grill that shit still in the husk next time you cook out

or boil the cob after you husk it

7/24/2008 3:59:20 PM

damn i know this but if it's a girl's opinion you want...

7/24/2008 3:59:23 PM

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew...

7/24/2008 3:59:29 PM

microwave. popcorn button.

7/24/2008 3:59:44 PM

boil that shit dog

7/24/2008 3:59:46 PM

YOU CRACK IT AND NO ONE CARES

7/24/2008 4:00:01 PM

you might want to soak it first

just a friendly fire-free suggestion

I actually prefer to roast my corn. Just set it in the oven husk and all at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. It gives it a sweeter flavor in my opinion and a good crunch too

7/24/2008 4:01:17 PM

7/24/2008 4:02:06 PM

Yeah- Grilling or Boiling are the two ways I know.

7/24/2008 4:02:17 PM

I'm unable to eat the box unless I'm willing to wife it.

7/24/2008 4:02:36 PM

Slice it off the cob of 8 ears.

Put 2 TBSP of butter or margarine in a saucepan.

melt said margarine over low heat.

add one cup water.

add eight ears of corn kernels.

bring to simmer over medium heat.

cover.

cook until texture you prefer.

7/24/2008 4:03:24 PM

ps guys thanks for pointing out that i need to USE HEAT

jesus, any girl would be smart enough to tell me a fucking temperature or time or something besides BOIL IT. thats why i made this to girls, they are much smarter than guys

haha

this is one thread out of a series of "serious question for the ladies" threads i've made over the years. i personally find it funny to imply that i have a relationship problem and then ask a sexist question in the body of the thread

and tell me more about this microwave thing. wrap it in anything?

popCORN button? AHHAA

That's some funny shit right ther.

^Well it didn't imply a serious relationship problem because of the smiley face. Inclusion of the smiley face draws more reference to issues such as where to pick up girls, depth of their vaginas, or how they like to have their hair done while they're blowing you.

(However, that last scenario may be construed as a relationship problem and as such prove to be an exception to the smiley face rule)

i said temperature OR TIME, which implies that if the temperature is stated then i need a time. seriously, how do you make money to feed yourself

microwaving in plastic bags is a great way to get cancer... just put the cobs in boiling water for 5ish minutes and then pull out. butter and salt to taste.

I'm pretty sure that the general rule as to when boiling is complete is when the food floats.

7/24/2008 4:10:54 PM

you just have to boil corn until it's warm

anywhere from two to five minutes should do it, depending on how many cobs you stick into one pot

[Edited on July 24, 2008 at 4:12 PM. Reason : salt the water if you feel like it, too]

7/24/2008 4:11:30 PM

thanks, thepeter. if i can just get a female to sign off on that post, then i'll have my side dish for the evening lined up.

^im just cooking for one (SOB SOB SO LONELY) so maybe 2 cobs. unless its stupid to just do 2 or something. i don't know

^^ then that shouldn't take long at all

three minutes should be fine

damn, some of these people on the rest of the internet are saying 10 minutes: I'd imagine that shit would be rather mushy by then

7/24/2008 4:14:12 PM

corn cobs float when they are raw ... or at least mine do

7/24/2008 4:14:24 PM

hahaha

i like the microwave idea. maybe wrap it in wet paper towels or something and just nuke the shit out of it.

hell i guess i could EAT IT RAW, i love corn. its the best.

7/24/2008 4:14:43 PM

^^hey...i just wanted to sign it!

I just LOLed on myself!

If you grill it, soak it in water for a little bit! It helps to keep the husk from torching haha.

Roasting is good too!

actually the smiley face implied that it was another installment in my series of serious questions for girls. i think the last one was "how do i mop hardwood properly". and yeah it sure is weird to say serious and then use a zany thing like a smiley.

but im fucking wacky, son

plus it came in a big ass box, straight out of the patch or whatever. if i eat any bugs i wanna at least make sure they're cooked

7/24/2008 4:18:46 PM

i'd throw it on a grill husk and all

or i'd husk it, wrap it in foil with some pepper and butter and throw it on a grill

either way, it's going on a damn grill

[Edited on July 24, 2008 at 4:19 PM. Reason : ]

7/24/2008 4:19:35 PM

^i saw that episode of boondocks last night where whats his name said that. ahhaha i was like oh shit i didnt know it came from there

did it come from there?

PS - to the grilling people, i dont like fucking with the grill unless it's more than just me eating. if that makes sense.

so more microwave recipes!

haha i guess since i have so much, i might as well just do all the ideas at once

fuck it, i'll pick a winner later if i get back online

7/24/2008 4:40:04 PM

If you live in the country where you can burn outside, make yourself a nice fire, take the corn and smother it with some butter, salt, and pepper then wrap it up in foil a few layers thick, toss in fire for a few minutes, remove with some tool, enjoy! If you dont have a fire then you can do the same just throw it on a grill in the foil.

7/24/2008 4:48:50 PM

don't boil veggies, you will loose nutrients in the water


steam cut corn or bake/grill ears in foil w/ 2 cubes of ice and a little butter
