More adventures in fry-cookery tonight. This time I attempted batter-fried eggplant. I'd say the result was about 50/50. I ate until I was stuffed, and that was about half of the (small) eggplant. It was also the half that looked edible.
I love to bake, andI can boil, broil, grill with competence. Frying, however, makes me nervous. So much timing, so much painful grease splatter, so much mess, and so much potential for fire. Pancakes aren't a problem, and I'm usually ok with eggs. Deep-frying is my big challenge. Sometimes I nail it, but I have so much to learn. I don't think I'm ready to attempt doughnuts or rosettes yet.
Someday, I will rule the kitchen....dammit.
