Corn Juice, Pancetta Potato Hash, Fried Mint

My new juicer means that I am juicing everything - herbs, vegetables, fruit...and now corn.  I recently had dinner at Blackbird in Chicago, a favorite restaurant of mine that I've been lucky to enjoy twice in the past year.

We shared a corn bisque with fried oysters and pancetta on my most recent visit.  The corn was rich, silky and bright yellow in color, untainted by seemingly any other flavors.  I thought about the corn milk I used to make, back when I was psychotic - I used to barely cut the kernel tops off a juicy ear of corn, and with the back of my knife, juice the milk from the corn into a separate bowl for sauces and such.  My $100 juicer is much more efficient.   

I simply tossed the raw kernels into a juicer (about 6 or 7 ears gave me soup for 4, with a usable corn puree for another dish).  I warmed the corn milk gently when it was ready to serve.  The result was a rich, buttery, corn juice that tasted like fresh cream had been mixed into it, even though it was dairy free. Now what to pair it with?

I liked the idea of  the pancetta in the corn soup at Blackbird.  After cubing and crisping it, I slowly cooked cubed potatoes in the same pancetta pan until soft and browned. To add a bit of crunch, I fried mint leaves in canola oil for only about 1 minute - the mint shatters and crisps, adding a nice fresh, herbal contrast to the rich corn juice.

Cannabis is an annual, dioecious, flowering herb. The leaves are palmately compound or digitate, with serrate leaflets. The first pair of leaves usually have a single leaflet, the number gradually increasing up to a maximum of about thirteen leaflets per leaf(usually seven or nine), depending on variety and growing conditions. At the top of a flowering plant, this number again diminishes to a single leaflet per leaf. The lower leaf pairs usually occur in an opposite leaf arrangement and the upper leaf pairs in an alternate arrangement on the main stem of a mature plant.
Cannabis normally has imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants. It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to bear both male and female flowers.

Everything matters! That's a perfect phrase for the reality I tried to get at: "mattering" (alias meaning) somehow winning out even when things seem random. Or when they grow out of mistakes (or out of some small, distant move or misstep). I just want to emphasize the good work on this blog, has excellent views and a clear vision of what you are looking for

Eventually it'd be cool if you could get a QR code tattoo. Barcode tattoos already exist, but they don't actually contain information. Someone tattooing a barcode on themselves is most likely using it as a political statement, to suggest that they're oppressed by the man, or just a cog in the global machine.
