I can't eat six ears of corn in one sitting.
I got my first fresh sweet corn of the season Friday and cooked six ears. I love corn. If there were only one vegetable in the world I would want it to be corn. I love corn, corn on the cob, creamed corn, corn chowder, popped corn, corn chips, corn tortillas, corn silk (powder,) and corn whiskey.
I cooked my corn, put it on a plate, sliced a stick of butter to melt over it, salted and cracked some pepper on it. Ready, set, go but I walked away calling no mas after just four and a half ears. I came back after about two hours for round two. I swirled the cobs around in the mix of corn juices and butter and bit in.
Wow! It tasted just like cannabutter. Not as strong but definitely like cannabutter. Hm. So I googled does corn have terpenes and the answer is yes. There were lots of long names and chemical formulae I didn't understand (Damn it Jim I'm a physicist not a chemical engineer) so I popped open a chatGPT session to let it sort things out. It turns out that corn has many identical terpenes identical to cannabis! I had to torture chatGPT to give me a straight answer (so you don't have to.) Here's the list of cannabis terpenes also found in corn:
Myrcene
Limonene
Terpinolene
Beta-Caryophyllene
Linalool
Phytol
Geraniol
Alpha-Pinene
Beta-Pinene
No wonder I love corn! I also love that I wonder things and that today's technology let's me find out why.

You know what I love? I love a Sunday morning wake and bake. And don'tcha just love it when you pop open a jar of weed harvested over a year ago to make it happen?

My original post was, 'Whatever, man. What the fuck ever.'
Instead, I see an amazing business opportunity: G2F Coastal Delivery. Maaan, I'd pay extra for a service like that.

I always looked at those things as money that could be spent on pastries.
Frozen Kool-Aid, man. Who would have thought?

As kids, we often got ice cream for dessert. As far as ice cream truck fodder and similar novelties, I have only had a handful. It might have something to do with getting run over by the ice cream man when I was 5 or 6.
Buddy Robert just handed me a handful of Otter Pop type frozen treats. By golly how I love those things! Guiltless stoner food on a potentially hot day. I don't even like ice water. But that coconut one, man. That was the shnizzle.
