey, let's make avocado butter and put it on our corn!"  So...

put 1 avocado and 1/2 stick butter (get over it - it's just butter... give up fast food and you'll never have to worry about how much butter you eat ever again, even if you only go twice a month) into a food processor.  Add a bit of salt.  Mix until it is super creamy.  Throw the pit back in to keep it from oxidizing if you're not going to eat for a while.  Spread it on your corn and swoon.  It's that good.

This stroke of genius made me feel amazing, which is really nice because I have begun studying for the GRE and have discovered that I still really stink at high school math.
