So w/ calphalon one they anodized all the way thru instead of just a layer on top of shiny aluminum. but i've thought about it and doesn't that mean the finish is coming off but you just don't notice?

we have local corn which i know my cousin parboils and freezes. no room in my freezer to do such things so i only eat corn on the cob in the summer.
Hey Thanks for all the info on the stainless steel - I will ponder. And as far as the adonized calphalon ... it STILL peels ... I know that doesn't sound possible but mine is the adonized and there are places where the non-stick surface has come off .... so yup I por have eated it EEK!

No room in my freezer for cobs either --- I was trying to figure out how to freeze the kernels cut off the cob ...


Quote from ank220 :
I'm not sure about 31604 either... *lol*

As for freezing it, I've never done it on the whole cob before - but that sounds interesting. I have cut the kernels off and frozen on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes, then toss in a ziploc. It's so delicious. That's another yummy frozen treat - corn and peas. They taste pretty sweet and are fun to eat.

I think I'll do fried chicken for that though - that should be easy to make and take.

Oooh... maybe I could do cold fried chicken - cook it all up on Saturday and then be done with it. What do you think about having cold chicken?
So do you cook it before you cut it off the cob? I was looking online and it looks as if you have to boil them and then put them in ice water first??? It says if you don't cook them then they are smushy and lose all their flavor ... why would that be the case?

sweet-and-sour cucumbers?

2 large cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
3 green onions, thinly sliced, w/ 3 inches of green tops
2/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup sugar

combine all ingredients; marinate for at least half an hour. with a slotted spoon, serve as a salad or garnish. serves 4.
nutrition per serving: 47 calories, 0.7g protein, 12g carbs, 1.2g fiber, 0.2g fat, 4mg sodium

so easy. i use one english/burpless cucumber, the ones wrapped in plastic so i don't have to peel and looks nicer. i slice pretty thin, but not paper thin. i let it marinate overnite so the water comes out of the cucumbers and the cucumbers get really sour. you can use shredded or thinly sliced carrot instead of scallions to make it colorful. you can probably water down the vinegar if you don't like it so sour. don't use tomato. my neighbor tried that and didn't work. it's great during the summer, esp if you are also eating greasy foods. my friends love it and ask for the recipe all the time.

i know some variations use hot oil or sesame oil to make it spicy or different flavor.
That sounds good! What is rice vinegar? I have used balsamic vinegar to make cucumber, onion, and tomato salad with pepper sprinkled on and I love it ... maybe I should try your recipie.

Anyone know of a creamy cucumber and onion salad?

WOW!!!!! That sounds DELISH! I am going to make some of that as well --- you guys are just piling on the cool recipies!!!

I've never parboiled the corn. I guess you could - it would just take a minute. But I have seriously just cut the corn off the cob and frozen it. *shrug*

Rice wine vinegar is a vinegar made from rice wine/drinks (like saki). You can usually find it with the vinegar and oils section - or in the asian section of the supermarket. I love the flavor and smell of it. It's soooo yummy. I use it in a lot of marinades instead of regular vinegars.

ETA:

Oh, and don't be too sorry for me. I haven't completely given up coffee yet - and that gives me raging heartburn too. Sadwalk I'm just glutton for punishment.

my pots and pans are just anodized. doesn't have the non-stick coating. the saucepan i used to heat up a little tomato sauce (acidic) for lunch is the one that's de-anodizing. the 3 qt saucepan is warped so it rocks a little on the stove. i stopped doing the tomato sauce w/ meat and veggies in that pan when the other sauce pan started turning silver-white on the bottom. i use a stainless steel skillet instead so really the anodized one is a little useless.

i have one calphalon nonstick frying pan. i always used nylon or wooden utensils and it still looks scratched and worn out. for some reason it also accumulated a sticky film of hardened grease that you couldn't really see and it wasn't non-stick anymore. that's the one i'm replacing w/ a larger 12in green cuisine cuisinart frying pan.

you will find rice vinegar at any asian food store and large supermarkets. they have all different flavors now for salads. make sure you get plain, regular, not the seasoned vinegar. i think you use the seasoned one to make sushi. it is less acidic and milder than white vinegar. i think you can use apple cider vinegar if you can't find rice vinegar. they sell this brand at my supermarket but funny thing i had to ask them to carry the regular plain flavor laugh out loud! i had a coupon and it was on sale Teehee! i forget if it's in the condiment aisle or the international section. i think condiment w/ balsamic and other flavors.

my sophomore yr my older roommate decided to live in the law school dorm b/c it was closer to the library. the cafeteria was run by a different company than the other dorms and when the cucumber salad in the salad bar got old, they would mix something in to make creamy cucumber salad vomit. i never ate it and never will.

some more cookout sides suggestions.

how bout tomato and onion salad? right now i use vidalias. i just slice up some nice ripe tomatoes, slice onion into half moons, and toss w/ dressing i make w/ oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. you can of course use bottled dressing. very nice w/ steak.

pasta salad? i haven't done it in a very long time, but when i was in college i would make a big bowl of pasta w/ broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, etc and toss w/ italian dressing and that would be my carb and veggie in one. you could leave the veggies raw or you could steam them if you like your veggies softer.

My mom had a yummy broccoli salad recipe that had raisins and onions in it. So delish. yummy

Busy day today. Going up to my old hometown in MD to have lunch with a friend and her kids, then off to the local ice cream joint then back home. All this with 4 of my sisters in tow, as well as my kids. Fun times. Big Grin I'm hoping to get a run or two in tonight. Not sure where yet, but somewhere. Need to get my shop on!!

We have had such glorious temps the last couple days, but its about to come to a screeching halt. The Fourth is supposed to be a high of 96. Frown Hubby has nixed plans to go into DC for the fireworks. I'm kinda sad about that, but it would be pretty miserable keeping 3 little ones happy in that heat. Guess we'll have to find something to do around here, I guess.

Surprised my baby sister with a graduation party last night. She had moved down here for the summer to get a job to earn money for college in the fall (where my parents live in MI, there is NOTHING as far as jobs go) and we hadn't celebrated her hs graduation yet. Gave her my standard grad gift - My First Care Package. So much fun to put together, and its always stuff I have on hand. :rofl:

OK, gotta read through some threads real quick and then get myself and the kids ready to go!!

Have a lovely day!!

Oh, and I've got the Keurig hot - anyone who wants a drink can come on by!!

Quote from mama2cole :
I keep meaning to keep up with the story, but it seems the only time I get an update is when I read it here. What happened?
Quote from tootsie67 :
Dontknow I keep reading updates here as well. The father has filed for divorce and there is a restraining order now. What else has happened??
The bio mom and dad held a press conference yesterday. The mom was very distraught, and was begging the stepmom to cooperate w/ the police so that they could find lil Kryon. They were basically saying "we know you did it, now fess up" What's weird is that she also said "we know Kyron is alive". The police are keeping EVERYTHING under wraps in this so only they and the parents know what is really going on. It's like watching a game of cat and mouse unfold on the TV. The step mom took 2 polygraphs (which you can only assume she failed) and there were the 2 911 calls from the house on Sat.

Dia, I'm wondering if they are thinking he's alive based on the questions in the polygraph.

Quote from TheGh0st :
OK believe it or not I have a crazy aunt that did that once. Well OK it was at home but she was sick and tired of her DH coming downstairs in his underwear for breakfast even though there were large picture windows and glass patio doors all with no curtains and within easy eye shot of the neighbors. So one morning when he came down for breakfast in his undies as usual he found her standing in front of the stove wearing nothing but what god gave her and a pair of heels, and YES ALL the windows were wide open! To complete the picture they are two retired Italians living in Central Iowa. (MY AUNT ROCKS!)

I have that all the time, only I add cucumbers in mine. We all love it yummy

Homemade ice cream sounds so good. DD got me in a mood for hot bacon dressing talking about it the other day. That is good over romaine, or potatoes for a nice German potato salad, or even over shredded zuchinni. Yum-O.

oh, today we find out if DD is having an Olive or Oliver Whee
