The one ear of corn that I harvested in the backyard, I just ate raw right there whenI peeled back the husk to make sure it was ripe. Pretty delicious, if tiny.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, super fresh corn is excellent raw.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I had a rockin' edible landscape for 4 or 5 years at my old house. Unfortunately I never tried growing corn because I tend to do better on a low glycemic diet. Not that I was good and staying on that diet all the time, but planting something off the diet is admitting ahead of time you'll cheat. Heh.

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.
My dad never went to pick the corn until my mother had started boiling the water. Sadly, he only did the picking and we were the ones that had to shuck it.

That's the beauty of roasting, you don't shuck it 'til you eat it. That's my system, anyway.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just discovered Overheard in the Newsroom. If I have any deadlines today, they are screwed. Oh, I actually miss newsrooms some days. And today is one. I've burst out laughing more than a few times.

How's your mom doing, Matt?
A little bit better every day, with sleep and appetite improving. I'm letting her set her own pace as far as activity goes, since she feels better at the end of the day after mild exercise and exertion. But I imagine I'll be staying with the folks through next week to make sure she's strong enough before letting her do stuff like get my dad in and out of bed on her own.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My son is currently singing at the top of his lungs (to the tune of the Super Why theme song) "HE'S GOT THE POWER, THE POWER TO POOP! HE POOPS INTO POOPS FOR THE POOPS THAT WE POOP, SUPER POOP!" and so on.
I am so looking forward to spending 20 hours in a car with this child. For realsies.

I am beat. It was soooo hot all day for the garage sale. We had a fan and sat on the porch for much of it, but still just sodden and nasty with rolling sweat. UGH.
Not a lot of traffic, but I made almost $50 today. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring more people; we had rain at 8 this morning, so I think that may have kept some of the early birds away.
If I don't sell the TV, DVD and CD player with an iPod dock, I think I will Craigslist them, see what I can get.
