corn fritters …

August 20, 2010

To me, corn fritters bring back fond memories of running through the sprinklers as a child, and taking a little break on the back steps as my mom handed us each a hot corn fritter.
I love when summer sweet corn is at it’s peak!  There nothing better than some nice fresh sweet corn!  For those of us who have corn out of our ears, check out this corn fritter recipe!
{Corn Fritters}
makes about 8-10 fritters
ingredients
1/2 c flour
1/3 c milk
1 egg, beaten
2 1/2-3 cups fresh corn kernels [about 3-4 ears}
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 shakes paprika
2-3 shakes garlic powder

on a skillet add 1 tsp oil and heat over medium to medium high heat.  Add a rounded tablespoon of mixture and drop onto skillet.  cook about 2 minutes per side like pancakes.
these would be great with some sour cream and chives or creme fraiche!

chairs …

August 13, 2010

Photobucketso, i finally picked the chairs for my desks in my studio.i went with these eiffel style chairs, since really, they were the most comfortable. and, i had a $100 credit at overstock that helped make my decision.as for the office, i wish i had more to share. i am super slow at getting things done. i have everything, i just need the motivation to finish painting a very large piece that is sitting in my hot hot garage, and when that is moved down, i will be able to hand my horizontal built in cupboards above my desks. sheesh, i need to get my act together.’til then..
