Labor Day lament

September 1st, 2008

It’s Labor Day weekend. For some people, it’s an extra long, three-day weekend. To many, Labor Day signifies the end of summer. Around here, it’s just the beginning of another work week. Me and Jen both have to work. All three days. We did have a bit of a cookout on Friday, though. It was just the two of us, and we enjoyed some sausages and corn cooked on the grill:

The food was great. I hadn’t ever cooked corn on the grill before, and wasn’t sure how it’d turn out. But it was awesome.

The rest of the Labor Day weekend? Meh. I had my mind set on typing a long post about disillusionment, political bullshittery and the overall fucked-up nature of these modern times. But I’ve got to get to sleep soon so I can get enough rest to go to work later.

Hope your Labor Day weekend has been good so far. That is, if you’ve been lucky enough to have a weekend at all.

    Didn’t see these photos on Flickr. The corn and sausage look great. I’ve been wanting to write some political crap, too. I’m just lazy. That’s my problem. LOL. Hope you’re having a good week.

    I find if you wrap the corn in aluminum foil, they turn out great. If you can put the hood down on your barbeque, cook the corn for about 20-30mins with the hood down. My “barbie” has a thermometer in the hood, so when it’s up to the right temp, I pop in the corn already wrapped in foil and let them cook!

    Interesting technique, Tim. Do you leave the cobs in the husks and them wrap them in foil? Guess that’d be kinda redundant, huh? This method of barbecuing them in the husks (after soaking them in water) works quite well. I warmed up the grill, cooked the cobs for about 10 minutes and then set them on the warming rack while I grilled the sausages (always closing the grill lid between turns). So they were actually “cooking” for about 15-20 minutes total.

    I take most of the husk off before wrapping them in foil. I find the foil helps transfer the heat really well. Corn on the cob on the BBQ FTW!
