For anyone who may have noticed my absence – I’m back
There have been…. issues… plaguing me as of late. By the end of the day I’ve been just too tired for computers and blogging. I have a LOT of catching up to do!
The one good thing I do want to mention was the fact that I went to a good friend’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. The wedding was held at the Meridian International Center – if any of you watch Top Chef, you’ll recognize the place from a few of episodes ago – how cool is that? 
So, not dwelling on any of the crap I’ve been dealing with, let’s talk about smut.
I’ve never had much luck growing corn in my garden. I usually get a few good ears and the rest are small or some kind of wormy thing gets into them, making them un-eatable. It usually doesn’t bother me tho’, because I still have the stalks for fall-time decorations, so it’s all good.
But this year I came across something new…
I’ve been pulling the infected ears off the stalks and burning them.
Evidently it’s called Corn Smut. When I looked it up to find out more about it and how to get rid of it, I found out that it’s actually a delicacy for some people! 
If you want to get the low-down on this morsel, check out this edition of Steve, Don’t Eat It! from The Sneeze. Just make sure that you have a barf-bag nearby before you start reading.
So maybe I should try to sell this stuff instead of chucking it in the fire pit?
