Corn, corn, everywhere

[chargirlgenius]

The other day, I was lounging in the tub, reading Omnivore's Dilemma, thinking that it might be quite a challenge to try living without consuming corn* for a year. I could blog about it, then they could make a movie about me, a la Julie and Julia, and I'd be rich and famous.

That's why we do social activism, isn't it?

Anyway, I casually look over at my bath salts, and there it is. Zea Mays. Corn. In my bath salts.

I give up already.

*Fresh picked sweet corn eaten directly off the ear wouldn't count. That actually IS food.

I had the same idea about eating nothing but medieval cooking for a year, and I got as far as a single bookmark, and then I lost all momentum. But I was thinking the dark-haired stepsister from Ever After could play me in the movie? Either her or Dakota Fanning. :D

Ooh, the half way decent one? She would work!

Jeff says I have to be played by Scarlett Johannsen. Charlotte Johnson... Scarlett Johannsen... Coincidence? Or fate?!?

Hm. Medieval cooking would cover the corn thing. Except corn fed animals. That would be the tricky part.
