Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
Tomorrow I am going to the emissions inspection station and hoping they've got power so I can get my car inspected. (Deadline is August 4th, which is when we leave for Raleigh) I should also pick up something to wrap Gary's anniversary gift in.
Sunday we have ticket to the Nationals' game. Alas, we will not get to see Strassburg pitch(he's on the disabled list), but it's still a game. Then, dinner somewhere.
How's your mom doing, Matt?
Yay, Allyson!
I am growing ever more convinced of my theory that corn goes downhill really fast after picking it. Last week, I waited until Saturday to eat the corn from Friday's pickup, and it was just OK. I just had one from today, and it was AWESOME. Like two weeks ago's Friday night corn. Mmmm.
That is not so much a theory as a true fact, Jesse.
Eta: I'm experimenting with the notion that if you cook corn immediately it keeps better. Good results so far from roasting all the ears that came last last week.
When I was a kid and we picked corn, we always cooked it all that same day. We froze most, and ate the rest.
I wasn't sure it was a fact, but I have believed it for years! This is why I won't eat supermarket corn. I'm just glad to have data. I think I need to eat tonight's second ear now.
I guess if you don't know a fact is a fact it is a theory. Mmm, epistemology.
Corn and peas start converting their sugar to starch as soon as they're picked.
Jesse, you're growing corn at home? That's cool. I thought you were living in Manhattan or somewhere similarly scarce on backyard space.
Heh. I am now living in Boston, and my corn came from a CSA.
