In high school, I had a
box of corn starch hidden in my dresser drawer. I didn’t know what I’d say if
my parents discovered it. Would they believe I planned to thicken some sauces
or soups? We all know I’m not the type to make corn syrup. “Arrowroot!” I could
insist. “I needed a substitute.”
What am I missing? I know this must be a clever post, but I'm clueless when it comes to corn starch secrets.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling very naive too. I have no idea why you would need corn starch. Was it to sprinkle in your shoes after a workout?
ReplyDeleteIf you read the cornstarch entry on Wikipedia carefully, you will find the answer.
ReplyDeleteWere you planning to use it to secretly manufacture textiles?
ReplyDeleteShhhhhh!
DeleteSomething to do with entry 61/365? Or did you just really like to make Oobleck?
ReplyDeleteNOW someone's on the right track!
