  1. What a great idea! I never thought to use roasted garlic on corn before. The roasting of the garlic mellowed so it did not overpower the flavor of the corn. The roasted garlic paired well with the charring on the corn so I suggest to stay with the non-foil cooking option. This is definitely a recipe I will make again. Thanks, yooper!
     
  2. Delish, I will be making this often.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
