I once read that creamed corn has nothing resembling cream in it. I like
your thought to pulse it in a FP.

Pulsing niblets in a food processor won't produce creamed corn, all
the cream part of the corn was left behind on the cob when removing
the niblets, then freezing or canning in liquid further removes any
possiblity of turning it into creamed corn. I'd say go to the store
and buy a few cans... I like creamed corn, I often eat it straight
from the can as a snack so I always have a good supply, like a dozen
cans. That's one product where the national brands are best, the
store brands are not nearly as good and the generic typically contains
lots of cob bits, not very pleasant eating.

I ended up not making it Saturday but the pulsing thing is what I'll
do. Thanks.

Uggg...maybe I'll get a can and try it both ways. Thanks for the
heads up on the name brands. I don't much care for creamed corn but
it sure seems to be part of these fritters.

At the time I replied I didn't know about fritters, just thought you
needed creamed corn, didn't know why. For fritters pulsed niblets
would work just as well, frozen or canned. In fact I think for
fritters I'd want more niblets than pulsed... slice the niblets off
some well roasted ears for better flavor ... probably add some crispy
bacon and diced jalapenos too.

OK. I'm going to pulse them. I didn't get to it Saturday because we
made last minute plans and had company. Sunday we were busy and
picked up this little bundle which will confuse the hell out of those
who didn't like my cat execution post. I'll get to the fritters ASAP
though.

Meet Quinn. He was born a few days before Easter. He'll probably
taste like chicken if he ****es an anything and I stir-fry his cute
little ass. You'll appreciate this more than anyone here probably.
I'm not a cat lover but when I held him a few weeks ago I knew he was
coming home with us as soon as he was old enough to leave mama.

Better than cute little rugrats who grow up to be juvenile
delinquents.

Cats are Your Friends.

Besides, he's darling--looks kind of like a cross between a cat and a
fox (maybe even raccoon) with those eye markings.

True. They do have a couple things in common, though: chew their butts
and they just stare at you. Then they blink once and walk away.

OB Supper: Homemade chicken soup, hoagies with ham, turkey, prosciutto,
salami, vinaigrette brushed on the bread first. Some lettuce. If I'd
HAD cheese, I'd've put a slice in mine.

To be on topic I've developed a mouse problem in the kitchen. I've
read cats are hit and miss as mousers. We'll see how this little guy
turns out. I've heard the smell of a cat will keep mice away but also
read that's a wives tale. <shrug> His mother moved into Louise's
uncles shed and he doesn't mind her as being an alley cat she keeps
the mice under control but Quinn's brothers will probably go to kitty
heaven. For now he seems like a good cat. He uses the liter box
fine, comes when we look for him or come home, and we took him on a
two hour trip this weekend and he slept the whole time so he travels
well without a carrier. I don't have a problem with one cat but I
have a problem with people who have half a dozen and think that's
normal and their house doesn't smell.

OB food. We had Lithuanian sausage from Bobak's on Friday night. It
was the first time we tried it and won't be the last. We only had
yellow mustard at the cottage so we used that and chopped tomato and
onion. It was late when we got there so I just did them on the gas
grill. Next time I'll give them a light smoke before I finish them.
But even as they were it was some good eating.

They can be. Or they can simply be cats. We've been casually talking
about getting one for awhile only because of the recent mice problem
we have.

His personality matches his looks. Mama is a calico. The first
litter she dropped in the shed had a kitten with the same marking mine
does but was white and the stripes were faint. I didn't see it but I
might have taken that one. It went to a pound but it wasn't no kill I
think.

>gloria p

I had one that went goofy and he became a statistic.

He's cool. That brown pair of shoes in the picture are now his. He
loves my shoes for some reason. And the little shit drinks all the
cream for my coffee!

Are you kidding me?? I never thought you'd get a cat. How cute is he!
Very sweet. He'll probably use his litter just fine.

I've made many derogatory comments but they were aimed at the owners.
I like animals.

>How cute is he! Very sweet.

It's been 8 days and he's as sweet as his picture.

>He'll probably use his litter just fine.

He's fine and very clean. I pinned a copy of a szechuan kitty recipe
in several places to remind him who's boss. Luckily he learned to
read pretty fast. The next reading lesson will include Kung Pao
Kitty.

The spray bottle helps too.
