memorial day weekend at mom & dad's: dinner day 2

From top to bottom: Corn on the grill, steaming inside their jackets; husks tied back so the kernels can char. The husks provide a handle for trimming the kernels off later; finished corn and tomato salad; yogurt marinated grilled chicken with grilled romaine lettuce; the strawberry chiffon cake - what remained.

Prior to heading out to Connecticut, mom and I talked about how TASTY the June 2012 cover image of Martha Stewart Living looked: A light and fluffy chiffon cake with layers of whipped cream and strawberries. Yum! She loves strawberry shortcake so I offered to make it over the weekend. Well, I ended up making the entire meal too! Mom didn't have a large enough tube pan so we split the batter into two separate pans.
