We had Coho salmon and Serrano creamed corn. Corn cut off the cob,
cooked slowly on the stove with some oil and a Serrano, with a little
salt and white pepper, and finally, heavy cream. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cxQU571tcgZRxsqc7

😆 That looks rather dry for 'creamed corn.' No scrapping
the cob to release some of the corn 'milk' so it won't look
like a desert?

On Memorial Day itself, our only plan is to clean the maple seeds
out of the gutters on the house.  Easy-peasy (relatively speaking)
with the leaf-blower attachment my husband made out of some Schedule 20
PVC.  Bonus for having a single-story house:  we don't have to climb
ladders to maintain the gutters.

I had these put on my gutters about 15+/- years ago.  My
neighbor, who is a roofer, has been on my roof several times
and says my gutters are clean as a whistle with these on
the gutters.

There are companies that will install these, but I got mine
at Home Depot, 25 in a box if I remember correctly, and
another neighbor was doing some work for me and installed
them.

I have something similar on mine. I installed them the year that I fell
off the overhang while going up to clean the gutters. I had them on for
about 10 years before I had that huge branch fall on my house. The
insurance covered the cost of repairs which involved ripping off the shingles, repairing a few holes in the plywood sheath, and they
replaced all the soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts and the gutter
guards. I checked a couple spots last year and they are still clean.

They really do an amazing job of keeping gutters clean.
I thought for sure that little mesh cloth type strainer
that is attached on the underside would disintegrate
in a few years. Still going strong.

He's had a hard-on for JK for years. He can't seem to let go of the
high school angst. They were made for each other.

Most (85-90%) of the sweet corn grown in the U.S. is not GMO.

That's too technical for me. I only know "corn". Them yellow kernels
that Americans love.

I'm a fan of "Silver Queen" myself. It's white corn and
as far I'm concerned, completely different from yellow
corn.

From the internet:

Silver Queen Corn is an American variety of sweet corn with
white kernels and a sugary taste. It has a light yellow-white
color and thin, tender kernels that are especially sweet when
cooked. The cultivar was first grown in 1880 by William Bates,
who named it after his daughter Queenie (or “Silver Queen”).
It is revered for its long harvest season and plump, sweet
kernels. Unlike newer “sugary enhanced” sweet corn cultivars,
Silver Queen has a milder sugar content. The plant produces
large ears with white and yellow kernels.

The Silver Queen I buy only has white kernels, no mixing
of yellow in the ears.

As usual, your Majesty nailed it!  The JK/simmons affair was sort of
like your Highness' relationships with Popeye, and later, that
mysterious guy named "John". Neither of these hookups lasted till the
water got hot, and your Majesty got even colder.

Jill is exceptional, in that most dumb blondes wouldn't have their personalities improved if they were raped by a well hung Gullah.

And she'll croak never having had the joy of bring pregnant and
experiencing her water breaking...

Don't forget about Aloha Shoyu and loco moco. I suppose you can also
kick in Nutella, Kewpie mayo, ketchup, "fish", corn, corn syrup, HFCF,
Spam, Spam musubi, poi, and Hawaiian plate lunch. There's other stuff
but it's mostly anything you can name. You probably don't like bowling
and toddlers too.
