Simple Corn On The Cob; Roasted In Husk

We have all heard the stories of those who sat on the porch shucking corn with their Grandmother on warm summer evenings long ago. You may even be the storyteller.

I have a similar story and I have a short cut for Simple Corn on the Cob Roasted in Husk. 

My story is similar in the sense that there was a porch and I was shucking.

My childhood was spent in a small town surrounded by farms. Our seasons were defined by the fruits and vegetables in season; most of which we looked forward to. 


 
Every year I especially looked forward to the harvest of Corn. However, I did not look forward to sitting on the front porch in a metal lawn chair with a garbage bag between my legs and a pot of water on the ground next to me.

Peeling every husk and removing every slippery strand of silk was a tedious chore that I begged not to do, yet I was the shucker in my family and my begging only delayed the finish line and dinner time.
