Vegetable Fritters by argus on Oct 21, 2009 at 2:13 AM PDT

I’ve tried it with rice flour instead of cornflour and it gave a tenderer texture or bite.

Thanks for the idea! I did a batch of grated zucchini and corn fritters, spiced up with chopped spring onion and red hot chilli, today; they’re so delicious. The next time I’ll try the flour mix with wheat flour and rice flour to see how it differs. Rice flour is supposed to make the texture even lighter or softer.

Sonja’s German Apple Cake by argus on Oct 15, 2009 at 9:18 AM PDT

Very good. Tenderly crunchy and flavourful. I used only 2/3 cup of raw sugar and added a bit of low-fat milk to wet the dough and dusted the apple slices with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbs brown sugar.

The beauty of everyday acts by argus on Oct 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM PDT

Beautiful and timeless yet timely observations and remarks. The joy of the moment and in the moment makes the job of the moment meaningful and non-menial.

Wok this way by argus on Jan 29, 2009 at 6:14 AM PST

I’d rather use a wok if I’ve a gas burner stove. But here in Switzerland, it’s (almost) all flat contact electric stoves, so I use a big frying pan. One way I avoid making a mess is to use two spatulas, one in each hand to toss the contents every so often. Works a treat with frying rice, too. Fun, practical story, thanks!

Spaghetti Carbonara by argus on Jan 29, 2009 at 5:48 AM PST

Perfect. Didn’t have fresh parsley on hand; used dried parsley and lessened the amount. Instead of parmesan I had pecorino - worked just as well.

It sounds tasty and doable. Thanks! (I’d leave out the cheese for fewer calories though.)
