Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: to pick someone's brain Can I pick your brain? Sure. What about? American pronunciation. That’s my specialty! Happy Memorial Day!!! It's a day for picnics and...well, I'll tell you in the podcast!! So, tomorrow I am going to be cooking "corn on the cob". Do you know what that is? It's corn...but directly from the plant. I have never cooked corn like that before so I don't want to make any mistakes. I know that I will have to peel off the green leaves, then I will have to remove all of the corn silk (google "corn silk" and you can see what I mean). But for how long do I cook it...in just plain water? Hmm... I know that my mom has a very secret and ancient family recipe...I'm going to ask her for her expert advice! I hope she tells me! When YOU want someone's EXPERT ADVICE/OPINION/KNOWLEDGE, what English expression can you use? You'll find out in today's podcast! Happy Memorial Day Monday!
