Re: "...You can then either put in a 'boat' or you can just tossed the soaked ear on grill. But don't get too close to heat this way as the husks will/can dry out and burn. You will have to watch more closely...." I made"grilled" corn the other night - I shucked the [white] corn & broke each ear in ½ then brought a large pan of water w/ 1 TBP sugar in it (brings out the sweetness of the corn) to a boil, added the corn, covered the pan & turned off the heat & let stand In the meantime I had been BBQing a tri-tip (previously marinated in canola oil, orange juice, chile powder, garlic, black pepper, cider vinegar and dried peppers) About an hour before serving, I cut small-to-medium potatoes in 1/4s coated them well in an olive oil & red pepper spice & started them cooking on the grill - turning them as each side browned - about ½ hour before serving, I did the same w/ whole onions 1/4rd (leave root on so they stay intact) & zucchini (a foot long - cut in ½ lengthwise, then across into 4 equal pieces each) - about 15 mins before serving I took the cooked corn and put it on the grill and drizzled some of the olive oil mix I'd used on the potatoes, onions & zucchini over the corn By this time, I'd pulled the meat off & had my husband slice it - I pulled the veggies off & served w/chilled watermelon I had salsa on the side for the meat We enjoyed the meal on my balcony overlooking Monterey Bay For dessert we had fresh strawberries from my sister-in-law's garden Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com <mailto:sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com> Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com <mailto:srund@svl.ems.lmco.com> LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi <http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi> [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146
