During the summer, we always spend a day at the fair eating the food and trying out the rides (which terrifies me knowing they can put them up and take them down in a matter of hours!). One of my favorite things to eat at the fair is grilled corn on the cob. It has such a nice, smoky flavor to it that I think is utterly divine! I thought it would be so easy to make at home, and boy was I right! Now I won’t have to spend my summer on rickety thrill rides just to get a nice grilled corn on the cob. 🙂
