For dinner: Fresh-picked, homegrown sweet corn, coated with chili-lime butter.→[More:]
Braggart! My thumb is green with envy. Ourcorn has just started producing one tiny ear.Thr matos hav flowers but no fruit yet.
FYi, my typing is hampered by th puking baby with the 104 degree fever sitting on my lap.
I actually did catch fish, jrossi. And I felt really bad about it. They were little ones, and they would have needed to be thrown back anyway, but I felt guilty. I mean, all they were trying to do was fucking eat, you know? Then -- bam! -- hook in cheek.
Yeah, I felt bad about it.
Yes please. You can deliver it here, I'll be up. Thank you.
Don't feel bad pups. Those fish were probably assholes. After you let them go they just went right badk to making sexist comments about the guppies. "I would totally tap that piece of tail...but that fat one I wouldn't even touch with Nemo's "lucky" fin.
Take a stick of butter. Let it soften. Throw in about a teaspoon and a half of good chili powder. Add the juice of half a lime. Mash it all up real good with a fork.
Put it in saran wrap, roll it into a log, store in the fridge for weeks.
Do you know what's a bummer? That I not only made this corn the above way, and it was delicious, but then had some of the butter saved over and put it on steamed baby potatoes the next night, and it was equally yummy. But I never came back in to report about it and say what a good idea it was.
