Last night before the rain I grilled steak, chicken breasts and Chorizo for the week. I need to clean the
grease trap this week, I had a small fire going on in there.

Bi color sweet corn is 8 for $1 this week at da Jewels. Most people overcook corn. You really just need to warm it up. Grilling those and Chicken legs tonight.

Hit nail on head here. If ripe it just needs heated up. Roll it on the grill and call it a go.

I'm not a huge fan of corn. We usually soak ours.

Couldn't wait for Monday so I broke into my shipment tonight. Our fingers are crossed that the weather holds out for my 9th annual horse meat extravaganza. Much less gamey than you would think.

There is a guy who sets up a corn stand every summer in the parking lot of the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store on New York St in Naperville. A few years ago my Wife & I stopped here to buy corn & we were talking with him about the various ways to cook corn, & he peels back the husk on a raw piece & hands it to me & says "go ahead, try it". I took a bite & could not believe how good it was.

I largely agree with this, although I do like to brown a few kernels to get some caramelization/smokiness going.

Most people significantly overcook corn. My father-in-law burns the crap out of it on the grill.

_________________

8 ears corn, husked
3 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
2 cups milk
5 Tbsp. cream cheese
salt
black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper

1. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Arrange the corn on the grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are golden brown and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the corn kernels from the cobs. Discard the cobs. Lower the grill temperature to medium.

2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over the grate. Add the butter to melt, then whisk in the flour until combined and foaming (about two minutes). Gradually whisk in the milk and cream cheese and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick (two to three minutes). Stir in the corn kernels; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, and cook until heated through (another two or three minutes).

You can't buy good corn in a store. The stuff at Jewel is always picked too late and are these huge ass ears that are absolutely horrible.

I just found a hook-up at a Farmer's Market with the best corn I've ever had that I didn't pick myself from a field. The key is to get the younger, smaller ears. The kernel rows should be developed but perfectly straight. If they are starting to get crooked then the corn is getting past its prime and losing its pop and sweetness.

A good ear of corn should be able to be eaten raw dog right out of the husk.

Best corn I ever had was in Bloomington Illinois at some festival or whatever the down state crackers call it. It was like Taste of Chicago only smaller. Like 2 blocks and pretty much all corn. Which was fine cuz it was good. First time I realized how corn is suppose to taste.

Dr. Ken, if you were named admiral of the Turkish navy, I believe your aides could dip into their haversacks and come up with the appropriate decoration.

My 11 year old stepson made some burgers tonight, grinding the meat from scratch... I was pretty much hands off the whole operation except for a moment where half the burger was falling through the grate and a little prompting on cook times -- they were really good burgers. Used chuck and some rib meat and then some of the Worcestershire Pub seasoning from Weber which is pretty decent. Pretty proud of the guy -- he's the go-to cook for his patrol on Boy Scouts now.

It was terrific. Served with some white beans in garlic & olive oil and sauteed mustard greens. some kind of Portuguese wine I picked up at Whole Foods. Great meal all around.

Wifey made a raspberry/rhubarb pie for dessert.
