Grilled Corn
This recipe is a rather unexpected one. I was only planning to have one more (not this one, that is) before the school holidays start...
But you know, when you see corn in it's husk at the fruit and veg shop for 49c each, you can't help but get excited. I mean, I don't even like corn that much. I may be more impartial towards Asian-style corn (for a lack of a better name), its the kind thats chewy and sticky and oh-so-lovely, but I can only buy it frozen WITHOUT A HUSK here. So, when I saw the sweetcorn at the shop I remembered the time when I went on holidays to Shanghai, China, and I was walking along the street, not used to bitter cold and seeing street vendor's selling sweet potatoes and corn on a grill with the hot smokey-ish steam rising into the air. And you could also see that husk of the corn was all nice and charred. Oooh~
But sweetcorn is alright too, I s'pose...
Um, this recipe requires so little effort, which is why I felt like eating corn? I don't even know if this could be classified as a recipe. Seriously. You know, I can't even stand for more than 20 seconds (LITERALLY) without feeling the need to sit or rest. My legs are so sore!~ ...because I went to the city and walked for 7-8 hours straight (no exaggeration) to sell badges for charity. AND I raised ~$600! All by myself. *feels proud*
Back to the topic of corn...
Usually, when I think of grilled corn, it's "let's spend an hour setting up a giant charcoal barbeque and grill two cobs of corn". So, I 'grilled' it in a skillet. And I love those little dark 'grill' patches that give it a really nice flavour and make it look so pretty, so I when grilled two cobs of corn, only one ended up having pretty grill marks because I ate the other one.
