Precisely how I cooked an ear last night for my wife.
You cooked a single ear? I've never heard of such a thing.

Last night I cut the kernels off of 3 left over ears from the night before. Made a pile of corn that would serve a family of four. I pointed out to my wife I can remember my dainty grandma eating 6 ears in one sitting. She liked sweet corn and we always grew about an acre of it each year.
