For the first time I tries cooking the corn in the microwave. Husk and all in the microwave for 2 minutes. Worked really great, little mess, and saved all the vitamins that would end up washed away with the boiling water.

Dinner last nightCategory: food
I love the grill in the summer. I wish I had a kitchen with a grill and fume hood for the winter.

Apple sauce all wrapped upCategory: food
...because the thing preventing everyone from eating apple sauce was a huge amount of non-recycleable packaging.

Well what stops me from eating it is that you lose a lot of it to the bottom of the glass and sometimes it goes bad.... Guessing this is like the new thing where they make stuff for on the go..... Gogurt or those little things you ad to a bottle of water??????

Buffalo Outer Harbor CitybrationCategory: buffalo
We went out to the outer harbor sunday night for the final part of citybration. We originally went for the hot air balloon ride but I was not about to pay $15 to go 40 ft up. What's the point of going in a hot air balloon that doesn't even go as high as your house.
They said it had to do with the wind but there was barely any wind for a waterfront location. Maybe, whoever planned it should have thought about that.

Massive Fire Near AirportCategory: buffalo
You could see the smoke plume from downtown. I wonder what it is?

Apparently, this was a fire at Twin City Recycling at Broadway and Indian Road at the Cheektowaga-Lancaster border.

It was so odd I saw it walking down Broadway and it looked like it was way down then as I crossed over the tracks and over near home depot it looked like it is in a different spot.... Wish I had a camera with me or a camera phone .... Today on my way home I also wished that cause I say my First Pride Billboard It says something about lesbian or gay and that we all work with you daily and all the rainbow is made by the peoples shirts but not sure what they all say one says solider .. It is on Broadway coming from the fire towards Downtown Near the Home Depot....

Server Maintenance?Category: estrip
The sprinkler got left on. The basement filled up with water. Luckily I have the server 6 ft up. Right now I can't even get to it without mopping up water.

Opps.... It was a soaker hose, not a sprinkle.

That is crazy that leaving a sprinkler on out side would flood the basement...

Last night (e:tinypliny) and I roasted. One over the gas flame on the stove sand husk. It worked great. After roasting wee rubbed it in lemon juice, salt and pepper
Actually it didn't make any mess. I ran this experiment four times. It worked great every time.
You just stuck a whole cob of corn in the husk in the microwave for 2 minutes and it cooked it?? Did some of it blow up (a little mess)?
My family Easter tradition was grilling steaks outside. One year (maybe 1978?), we had the dig the grill out of 4' of snow (no lid, either - it was a sawed down barrel on a post).
I don't think it will retain the minerals/vitamins when you grill them either. Btw, have you tried roasting them over an open flame of the stove? We did all the time at home and it always turned out awesome. Get some black salt, smear it over the roasted corn and rub the lime/lemon juice over it.
Some People grill when it is cold out.... (not just on the cosby show with a Jacket) They just put the top down and then go out and check it but that isn't me.......
