Now that we've parched some corn, how do we prepare it for eating?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejrQlhH9RyQ 0 -
Hi! I am about to fall asleep, so I'll watch the parched corn and other video's tomorrow with breakfast!
Didn't do much today...I did however, go to the gym for my walk.
Breakfast was a banana...lunch vegetable salad with lentils for protein, dinner another veg. salad and 2 ears of corn. Thinking of some apple slices, but may save the apple for tomorrow. I read, and wondered about the bacon, peanut butter, etc sandwiches??? What ever happened to good old PB&J? LOL!!
Chili looked delicious...
No rain at my house today!!!! After a week of rain, and over 5 inches of it in my rain gauge, today's dry, sunny sky was a very nice change. It just does not rain here in late July and all of August...so this has been amazing!
Later...

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 70 with an expected high of 83 and 30% chance of precipitation. Looks like, as the rain leaves, the higher temperatures are returning. Oh well, it was nice to have a few cooler days.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and put that folded laundry away (hah!) and perhaps get out to the grocery store.
Yesterday was not that great looking, We hit intermittent rain going to and returning from the Chinese Buffet so I'm calling the chance of rain at 100% Yesterday and today
I am not seeing any cooler days in the 7 day weather forecast, Overnight lows in the 70s and highs in the 90s with rain in the majority of days.
It does sound like Ends, I have been known to buy the discounted ends from the ShopRite and use them myself. Is that price of a bit over $3 a pound a good price ?
Dinner last night was a bow of my ham and beans, with a small slice of cornbread. The ham "chips" were not dried, though that would probably have worked out too. They were just small bits and, probably, end pieces from the country ham. I have eaten these just warmed up with breakfast before, but they are really small bits and pieces, some pieces with quite a bit of very chewy fat still attached. They are best used for seasoning, and can then be eaten with the beans. The price of $1.00 for 5 ounces pretty well matched the best deal I've seen at Dollar Tree (3 ounces of biscuit slices OR 5 ounces of "less pretty" slices that are really about the same as the "chips" but perhaps somewhat larger slices) so I had purchased a couple of packs on that (weeks ago) shopping trip when I saw them at Ingles. They keep in the cabinet for a long time and are handy (and work out really well) for a pot of beans when I don't have a ham hock or ham bone on hand. I just have to remember that there is PLENTY of salt in the country ham and I don't even need to think about adding any salt (or anything else salty) to the dish. I could also use them for bits of breakfast country ham but, once opened, they need to be refrigerated and then used up fairly quickly. I don't really tend to use ham to season a lot of foods, being married to a vegetarian, and suppose I probably should be turning in my SOUTHERN card because of that, especially since I don't put any meat at all in my baked beans. LOL.I am curious, did You buy a ready to eat version or the country ham or the dried type ?
I'm guessing the dried type since You mention Country Ham Chips
If I had room I would store them in the refrigerator or freezer just to extend the freshness and use by date.
FWIW I have taken Ground Beef fried loose and used it with Sloppy Joe Mix, or Pre treated it after cooking with some Ketchup and Relish so that I can Pull some out of the refrigerator, heat and put between two slices of bread. Less often with Kidney Beans and Chili Powder, That makes a one bowl Protein and starch meal and of course topped with shredded CheddarEduardo (Edweirdo?) did intervene somewhat with lunchtime cooking. I had 1.25 pounds of 93% lean ground beef. My plan had been to make it all into chili, but Edweirdo, after watching Emmy's video, had to take about a quarter pound to make a lunch burger, served on buttered, toasted, thin sliced sourdough bread, with crunchy peanut butter on top of the burger. It was quite good, actually. I had never tried peanut butter on a burger.
Then, after eating lunch, I browned the remaining pound of the ground beef, with some onion, jalapeño, and bell pepper, and added a can of chili beans, and a large spoonful of tomato powder, along with about 2/3 cup of water, a little garlic powder, some additional ground red chili pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. This cooked up to a nice pan of chili that I just tasted the sauce on, at the time, and then put away for the flavors to mingle and combine, not actually EATING any of the chili until this morning for breakfast.
Thursday I took and scrambled an egg and after pulling it sprinkled some Shredded Cheddar on it a touch of salt and useful as is or in a sandwich.
The Best Made PlansDelicious! I had it with some cheese stirred in and a handful of crumbled Frito chips. I will definitely be enjoying the
alternation between the two cooked up dishes I have in the fridge and shouldn't have to cook much for myself over the weekend.
Speaking of the weekend, I thought we had a weekend with NO PLANS and was looking forward to that, but then J informed me that we had been invited (and invitation accepted) to a birthday party by the owners of the usual pool party house, for one of the owners. Oh well, there goes the NO PLANS weekend.
The good news is that we don't need to bring anything but ourselves. This won't be a big pool party like the usual ones, but a smaller birthday party and I am not expected to help out in any way, just attend and enjoy myself. I like that idea! I think I might bring along a bathing suit and towel, in case it turns into a birthday/pool party. And, of course, perhaps a bottle of wine as a host/hostess gift.
Need to feed the cats and think about putting that laundry away.
I have some dried Sweet Corn that we grew last year that I take and Parch, My version is a cast iron skillet and frying the Sweet Corn in a bit of Butter until nice and crunchy then salt to taste. Fry with a lid on to prevent splatters and some of the Corn Pops too.parityanimal wrote: »Now that we've parched some corn, how do we prepare it for eating?

PB&J Yummy, PB and sliced Banana sandwiches too. Call me a traditionalist I like Grape Jelly for the J part and Crunchy Peanut Butter.
I do like Candied Bacon, It just doesn't like my waistline
The Forecast that Sunday and Monday would be the days to Mow the lawn is not that good to me. It will still be in the 90s and lows in the 70s. The only reason for saying is that it will not be raining.
Have a Good Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 74 with an expected high of 87 and 40% chance of rain.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls. Folded laundry still not put away. LOL.

Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and still not comfortable walking due to humidity.
I am undecided whether to mow the lawn today or tomorrow or split the mowing between the days.

Howdy all y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 71 with an expected high of 89 and 30% chance of precipitation.
I have NEW laundry to fold and put away. The old laundry is no longer in there. Also need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats.
I finished off the last of my leftovers for breakfast, so may have to actually cook something for myself tonight. I'm sure I can figure something out...

Good Afternoon!
I'm here! Ted came out this morning and cut the grass, and edged the driveway, and used the weed whacker! Don't know what got into him. Usually he just runs the mower for me....Yard looks fantastic!
We chatted after that...important discussions, like how accurate Fitbit is, how to 'cheat' it counting steps, and why it won't work with my phone...followed by what new phone I need (none, just thinking...phone works fine), His recollection of how he got the truck...I had to laugh, took me a while to convince him it was MY truck when I moved to the house and needed a truck ...and I did NOT specifically buy it for him...etc, etc,. Took us awhile to iron out those 'facts'...LOL!!!
I went to the kitchen after he left and made chickpea sandwich mix. Will have some for dinner, and tomorrow. Put it in the refrigerator to 'meld' the flavors...then I made for my late lunch a tofu scramble, which I just finished eating. There will be some of that for tomorrow also. So, I don't see cooking in my future til maybe Tues!! I'd have eaten the BBQ Jackfruit, but have no buns...its shelf life is still a year out, so I have some time!!
I need to take the time to watch the video's...and that pix Roger of the kid face planting on the asphalt....he'll be picking bits of asphalt out of his face and the sleeveless arm for months/years. Hurts to just think about it. Lots of value in long sleeves, and helmets.
Spots I cleaned on the living room run look good today.
Marietta finally made it to Texas...She is happy as a lark...Hope she continues to love Galveston for a very long time!! I can't imagine...those hurricanes that come up the gulf will bump right into her. That alone would make me crazy.
Ok, I'm outta here til tomorrow
Later...

If Marietta needs a lawn guy/landscaper, she could try contacting D.F. Robinson Landscape Maintenance. Yes, I have friends in Galveston...

Hey Ed...M's husband found a love for plants and shrubs, and lawn some years back. M, not at all. I think she begrudged Doug the time he spent in the yard. Yard looked great BTW! But I'll make note of your friend, and share with her if needed. Thanks.
Just home from the gym, started the dishwasher, and will eat my chickpea salad sandwich in a minute....
But first...I watched the video's...That Emmy!!! I saw the one on peanut butter and mayo...(sounds disgusting), and the one with peanut butter and pickles, (who's pg?) and why did you say that wasn't vegan? Do you know something I don't? I don't have bread and butter pickles, but I read the sweet pickles, and the dill pickles and they were both vegan????? Ok, that leaves the onion and pb. Once again, sounds really yuck...and was delicious!! I didn't have a sweet onion, but used what I had...yellow onion...if you like onion that is great. I doubt I'll try the mayo and pb, as that is just an awful lot of fat...Maybe if I continue losing I'll make that one day when I have nothing in the house to eat!! Happens sometimes..
Ok, now, I am going to make my chickpea sandwich. Open face with a big red lettuce leaf for the 2nd piece of bread...as the pb and now the chickpea sandwich have used my last 3 slices of bread. I see a trip to Costco tomorrow!
Roger you really should try some of those Emmy foods. The pb series really are good! I was amazed.
See you later...0 -

Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 78 degrees and uncomfortable walking due to humidity.
Last night at 10PM it was still 87 degrees and the temperature never dropped that much IMO.
I decided to mow the lawn Sunday, was out the door to mow at 8AM and ended up soaked with sweat.

Hopefully that knee surgery works out as well as it did for Mom when she had both knees replaced.

My Brother brought some large Green Onions from Pennsylvania that are this years crop, he claims that the are nice and sweet and make a Onion Sandwich that is delicious.
PB & Mayo, I'm with You, Yuck.
I have enough bread to last until My brother makes his midweek grocery run.
I can not think of any reason pickles would not be vegan, Weird, I suspect something else used in the sandwich.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 75 with an expected high of 92 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Today is the first day of school so that alters the traffic patterns for a while.
The laundry room has NO LAUNDRY IN IT. After finishing the washing and drying yesterday, everything is folded and put away. I'm actually all caught up on laundry for a change.
J is safely in Kentucky at his sister's house.
I need to feed the cats and clean yesterday's cat bowls and get that pot roast into the slow cooker by 10:00 to 10:30 or so, along with some carrots, potato(es) and an onion. I generally don't put celery in with mine as I can take it or leave it, but would just as soon leave it, and usually don't have any on hand anyway. If I did have any on hand, I'd probably put it in just to use it up.
Lilo is getting antsy so it must be about time to feed the cats. At 15+ she's definitely the queen of the household.
