'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If corn is in season, chances are I'm going to be grilling. But I am also a fire snob as well as being a corn snob.
You're a fancy grill-haver, is what you are! I didn't even have a fire escape in my last apartment, so I guess I could have grilled on the sidewalk, but that's a little weird, even for me.
I know what the best corn is, and that it's not here and not in my kitchen ever (you have to pull off the road at Faith's Pen and buy it with yam and saltfish and fried fish, so I have no idea what you're talking about). I just don't feel that adequate corn is supposed to show that much rot that fast.
No, no it's not.
Isn't there a kind of mold or smut or something that grows on corn that is a delicacy in its own right? I forget what it's called, assuming it exists as a real thing outside my imagination.
Never mind - misread what the post was asking.
It is called corn smut. Which is an inherently funny name. [link]
I've decided to work out which fruit I like, for values of fruit that equal apple. So I'm doing a one by one test, organic, since that's closest to the truth, I figure.
I'm pretty much just a Granny Smith fan, although Galas are fine. If you can get them, Pink Ladies are lovely (and their flesh is pink!). And, of course, Macouns, which I have only ever had in New England in October: they are not shipped commercially. The McIntoshes I buy at Farmer Joe's don't taste like the ones I used to get as a child...
That is amazing! I am aware of huitlacoche, but had no idea that's what it is. Yikes.
Political quote of the day:
A new Public Policy Polling survey shows finds that 49% of Republican voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama, as compared to 52% that thought ACORN stole the 2008 election, "a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore."
Oh come on. Obama employs time travel to send ACORN agents from 2008 to 2012. The same way he traveled back to 1961 to plant his "birth announcement" in the Honolulu paper.
