It's so lovely and peaceful tonight.

The sound of silence...

In, too.

It's been too long since I told the world I LOVE PAPA. I mean, who else calls people s**t weasels with so much love?

Thank goodness the corn train's finally come in!

I would kill for some fresh corn on the cob. I clicked. I shall click no more.

You know what goes well with corn? Crawfish.

[StockardFan]

Or steamed spiced shrimp

...or Maryland crabs.

So, speaking of 'going blue', has anyone ever tried blue corn? Sweeter? Tougher kernals?

In some cultures corn fungus is considered a delicacy.

YUM!

I find blue corn a little tougher, yes, but not sweeter, bluemoon. I also love crab, but no disrespect to Maryland, I like NY's blue crab just fine - so much so that I'm having the softshell I caught last night for breakfast.

No corn, though. Instead, fresh mozzarella with basil and tomato from the garden.

JAG, that is just gag-worthy.

Are you in yet?

[tazber]

Posted: 8/19/10 at 9:18am

But of course!

[Roscoe]

Posted: 8/19/10 at 9:19am

I guess it isn't good to be asked if you're in, is it?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/19/10 at 9:33am

I'm coming in!

[Roscoe]

Posted: 8/19/10 at 9:35am

She's coming in. You're here, like that. I'm going to jump.

I have no idea what anyone is talking about...but I trust you and want in.

Corn fungus (or huitlacoche) is DELICIOUS! It sort of tastes like a cross between corn and a mushroom- which is pretty much what it is. The Rick Bayless restaurants do huitlacoche tacos and enchiladas and they are drool worthy.

Huitlacoche can't possibly be delicious if it has a mushroomy taste. Also it looks like a smoker's lung. D: It's easily the most frightening-looking thing Steve has ever eaten, and that includes his own prison-style hooch.

I don't know what this is about either, but if Reggie's in then I don't wanna be out!

[Bluemoon]

I guess they list this delicasy as 'huitlacoche' because no one would ever order the roast salmon with a side of corn fungus.

They market the corn fungus as Quorn frozen vegetarian patties. I tried one when they first hit the store shelves and thought it was pretty good but then there was a smack war between veggie burger marketeers and the Quorn folks ("That stuff is FUNGUS!!!!").

Anyhoo, a friend recently bought Quorn's Gruyere Chik'N Cutlet. Fried it lightly in a pan and it was scrump. Absolutely scrump. (Yes, I'm trying to make "scrump" happen.)

Mushrooms are fungus. Lobsters are giant cockroaches. People pay extra for coffee that was pooped out by a weasel.

I was with you till the weasel part.

What?
