e invited my Dad over and we wanted to grill out. So...I had the brilliant idea to try and grill corn on the cob to go along with the steak Josh wanted grill. I googled directions to learn more about grilling corn on the cob. It seemed simple enough. So, I decided to try it out. So, I cleaned the corn. And yes, you all know I grew up in Iowa, and yes, this is the first time I've ever cleaned fresh corn on the cob.Anyways, after you cleak the corn, you have to leave some of the husks on. Then, you soak them in 
water for 15-20 minutes. You then have to tie the husks together at the open end, and then you can simply place the corn on the grill. You rotate it until it's charred all around. Here I am at the grill!!! Although, I must admit, Josh really did the grilling...the only time I was at the grill was for this picture. :-) (P.S. Isn't it sad I'm wearing a sweatshirt in May!!!)

s, Josh had wanted to go an actual local meat market, So, we did and he bought New York Strips. We simply let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then I pierced them all over with a fork, then Josh seasoned them. I don't really like steak. It's always just seems like a huge hunk of meat...which is it, but for tonight, I simply ate a small portion off of each of their steaks. I also baked some potatoes, but I guess I forgot to take a picture.

It was pretty crunchy, and I think that we should have kept on a few more husks to seal in more of the moisture and grilled it for a bit longer.
And, here is the conversation between Josh and my Dad after Josh tried it.
Dad: "So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how was it."
Josh: "Ummm, probably a 3."
And that, pretty much sums up the corn.

I'm with you on steak. I'm not very inclined to eat it.
I've done corn where I wrap it in foil and then stick it on the grill. It tends to get a little softer that way. I've never had a ton of luck with it either. I think it's one of those things that I'll stick to having at the farmer's market or fairs or something.
Hope you get something tasty for your birthday today!
I think you should make Josh do the cooking and then you can rate him.
LOL. Josh's comment is classic. :)
I like the photo of you in the middle!
I never had much luck with grilling raw corn. But it grills much better when you par-boil it beforehand... just a couple minutes. Then when you grill, you get the juicy kernels and the yummy grill marks.
I'm so glad you shared this. I've always been curious if grilled is better or easier. Keep me posted if you find the trick that does it!
Corn on the cob already?
Really looking forward to the grill season myself and need to pick up some corn now... I haven't done it on the grill myself but it is my parent's favorite way to prepare it. You may want to try a little bit of sugar in your water next time.
