8/25 vietnamese part deux

so the heat index hit 104degrees today. that's not cool. but what was i to do, i've been getting 6-12 ears of corn for the last month from Parker Farms and I had to come up with some new way to cook them. i've grilled 'em, turned them into soup, boiled them, eaten them raw... so what's left? well, deep frying of course! So yesterday when i was making my vietnamese meal i noticed a recipe for a coconut&corn fritter in the cookbook. So, that's exactly what i did. Basically, just some corn and coconut cream blended together with an egg, some flour and cornstarch, then deep fried for just a few minutes until they were all puffed up. Not exactly the light and healthy meal i was craving, but it sure was a good snack and should hold me over till the sausage i will invariably be enjoying at 2am in Faneuil Hall tonight.

note: i ended up eating clams in black bean sauce at 2am in chinatown! immeasurably better than italian sausage.

If you're really serious about winning these polls, I think you have to give tastes to the locals, then they'll have to vote for the thing they've actually tasted...
