There's a Pawnshop on the Corner, Where I keep my Overcoat...

'Scuse the digression.

There's a farmstand on the corner where my lunch-walk passes by...

So yesterday I picked up a zuke, some fresh corn, and a pepper, and for dinner, we had tempura'd tilapia, zucchini, and yam, with fresh sweet corn on the side. Delicious!

This was a bit accidental - I picked up plain seltzer the other day, thinking that Alton Brown's pancake recipe called for it. (It doesn't. His waffle recipe is still delicious). After some searching we determined that it was his tempura recipe... so we made tempura. A nice accident.

Hee hee, cool! Was it difficult to make? Tempura seems like it would be a pain, and I haven't seen that episode.

The only real tricky part is having on hand seltzer, vodka, rice flour, and cake flour. Mix 'em, dip 'em, fry 'em.

We do love our deep fryer.
