What's For Dinner?

[roseofblack25]

Tonight was takeout Chinese food - we needed a change, and it was yummy. Enough for tomorrow, too, always a bonus!

I always love that about chinese food! Lots of leftovers for the next day and I think it tastes better the second day!

I like it on the grill too, but have never cooked it that way myself. I always boil it. Bring the water to a rolling boil, add the corn, reduce heat to half, boil 7 minutes, not a second longer. there's a place at the flea market at the other end of the GTA - they bbq it and then add hot spices and lime juice - yummmmmm.

This may sound weird but it works really well! Wrap your husked corn in a paper towel, run it under the tap to get the paper towel nice and wet and them wrap tightly in tin foil. grill on medium for about 20-25 minutes( I am really bad at timing things), turning at about the 10-15 minute mark. I like to do my corn this way because the corn doesn't char and is really moist and it will sit in the foil and stay hot while I am grilling the meat. Good Luck

It lookslike my meal plan for the rest of the weekdays will be:

Tonight: Quiche with shallots, bacon and gruyere cheese served with a side salad using my homegrown tomatoes

Wednesday: Chicken soluvlaki, lemon roasted taters,tatziki(homemade of course ), and greek salad with more of my tomatoes

Thursday: BBQ'd rosemary chicken, leftover taters, grilled corn

Friday: Hotdogs on the bbq with chili

[harbie]

I changed my mind. Yes it happened in mere minutes

Friday will be personal pizza's with the leftovers

Monday will be the dogs and chili

silly question ninna - what's it soaking in? Just water so doesn't burn?

Yup. Plain old water. When you cook corn on the cob in an open fire you have to soak it for at least 5-6 hours to prevent it from burning up in the fire. Ideally, you would soak the corn longer (overnight if possible). As it was, we had soaked ours for 6 hours and some of the corn was still burnt inside. But--it was tasty nonetheless. Love that smoky flavour!
