My routine is different. I too clean the corn, then put enclose in a double-wrapped foil packet after first putting in a generous pat of butter and one ice cube. I then grill over charcoal while whatever meat I'm cooking is also grilling, turning the corn packet every few minutes. After removing from the grill, poke a few holes to let steam out, let stand 5 minutes and then remove from packet and serve.

I love the corn ideas. I grill mine with little husk / silk for a few untuned minutes, then let it sit on a plate before I remove the charred husk and silk as I can. Then I eat it. No butter or other seasoning. I’m sure it could taste better but I like it this way. I had 3 corn on the cob last Thursday night for supper.
polish sausage. It looked spicy on the inside which I love, but I expected it to look less red spice on the inside and maybe more bland brown; thus that sweet hot mustard. I would continue to buy evergood when on sale because I’m sure that I’d enjoy any sale sausage of any flavor.
my spouse prefers aidell chicken apple which is nicely priced at Costco.
in the future, I’ll probably stick to buying one 4/5-pack at a time and I’ll make it pork as opposed to eschewing pork as I’ve done before. I’ll stop buying salami for now and just stick with maybe one sausage pack a week max for myself. Obviously there are a lot of fun choices at any market and it’s all great on the grill!
tonight will probably be cheese pizza.

Grilling corn in its husk seems rather counterintuitive. For me, grilling corn is all about the flavor and perhaps smokiness of the grill. Pulling silk off a hot ear of corn doesnt sound fun, either. Butter and salt, too, otherwise its naked! And served hot or warm. No cold corn on the cob, por favor.

But I agree 100% that pulling the silk off the corn is annoying.

No char, but Mrs. cblaisd likes it this way (I'm not a fan of corn on the cob at all, so it matters not to me).

Turkey bacon has the texture and taste of cardboard. Beef bacon has never worked out in recipes. In my experience, lamb bacon is closest in appearance, taste and texture to pork bacon.

It sounds odd, but it works pretty well. I've tried without husks and with foil too. But I get the best flavor from grilling in the husk. Some people will tell you to soak the corn, husk on, in water for quite a while, which results in steaming, kind of like how a tamale is cooked. My preference is peel back the husk, remove the silk, pull the husks back up, then quickly run on water. It keeps the husks from burning away, but chars them. Gives the corn a light smokey, charred flavor, as its not completely sealed in. Then butter and salt, and maybe some garlic powder or whatever I feel like.
But I agree 100% that pulling the silk off the corn is annoying.

The best pork bacon I ever had was at the Park Hyatt Saigon. Thin and crispy!

Lots of places (including Costco) sell the corn already shucked and shrink wrapped. I prefer it in the husk and also not peeled back so I can just test the top kernels. The sugars in corn turn to starch very quickly after picked so I figure if it had time to get husked and wrapped it is not quite as fresh. I try to buy corn at the farmers market when possible. I don't know if all of this makes a huge difference but that's what I do. Of course it is much more convenient to buy already husked.
