Summer handled the introductions
Charred corn and ripe peaches met on one platter and did not need much else.

We put charred corn and peaches on the same platter. Summer handled the introductions.
The grill had done enough by the time the corn came off: dark edges, warm kernels, and the kind of smoke that reaches the table before the plate does. Peaches went beside it because the counter had been full of them all week.
We brought the platter outside with herbs, a little salt, and no further ceremony. The sweetness and char found their balance without a complicated sauce or a long list of instructions.
The complete recipe keeps the proportions and the useful equipment close for the next evening that calls for the same easy arrangement.
