Apologies for recent radio silence. Lots of posts to write tonight, starting with another film and food evening ten days ago, when we began a Paul Verhoeven season with Basic Instinct and some sushi. Not many sushi innovations to report, but I'm finally getting the hang of tempura, where the solid/liquid content of the mix is absolutely critical if you are not to have tempura that is either too limp or over-battered. Although I'd like to think that purple-sprouting broccoli is the best vegetable to tempura, in truth asparagus and red pepper (both par-boiled) are much better. This time I made the tempura with a half-beer half-water mix, but the difference in taste was negligible.
