My husband and I are having an ongoing argument. It's not about how he dresses, or whether the toilet seat should be left up or down. It's about corn.
Corn.
My husband is under the (incorrect) impression that it is a vegetable.
"See?", he says, pointing to box in the freezer. "It says vegetable medley. And it clearly shows corn as part of the vegetable medley."
"Yeah, well, they also call Velveeta cheese."
I whole heartedly disagree. Corn is a grain, therefore a starch/carb. This makes dinner very difficult.
"What should we have with the chicken and corn on the cob?" I ask innocently.
"Mashed potatoes?"
"Umm, no."
"Why not? We already have a veg?"
"Umm, sweetie, corn isn't a veg. It's a starch. Have you ever heard of broccoli tortillas?"
"No, but I've heard of zucchini bread."
"Never mind."
This has lead to a basic ban of corn in our house. This makes 4th of July and August in general very awkward.
Can't we all just get along?
