I grill my corn the same way with the exception that I soak the ears for
about 30 minutes before putting them on the grill. I also remove the
silk first but some like to let it burn off. The corn always comes out
so juicy. Everyone loves it. -G

I get the corn directly from a neighbour's fruit and vegetable stand and
usually get only one or two cobs. They are fresh enough to go directly on the
grill without soaking.

I've discovered a delicious, easy way to prepare corn.

approximately 10 oz. of fresh corn (cut from the cob) or frozen
2-3 jalapenos, diced (if you don't like heat, be sure to remove all seeds
and white membrane)
1 red bell pepper (mostly for color), chopped
8 oz. cream cheese, cut into chunks

Place cheese, jalapenos and pepper in a double boiler and begin to heat. If
using frozen corn, cook for 2-3 minutes in microwave, drain thoroughly and
add to cheese mixture. If using fresh corn, just dump in with the cheese
mixture. NOTE: I've tried making this w/o the double boiler, and it either
takes forever, or the cheese burns.

Heat until cream cheese is melted. Serve hot.
