How to grill corn...the right way.

2009-09-05T21:00:00.002-04:00

I'm going to show you how to grill corn with out the husk. That's right, none of that soaking or tin foil nonsense here. I guarantee it'll be the best corn you've ever had. Let's get started.

When selecting corn, the husks should be bright green and the silk golden brown and slightly sticky. Take a peek at the kernels, they should be medium sized and plump. No shriviling allowed.

The first thing you want to do is shuck the corn. Remove all of the husk and as much silk as you can. Leave any remaining stalk on the ear, it makes a nice handle.

Next, you will need a brush and some olive oil. Salt and pepper are optional, but highly recommended, I prefer kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. You can use what ever seasoning you like for your corn.

Preheat the grill to med to med-high. Gas or charcoal is fine. If you use charcoal do us all a favor and lose the starter fluid, use a chimney starter instead.

Brush the cobs with olive oil and place directly on the grill grate. Lightly season with salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings.

Turn the corn every 2-4 minutes, season lightly after doing so.

The corn should take approximately 15-20 minutes and be lightly browned.

You may add butter if you wish, but since it's already seasoned there is nothing left to do but enjoy.

Mmmmm...delicious. Every kernel pops in your mouth.

Goodbye old friend, may you get the care you deserve...

wow

2007-06-18T21:20:00.000-04:00

You'd think I was dead or something...

Oh what a feeling

2007-02-18T21:09:00.000-05:00

Thank you Kevin Harvick for the great finish and making me $95 less in the hole.

Happy New Year!

2007-02-18T11:36:00.000-05:00

I'm hungry...

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I took my Christmas lights down.
Now I hope you will too.

At least unplug them!

I'm tired

2007-01-20T00:00:00.000-05:00

I want a job in a nice warm and cozy office. Maybe, I'll start drinking coffee and hang around the water cooler chatting up all the office babes.

I guess I need to get over my irrational fear of paper writing and go back to school to get a degree in something or other. That's going to be tough considering my completely rational fear of real, living, breathing people.

Gov. Rick Perry is an idiot for asking Ted Nugent to play at his inaugural ball . It's not the first time the "Deadly Tedly" has opened his mouth and showed his stupidity and unfortunately it probably won't be the last.

Ted Nugent at the 2005 NRA Convention:

"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em! To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

Quick! Somebody name a Nugent song that isn't "Cat Scratch Fever".

I'm glad he moved to Texas so we no longer have to claim him.

Blingo comes through again

2007-01-14T17:09:00.000-05:00

I won a Fandango movie ticket on Blingo today. I was a bit disappointed to find out I no longer get a choice between Fandango and an iTunes gift cert. If I had my druthers, Id take the iTunes every time. But, I ~~can't~~ shouldn't complain, a prize is a prize right?

On a side note, they now give away a $1000 prize every Thursday.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-24T13:08:00.000-05:00

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

What is that thing?

2006-12-20T17:36:00.000-05:00

So I'm driving home from work today and out of the blue it occurs to me that this

is not a mole as I always thought it to be. It's a smurfing third smurfing nipple or maybe it is just a mole.

Blingo revistited

2006-12-13T18:31:00.000-05:00

I won another iTunes gift cert on Blingo. It's the first time I've won in the last six months and I was starting to think I'd never win again.

One lucky search between now and December 25 will win a Mustang or $20K. Merry Christmas indeed!

Will it be your search that wins? Not if you Don't search.

Peaches and Cream

2006-12-07T20:17:00.000-05:00

I ride my bike.
Movies I like.
Peaches and cream.
Of this I dream.

Ah... Nyquil, the stuff dreams are made of.

It's all too easy

2006-11-01T20:18:00.001-05:00

I just won another, yes another, $10 Amazon gift certificate from Searchchips. That's $30 in the last six weeks from Searchchips for doing nothing.

I suggest all you non-searchers start searching if you want to win.

Oops

Stupid slow loading, double posting dial-up.

Joke of the day

2006-11-01T19:52:00.000-05:00

Have you heard Mickey and Minnie Mouse are getting a divorce? While in court the Judge says "Mr. Mouse is says here you want a divorce because you wife is mental insane." Mickey says "No, I want a divorce because she's fucking Goofy."

You'd better get your eyes checked

2006-10-29T08:01:00.000-05:00

Search and win

2006-10-29T01:07:00.000-04:00

First it was Blingo, then along came Searchchips, and now we have Winzy. I haven't won any actually prizes on Winzy yet, but I expect to soon with your help.

Here, give it a try:

Fall Back

2006-10-28T21:53:00.000-04:00

For some it's an extra hour of drinking, for others it's extra sleep. But for me its another hour of lying in bed awake because my arm(s) is(are) alseep. Oh, joy oh, joy.

2006-10-13T09:52:00.000-04:00

I survived the move, so yes, I'm still alive. But, I've got a ton of work to do and none of it is getting done, so I may not survive much longer.

Well, I need to at least try to get the kitchen finished this weekend. I can't take much more fast food, so I'm off.

Uses for straw

2006-09-23T09:33:00.000-04:00

OK, I work for a company that does gas work. I'm on a clean up crew, our job is to fix the holes left from when they put new gas main in. By fix I mean we take away the extra dirt, spread new top soil, seed, and blow straw on the holes to help the grass grow.

Everytime we work in the hood, I'm talking hood as in every other house burnt out or boarded up and those that aren't probably should be type hood, someone asks us if they can have some straw for their dog. So let me get this straight, it's mid august and 98 out, and you need some straw for your dog? Whatever crackhead.

What do they really want the straw for?

Let's move 'em out

2006-09-23T09:20:00.000-04:00

It's moving day/weekend/week. It's going to be lot's of fun. Everyone is invited.

It's so easy

2006-09-23T08:44:00.000-04:00

I won another $10 Amazon gift certificate from Searchchips with out even trying. It's a nice little surprise when you see the congratulations message above you search results.

I think I can get one more right here...

2006-09-08T19:09:00.000-04:00

That's a lot of garage sales and missing puppies.

Did I mention?

2006-08-20T22:03:00.000-04:00

I'm going to move. Maybe I'll move to bfe, aka Wisconsin. Then again maybe not, cuz cows stink.

Boobies

2006-06-24T19:59:00.000-04:00

Big or small I love them all.

I know it's only june but be sure to support the Boobie-Thon this year. It's for a very good cause.

Like this?

2006-06-19T05:37:00.000-04:00

I miss talking to Amy so much. I can't even put it into words.

You'll never quess

2006-06-18T20:32:00.000-04:00

Another $10 iTunes gift certificate today from Blingo

It seems as though winning is all I post about. My life is so boring.

Am I repeating myself?

2006-06-10T15:37:00.000-04:00

I did it again! Another $20 from Searchchips. If you don't search you can't win and if you don't win then you're a loser.

6/6/06

2006-06-06T20:24:00.000-04:00

I should post something about Hell today. Like if I would have actually gone there today I would have received a letter of authenticity saying I’ve celebrated June 6, 2006, in Hell.

I'd also like to point out my cell number ends in 666.

By the way I'm still alive.

Drop the y and add ies

2006-05-23T20:53:00.000-04:00

Is it cooky or cookie?

A dog or a wife?

2006-05-20T12:28:00.000-04:00

Top five reasons why getting a dog is better than getting married:

A dog always wants to eat the same thing for dinner that you do.

A dog is happy to sit on the couch and watch football all Sunday.

If you come home late and drunk, a dog is still happy to see you.

If you lock your dog in the basement all day, he’s happy when you let him out.

To a dog, there’s nothing wrong with putting your nose in a stranger’s crotch.

2006-05-10T20:58:00.000-04:00

Mother was right, she always said I'd go to hell if I kept it up. Thank goodness I made it back ok. Yep, I went to hell and back today.

On One Hand

On one hand I have some fingers on the other hand I have different fingers.

Can somebody tell me why ABC has to have a two-hour special so David Blaine can hold his Breath for nine minutes?

Stuff like this gives new meaning to the term idiot box. Now I know why I only watch a trifling amount of television.

If you don't search, you can't win

2006-05-07T13:53:00.000-04:00

I did it again! I just won $20 in Virtual Visa giftcards from Searchchips. I won $10 instantly and because I was using the search box you see in the side bar, it was doubled to $20. Since joining Searchchips in January I've won a t-shirt, $10 Amazon gift certificate and now these two $10 Virtual Visa giftcards.

I quess I should explain Searchchips for those of you that don't know. It's a search engine based on AskJeeves. There are two ways to win, instantly or by collocting chips for the monthly drawing. Here is how you earn chips:

1 Chip- For each search that you conduct - up to 20/day.

I love SPAM, especially with pudding.

2006-04-24T21:51:00.000-04:00

Okay,

Let me say upfront that I am sure this post is going to bring out some of momentary heartache of passing by the inane responses that may be given in order to glean any truth in this position.

Let the pudding fly!!!!!!!!

I win again

2006-04-24T19:39:00.000-04:00

Blingo rules! Maybe you should join.

Everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask

2006-04-23T13:18:00.000-04:00

I don't know why this suprised me.

About ten years ago my friend had a cassette tape called Glory Hole. There was a song on it I really liked. I can't remember the artist so I googled it, it was June Panic, but in the process I discovered things I never wanted to know.

Wouldn't it be easier to just post the "rules" on the door or something?

How to shower like a woman

2006-04-15T13:10:00.000-04:00

Long version:(sorry, there is no short version with women)

Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry hamper according to lights and darks.

Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see your husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas.

Look at your womanly physique in the mirror and stick out your gut so that you can complain and whine even more about how you're getting fat.

Turn on the hot water only.

Get in the shower, once you have found it through all that steam.

Look for face cloth, arm cloth,leg cloth, long loofah,wide loofah and pumice stone.

Wash your hair once with Cucumber and Lamfrey shampoo with 83 added vitamins.

Wash your hair again with Cucumber and Lamfrey shampoo with 83 added vitamins.

Condition your hair with Grapefruit Mint conditioner enhanced with natural avocado oil. Leave on hair for fifteen minutes.

Wash your face with crushed apricot facial scrub for ten minutes until red.

Wash entire rest of body with Ginger Nut and Jaffa Cake body wash.

Rinse conditioner off hair (this takes at least fifteen minutes as you must make sure that it has all come off).

Shave armpits and legs if it's saturday. Consider shaving bikini area but decide to get it waxed instead.

Slick hair back and pretend you're like Bo Derek in 10.

Scream loudly when your husband flushes the toilet and you get a rush of hot water.

Turn off shower.

Squeegee off all wet surfaces in shower.

Spray mold spots with Tilex.

Get out of shower.

Dry with towel the size of a small country.

Wrap hair in super absorbent second towel.

Check entire body for the remotest sign of a zit. Attack with nails/tweezers if found.

Return to bedroom wearing long dressing gown and towel on head. If you see your husband along the way, cover up any exposed flesh immediately, ignore his juvenile turban gags and then rush to bedroom.

Spend the next hour and a half getting dressed.

How to shower like a man

2006-04-15T08:16:00.000-04:00

Short version:

Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile on the floor.

Walk naked to bathroom. If you see wife along the way, shake wiener at her making the 'woo-woo' sound.

Look at your manly physique in the mirror to see if you have pecs (no). Admire the size of your wiener in the mirror and scratch your gut.

Get in the shower.

Don't bother to look for a washcloth. (you don't use one)

Wash your face.

Wash your armpits.

Crack up at how loud your fart sounds in the shower.

Wash your penis and surrounding area.

Wash your ass. (be sure to leave hair on the soap)

Shampoo your hair. (do not use conditioner)

Make a shampoo Mohawk.

Open the curtain and look at yourself in the mirror.

Rinse off and get out of the shower. Fail to notice water on the floor because you left the curtain hanging out of the tub the whole time.

Partially dry off.

Return to the bedroom with towel around your waist. If you pass your wife, pull off the towel, shake wiener at her, and make the "woo-woo" sound again.

Throw wet towel on the bed. Take 2 minutes to get dressed again.

Long version:

Replace #9 with: Masturbate using soap.

I want chinese dammit!

2006-04-14T17:41:00.000-04:00

I've been craving chinese for weeks. Seriously, every time I get hungry it’s “mmm, chinese”. The thing is, I know someone who knows the restaurant inspector for the local health department and because of this I know too much. Now I’ll only eat where he eats and that leaves only two Chinese joints in town and neither one has a buffet. I’m pretty picky so I like my buffet! I can’t take it much longer. I’m going to have to break down and order off the menu. Wish me luck.

Love makes a marriage

2006-04-08T11:12:00.000-04:00

10 reasons why gay marriage should be illegal I'm willing to bet it's not what you think.

Blingo!

2006-04-07T20:07:00.000-04:00

Blingo rules. I won a $10 iTunes gift certificate today. I know you've all heard of it already, but it's the first time I've won and I'm fairly excited.

While on the subject of winning. The other day I won a $10 Amazon gift certificate from Searchips. Err... make that Searchchips.

Cool beans!

Let it rain!

2006-04-07T12:14:00.000-04:00

I wish it would rain from 6am-10am everyday so I would always get rained out.

I hate my job!

Why?

2006-04-02T12:46:00.000-04:00

I wonder why I'm doing this. I'm not one to talk about myself. Sure, I'm highly opinionated but I don't have much to say usually. And it's not like I'm an aspiring writer, hell I don't even like to write.

More to come. Maybe.
