Turn ordinary corn into an extraordinary supper with prosciutto.

 By Sue Lau, A Palatable Pastime

2 ears fresh in husk corn
 2-4 slices shaved prosciutto
 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
 1-2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
 salt and black pepper
 butter
kitchen twine

1. Place corn in the microwave and run on high for 5 minutes.

2. Peel off the outermost husk leaves (the ones with the dry dark tips) leaving the other leaves intact. Gently pull those leaves back (they should be soft and steamy from the microwaving), and remove the silks.

3. Rub some butter over the corn, sprinkle with seasonings, then wrap 1-2 thin shaved pieces of prosciutto around the corn.

4. Pull the husk leaves up around the corn again, and tie in the middle and towards the tip with a piece of water-soaked kitchen twine.

5. Grill 10-15 minutes until done, moving corn away from the heat if the husks begin to burn.

6. Serve with hot butter.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
