A few weeks ago, some friends and I put together an impromptu cookout on a friend's back patio. We spent an hour gathering ingredients at the Italian Market and ended up with chicken, beef, shrimp, a bunch of grill-able veggies and ten ears of corn. The corn went on the grill last, husks and all. While they cooked, I ran into the kitchen and pulled together a lime flavored butter to melt down over the corn. Though we were totally stuffed by the time we got to the corn, it didn't stop us from devouring it, dripping lime butter and all.
Better Homes and Gardens has a tasty-looking slide show up right now of 10 different ways to flavor your corn on the cob, that had I seen it before that weekend cook out, would have made me question my choice of lime butter, just because there are so many other good options. I'm especially tempted by the fresh sage, rosemary and butter combination.
