Corn on the Cob

6-8 ears of corn, husked and silky stuff removed
2 Tbs sugar
2 Tbs white vinegar


Combine sugar and vinegar in a huge pot of water and bring to a boil.  Once it's boiling put the ears of corn in (carefully!) and try to submerge the corn.  Let the water come back to a boil then put a lid on the pot and remove from heat.  Let sit for ten minutes.

Beef Skewers

1+ lbs flank steak
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c honey
2 Tbs chili sauce


Slice steak in strips against the grain.  In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and chili sauce.  Pour over steak, stirring with your hands to make sure it is coated well.  Let meat marinate 20-30 minutes.

Using bamboo skewers that have been soaking in water, thread the skewers through the meat (similar to how you would sew).  Then grill until done.
