What some good corn on the cob recipes?

I’m looking for something different from the original corn on the cob with salt and pepper with a little butter. I attending a Fourth of July party and I wanted to bring some corn on the cob.
the only catch is that the cob should be without husk

Cook it on the grill in the husk, I like it with Butter and Lemon Pepper………… I get this at the state fair.

does anyone have a really good recipe for a carving on a watermelon for fourth of July?

Use a stencil or make your own and then just use a sharp paring knife scrape off the outer layer of skin so it will show up well, or you can hollow out the melon and place a candle inside like with a jack o’lantern…. You can make some really beautiful designs, or could do it like a flag, or fireworks, or whatever you like. You can also do a search for pumpkin/ fruit carving and find some really great templates online that you can print off.

Any ideas for a Fourth of July Party?

I’m throwing a Fourth of July party, and i want it to have a theme that’s not only patriotic. i mean, that too, but i want it to be more than just that. So its more original and people won’t forget it. Any ideas?

How about a snowy shaved ice party, with a variety of flavors. The theme could be “snow in July” or something. Cute video of ideas about that here;

what is one symbol to the fourth of july and why is it important?

one thing that symbolizes the fourth of july, so it has to be something physical you can touch. i already have fireworks and the american flag.
