Summer's a time for heat, be it the heat that drives you to air-conditioning or the beach, or heat that makes food so tasty. The latter is at work here, a creamy jalapeño topping that cools and heats at the same time. And what brings the former out like corn on the cob, the food made for the long summer days? Both the ears of corn and fresh zucchini are grilled, adding yet another July touch to this meal. If you can't beat the heat, you might as well join it.
