Me vs. cookery

[caffienekitty]

I have this uncanny ability to include explosions in any cooking-related activity. Today, corn-on-the-cob. While it was rawSee, I peeled the damn things, remembering afterward why it was always only ever done outside when I was growing up; bits of husk and silk everywhere. Then I tried fitting a cob in the pot, and it was too big. "No problem," I

Fraternal icon twin! LOL

The idea that the exploding corn made it into two different rooms makes me giggly. :D

Admittedly it's a rather open kitchen plan and very small, so it's not like the corn had to penetrate walls. :-)

I can think of many more useful unique skills I'd prefer to have over the ability to achieve wide-ranging random corn fragment distribution wih my bare hands.

Uhm... this time I have to admit that I too tend to break the too-long corns with my hands. It is kinda messy, right, but I have no clue how you managed to get the kernels to fligh THAT wide.
Perhaps you should start doing this in front of an audience and charge a few dollars. You seem to have quite a talent for action/adventure-cooking XD

[caffienekitty]

I have no idea either. Maybe I had the wrong angle or something.

Next time, try stuffing the corn that you are about to explode inside a pillow-coating (what is it really called in english?) or laundry-bag :)

pillow-coating (what is it really called in english?

Pillowcase, I believe? That's a good idea, and a grocery bag would work too, I'll have to do that when I cook the rest up. :-)

Ha! Just last week, I managed to make freshly-picked corn-on-the-cob from a friend's garden completely inedible (I ate it anyway, feeling guilty and wasteful otherwise). I thought 'hey, haven't had roasted corn in a long time! And this is so fresh! I'll just put it directly on the grill, and it will be just like a BBQ!'

Hint: it wasn't.

Oh dear.

Good lord women, JUST GET A BLOODY PIZZA!!

[caffienekitty]

If I could afford pizza, I would. This week I got a DVD instead, which at least lasts longer. :-D
