SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

CARIBBEAN SPICED CORN-ON-THE-COB
A spicy summer time treat that adds a different approach to your average corn on the cob. I found this recipe in "Woman's World" Magazine with a little of my own changes, and use it almost every time I make corn. Very adjustable, quick & easy to make. Great for picnics or BBQ's, and gives you that "your-on-vacation" feeling. If you know someone who doesn't like corn-on-the-cob, this just might make a believer out of them. Enjoy! =^_^= P.S. This is even good drizzled over microwaved frozen or canned corn if you don't have time to cook cobs.

Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, or kernels that are loose or shriveled.
- Prepare the corn properly: Remove the husks and silks from the corn, but leave about an inch of the husk at the top to help keep the corn moist during cooking.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to flavor your corn on the cob. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the corn over medium heat: This will help to prevent the corn from burning or drying out.
- Serve the corn immediately: Corn on the cob is best enjoyed fresh off the grill or out of the pot.
