I do too. I got a new Char-Grilled grill for father's day and love it! I have been a weber man for years but the increased cooking space on this new one is superb! It also has a firebox attachment that I can buy to be able to smoke some awesome meats. Looking forward to some slowcooked ribs in my

My wife and I are going organic with some veggies for this summer. I love growing my own veggies. As far as grilling, we grill all year round. To me some meats like steak and chicken as well as ribs don't taste good unless its grilled. Sent from my iPhone 4S. On Jun 20, 2013, at 6:00 AM,

It gets no better than fresh corn on the cob. Here in the midwest, we've had a bit of a flood which has delayed much of the corn crop. Lately things have finally started to warm up and the corn should start shooting up soon...but they say it's going to be delayed by a few weeks. I can't wait.

I miss midwestern corn... The corn--the quotes mean that it's only technically corn; the color and shape are right, but no flavor--here in western Washington is essentially good for about a week out of the year... some years there's not a good corn week... Did I mention that I miss midwestern

Farmstand and farmhouse literally a half mile from my house that sold corn fresh out of the field got taken over by eminent domain for a highway project this year. I'm *really* going to miss that. Like $3.00 for 6 huge ears. On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 12:03 PM, William Bowen

I drive about 10 mintues from my house each year to a pair of brothers who park their pickup truck in a parking lot. They pick the corn that morning and load up their truck. They give you a baker's dozen for $5. Like a sore peter...you just can't beat it. On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 12:11 PM, Ray

WE have a great farmers market on Thursdays and Saturdays. There's one farmer there whose farm I pass on my way to work. Wonderful stuff. I prefer roasting it on the grill - amazingly addictive. Its a wonderful side with steak on the grill with vegetable kabobs and basmati rice. On Thu, Jun 20,

we had corn on the cob with dinner tonight. I love corn on the cob. My guess is it is from FLA or GA. Can't wait for the local corn to come in. In my opinion, Jersey has the best corn, but the farmers around here come in a very, very close second. -- Scott Stroz --- You can
