How to grill corn...the right way.

I'm going to show you how to grill corn with out the husk. That's right, none of that soaking or tin foil nonsense here. I guarantee it'll be the best corn you've ever had. Let's get started.




When selecting corn, the husks should be bright green and the silk golden brown and slightly sticky. Take a peek at the kernels, they should be medium sized and plump. No shriviling allowed.




The first thing you want to do is shuck the corn. Remove all of the husk and as much silk as you can. Leave any remaining stalk on the ear, it makes a nice handle.




Next, you will need a brush and some olive oil. Salt and pepper are optional, but highly recommended, I prefer kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. You can use what ever seasoning you like for your corn.




Preheat the grill to med to med-high. Gas or charcoal is fine. If you use charcoal do us all a favor and lose the starter fluid, use a chimney starter instead.




Brush the cobs with olive oil and place directly on the grill grate. Lightly season with salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings.




Turn the corn every 2-4 minutes, season lightly after doing so.




The corn should take approximately 15-20 minutes and be lightly browned.




You may add butter if you wish, but since it's already seasoned there is nothing left to do but enjoy.




Mmmmm...delicious. Every kernel pops in your mouth.

St. Valentine's Day

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I took my Christmas lights down.
Now I hope you will too.



At least unplug them!

I'm tired

I want a job in a nice warm and cozy office. Maybe, I'll start drinking coffee and hang around the water cooler chatting up all the office babes.

I guess I need to get over my irrational fear of paper writing and go back to school to get a degree in something or other. That's going to be tough considering my completely rational fear of real, living, breathing people.

The Motor City Moron

Gov. Rick Perry is an idiot for asking Ted Nugent to play at his inaugural ball . It's not the first time the "Deadly Tedly" has opened his mouth and showed his stupidity and unfortunately it probably won't be the last.

Ted Nugent at the 2005 NRA Convention:
"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em! To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."



Quick! Somebody name a Nugent song that isn't "Cat Scratch Fever".

I'm glad he moved to Texas so we no longer have to claim him.
