Yes, but what about when they just want to do a little astronomy?

Then you have some clever bears.

I don't want to waste the peas! I'd use frozen corn.

Medicinal peas are the best, but I sometimes use corn for the very same reason. That way there's no confusion about whether it should be used medicinally. Frozen corn? Blech. Only purpose is medicinal.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha. Somebody needs to drabble the medicinal peas for the comfort food topic in Great Write Way.

I think this is why I don't have medicinal peas; I don't think frozen peas are yummy. I would rather eat the corn.

Canned corn, Liese. Not medicinal, but the only food that's better canned than frozen. IJS.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I dunno. I don't mind frozen corn. I evidently have no taste.

It's not the taste that's the problem, it's the texture. Canned corn is crisp. Frozen corn is chewy, and that just doesn't feel right to me.

pop tarts: My cousins eat frozen corn on the cob, but they were born and raised in Alaska and know not the wonders of real, fresh corn on the cob. Poor cousins.

Mmm. I miss corn on the cob. Good thing I'm headed to the midwest for the summer, huh?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had corn on the cob for lunch. AIFG!

Jealous now.

Alas. It's gorgeous here, and we have great (but tiny) berries later on, but land of fresh veggies it is not.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I basically buy one bag of frozen peas that give up being yummy peas for the good of bruisekind. The rest of the peas get to be yummy, medicinal peas get to be a different kind of comfort food.

How often do you damage yourself anyway?

I need to declare: John Hodgman on The Daily Show last night was comic genius! Eustace Dismal! Morlocks and Citizens! The Dismal Paradox! plus Kid Dy-no-Mite.

We love him at Chez Zmayhem.
