Smokey Corn on the Cob en le papier d'aluminium

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

Now I had planned on doing this fantabulous cake to bring to my Aunt and Uncle's for today but what a disaster. It looks like a regular cake and then when you cut it, it looks like a flag. How cool is that?? Not very it turns out. Well I will post the long sad story about that tomorrow. Instead, I'll give you something that is also appropriate for the 4th - what goes better with that barbecued chicken, hamburger, and hot dog but corn on the cob!

Smokey corn on the cob en le papier d'aluminium- Yeah I know I've used that line before. But when you have a good thing going with aluminum foil, it's difficult to resist. Sometimes I don't feel like doing corn on the cob in the husks. It is tasty, but the whole soaking so the husks don't burn is too much sometimes. I've come up with this solution.

Smokey Corn on the Cob

4 corn on the cob
4T butter
smokey paprika
salt/pepper

Tear off 4 pieces of aluminum foil. Cut 1/2T of butter into thin pieces and place on each piece of foil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smokey paprika. Place corn on foil.

Again cut 1/2T of butter into small pieces and place on top of corn. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smokey paprika. Grill on hot grill for about 10 minutes.

It may not look charred but it is really delicious. The foil steams the flavor into the corn. It's quick and easy.

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter. Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen. I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing. Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
