Foodies Unite #9 (trigger warning food) WHAT THE FOCACCIA?! THIS BUTTER BE IMPORTANT

In my internet research this morning I learned something new. Field corn is also known as “dent” corn because of the dent in the kernel as it dries. New to me!

Corn education first thing on a Monday is priceless. Thank you. No sarcasm here I learned something. :corn:

You’re welcome! :laughing: I also learned recently, thanks to my favorite public radio, that corn sweats. And it contributes significantly to humidity in the Midwest USA. That’s how it survives droughts, it literally lets off gallons and gallons of moisture every day so it doesn’t burn in the sun. So when you see a corn field that looks totally dried out it has done its job to protect that corn. And to make my life miserable. :weary:

I think I put too many ingredients into my soup and it more like a stew than a soups but it tastes good :blush: anyway I put chicken, carrots, potatoes, leaks, celery, onions and chilli :hot_pepper: in

That loin is only about 3x2 inches. I need to get some more maybe. I think the texture is a thing based on all the pigs I raised in my life. Using a butter knife I flung the potato to the dog-hair carpet. Perhaps I waited a wee too long to eat.

It is a lecture I am having with myself each day, all day. I did have major disorders in the past - this is not that, as you know. It’s more of taste and smell. It’s really pissing me off. That said, not eating actually takes tidbits that come back away. I mean, what’s a year? Ha!

Back at ya, comfy to see you eat, too, Amiga. Te amo!

@RosaCanDo thanks for the corn info. Had no idea about popcorn or the humidity or the dent ……

I eat most of the corn I eat raw off the cob. It’s tender and tasty. Or sauté it in olive oil w jalapeño for just a minute or two.

@M-be-free49 thanks for the recipe. I would have to lock them in a safe that would ration one a day. Look scrumptious :white_check_mark:
Enjoy all of you who can moderate on them!

I grew up NOT eating French fries and now as an ( older) adult want fried potatoes and wouldn’t have them any other way than with mayonnaise.
