Blue Moon Grilled Dinner

A late-summer grilled dinner with roasted rosemary potatoes, lemon-buttered grilled chicken breast and grilled corn on the comb. The second-full moon in a month is called a blue moon, however on this night, Friday, August 31, the moon was harvest moon-colored.



I paired this bistro-inspired meal with a Heady Topper, (an 8% abv double-hopped IPA) and served it for a private party of four. The "native" butter and sugar corn, purchased from a neighboring farmstand, was first soaked in water for twenty minutes, then brushed with  lemon-herb flavored melted butter, re-wrapped in its husk, wrapped in foil and grilled until done.
