An alternative to lighting up the grill

I love grilled corn.
and corn at Ralphs was on sale! 5 for $1! Woohoo.

However, lighting the grill is such a pain.
Especially when it's 8pm on a week night and you don't plan on throwing a huge BBQ party any time soon.

So my sister told me, that an alternative to grilling corn on a BBQ grill, is to throw it into the oven instead.
But they would come more more steamed, rather than grilled.

That's fine with me, corn is corn. It's always good!

I didn't know how long to bake these ears of corn, and for how long.
But somehow, in the end, they came out so good!
Mm.
I brought in one of the ears of corn into work as my lunch, and it filled me up good!
I was full and happy at work

I had Jeff do those top 4 steps!
He did a fabulous job!

Cooking:

I like my corn plain. They are naturally sweet and juicy. No butter needed.

I made Asian steamed fish for Jeff last night, because I know he really likes Asian steamed fish, and he never gets any. poor thing.

but darn.....
Everytime I make food, I always forget to take a picture before I CHOW DOWN.
So sorry guys. No picture of the actual fish I made last time.
It's all in my tummy now.

But it was good! I can guarantee that.
