You might not like what I'm about to post, Hydey, and I offer it with absolutely no prejudice - Snowy liked MOBIUS, too, he gave her lots of pats, too.

Actually, she was making overtures to Horse the other night. It's just me that she hates! Which is mighty fine by me, 'cause it's mutual!

I missed that - I hope she didn't get too close - that chronic discharge around her eyes looked contagious.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Finbar, I've just had the best zuchinni fritters--you can dress up the term with something French, I'm sure--the other night. I'll have to send you the recipe...we can never have too many dishes that consume massive quantities of that prodigious vegetable, to be sure.
Delicious...I think they were basically shredded and drained zukes, flour and some cheese grated in...but they were incredibly good. I had visions of the ingredients that could be mixed in--smoked salmon, ham, bell peppers...the list could be infinite.

Yeah, we have them sometimes. I don't use flour, just an egg to hold it all together. I keep them fairly simple, well seasoned, some chopped herbs, maybe toss in a sprinkle of crushed, dried chilli.

The zucchini's such a versatile bugger. I came across a really simple but delicious Zucchini Pasta - grate a couple of zucchini, sweat some finely chopped onion in quite a lot of butter in a pan with garlic, add the zucchini and some crushed, dried chilli. Keep the pan on the heat only until the zucchini has softened. Don't overcook or it turns to mush. Stir in the cooked pasta - I use linguine - and turn to make sure the pasta is well coated. Serve with a salad.

That sounds excellent...I will have to give that a go soon. We also have some eggplant coming in...and there's nothing better when you throw some marinade and roasted garlic into the mix.
I love those ingredients that hold flavor. I'd use tofu more, but it is a ***** to cook right it seems. Once I learned the trick of freezing the water out of a block, I had a lot more success.

Dobbing is the very last refuge of the very desperate. In fact, she saw my post. My ear is still tender. But the outrage with which the eye discharge and concentration camp posts were received ... let's just call it a completely different kettle of boiling oil for the purposes of application to a certain cheval's nuts.

They're terrific. Providing - as with all fritters - the oil's hot enough to seal the fritter - preventing oil absorption - without being so hot as to burn the bugger.

You're very fond of cheese. It seems to be an American thing. I see it in a lot of American recipes. Why is this?

Well, we are very good cheese makers here...wine makers too, for that matter. The French have nothing on us. In fact, one of the high schools on the coast (where there are a lot of dairy farms) has The Cheesemakers as their mascot. I'm sure that sets their foes all a tremble. Do a search on Tillamook cheese...excellent.

Plus, I have that horrific distribution of tastebuds that is ideally suited for deep fried cheese balls soaked in mayonnaise. Yum!

Tofu can be done well, if you have the touch...as I don't, I leave it alone. But fried tofu with a good plum sauce and some onion, sweat pea, garlic and crispy chicken isn't half bad.
It's just a bean curd...nothing to be frightened of.

And suggesting that Mrs. Fin's beloved doorstop be put down is reprehensible even for you, Horse.

Lord knows old Snowy could be put to much better use...I'm thinking a stir fry.

But that doesn't explain its appearance in so many recipes.

I find it useful only as a pencil eraser.

I doubt it, I am the one who wrote such a glowing endorsement of the time you waste here. I can cover my ass as well as yours, friend.

I must confess I had a hard time letting go of our old cockapoo, Snuggles. They really are like part of the family after eighteen years.

Hi Mrs. Fin!

Maybe you don't get decent tofu down there? Though I can't see how you can mess it up? You probably aren't a fan of Kimchi either I take it?

I'm sure it's perfectly fine tofu. I just prefer not to eat what I use to erase pencil marks.
