My best recipe for corn on the grill:

Buy corn in the husk and remove just the outermost leaves.
Carefully peel back the remaining leaves and remove the silk.
Drizzle olive oil over the corn.
Sprinkle salt and chipotle powder on the corn.
Rub the mixture over the corn to coat evenly.
Put the husks back over the corn and grill for a total of about 5 minutes, rotating every minute or so.

The husks will retain the moisture and flavor and help cook the corn faster.

I've avoided putting salt on the corn until after cooking, because I'm afraid it might make the kernels tough. Apparently, this fear is unfounded...

Don't go crazy with the salt, just a "sprinkling" (for the May Queen)...

I'm trying your method KC. They are soaking in water now. I don't have twine to tie the ends on though, I'll just have to try to keep it on as best I can.

Anyone heard the Duct Tape Madrigal? It's published on the first Car Talk Car Songs CD. Fantastic stuff. I'll have to look up the guy's website--I owe him a CD purchase...

Bridgman,

I've got me some cabbage. What do I do? Just wrap some foil on its bottom and throw it on the barbie for 1.75 hours? Do I need to dress it up at all?

Alright. There it is. By the way the rub consists of lemon zest, rosemary, paprika, salt, thyme & pepper. I drowned garlic, rosemary sprigs, red pepper flakes, oilve oil, lemon juice & thyme in the beer. Pour the lemon juice in slowly or you'll have a geyser on your hands.

Now I have to throw on some of Peter's corn. My wife will be so pleased when she gets home from work. Yes, I am practicing to be a homedad .

That cabbage smells absolutely wonderful. And there's the corn adorned with the olive oil/chipotle powder conconction. And my wife is just pulling up in the driveway. I'll get bonus points for this .

Sorry about the late response. The recipe I used involved inverting the cabbage, carving out the core leaving a cone-shaped opening, using a foil ring to hold the cabbage upside-down, then filling the opening with a mixture of bacon, butter cubes and bbq sauce. I would not use that recipe again -- my guess is that just cooking it plain would be better.

The recipe did call for brushing the outside of the cabbage with bacon grease, which I forgot to do so can't comment on the result.

Looks like a great meal.
