Last night I roasted corn on the grill. Pulled the husks back far
enough to remove most of the silk, then folded the husks back into place
and soaked in water. Turned the grill on high and placed the corn
directly on the grill. Turned them every now and then for about 20
minutes.

They came out pretty good, but next time I'll remove some of the husks
so I get more "color" on the corn itself.
