I am busy reading something else at the moment, but I certainly hope to get to this book soon. Maybe I should read the first two books in this trilogy though as it's been quite a while. I do hope you enjoy them. I couldn't stand the aliens at the beginning, but eventually, I got to understand them and quite like them.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-58091614966675343222015-09-09T12:40:37.723-04:002015-09-09T12:40:37.723-04:00I've never tried microwaving corn on the cob. ...I've never tried microwaving corn on the cob.

I've done that with one or two things over the years. Artichokes is another, I used to slather them with dressing but stopped doing so and now I prefer them plain.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-43956289238901111542015-09-09T09:03:55.682-04:002015-09-09T09:03:55.682-04:00You are right, it is getting more and more expensi...You are right, it is getting more and more expensive JoJo.

Everyone complains about the obesity problem in the USA but when fruit and veggies cost an arm and a leg vs. 10 boxes of Kraft dinner for $2, what are poor people supposed to do? Our grocery stores let you shuck in store too, but I've never seen corn cobs left on the pile. I was a little turned off of corn this year after buying a shrink wrapped package of 5 cobs w/ some husk still on and finding worms under the husk. GROSS. Plus Russell likes his corn shaved off the cob and that's too much messy work. So I get canned or frozen.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-54602411650373934422015-09-09T07:45:24.472-04:002015-09-09T07:45:24.472-04:00How stupid of them Denise, didn't you tell the...How stupid of them Denise, didn't you tell them?

Unfortunately, one of the produce clerks was shucking all the corn and putting it out for display. I wanted to scream.
