Laura: How to take corn and make it unhealthy, plus a chicken sandwich

I finally had enough energy to make dinner tonight. I've been avoiding it like Twilight. Since it was so hot (around 91 today....ughhh) I decided to use the oven. Great plan, right? I found a recipe for elote corn (corn with butter, lime, and cojita cheese) but decided to prepare it with an Italian flair. I preheated the oven and roasted the corn w/ husks for 25 minutes. After it was done in there I burnt my fingers peeling off the husks and then the goodness began. I slathered a butter and mayo mixture all up on that innocent little corn and then sprinkled a parmesan/ lemon pepper mixture on top. SUCCESS! The heat from the corn made the cheese melt & crust. It was superb.




By the way, the corn on the cob was just a side dish. I made chicken lime sandwiches using Trader Joe's frozen chicken lime patties. Seriously, if you've never tried these you need to. My boyfriend and I are crazy for them. I cooked the patties through and then grilled them in between sourdough bread  and Muenster cheese . It was a pretty good, down home Sunday night dinner.
