*stupid question alert*

Is there an easy way to get the kernels off the cobs? ... apart from handing them to my OH and saying "I grew 'em, you strip 'em" ?

hold the cob at one end in a large almost flat dish or plate at at a slight angle and then run a knife down it from about 1/2 way down, then turn it and do the other 1/2. (No responsibilty for fingers, take care) Good luck, Mrs Bouquet PS: I think your idea sounds better :!: :!:

knife? .... hmmm, she just about trusts me with blunt crayons :? I'll let you know how many digits I lose when my corn ripens

Thanks for the tip and the recipe

... although I think I may stick to my current method of stripping the kernels

How do you strip them then, Yabba?

Hi Jac! Nice to see you back.

Hey Trill,

I really wanna be around more, but work :evil: :evil: seems to take all my time. I do pop by and browse quietly sometimes though!

I don't

... mind you, I have far more fingers now than if I follow mrs bouquets method :|

Would you be upset if I said "wtf is Yabba Mate tea" ? .. I even hit the evil google (the evil google results for "yabba mate tea" ), cos I hate to be ignorant ... but this was the top result

..... would it upset you more if I mentioned that I don't like tea at all? .... now, if there was a Yabba Mate Coffee I'd probably be interested

.. especially as the evil google has never heard of it

Naaa! Wouldn't be upset Yabba, just curious, though I've seen through google the correct spelling is 'yerba mate'. It's a tea I drink sometimes to clean out the liver and kidneys, that's all. Nothing serious enough to get me offended/upset

The best thing to clear your system is vodka

I've never heard off yerba tea either though

Mrs B, i am going to have a go at the relish, sounds good. Once done do you have to store in a fridge or can it go in a cupboard at room temp. How long will it last in both?

Thanks

Cawdor

will pm this also in case you do not see this
