"Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?"
__Japanese proverb
"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work
in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

Eggplant and Rice Fritters
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups cooked rice
2 cups eggplant, cooked and mashed [about 1 pound uncooked]
1 tablespoon onion, grated
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/4 cup all purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
dash or two of hot pepper sauce, to taste
vegetable oil
Instructions:
1) In a large bowl, combine rice, eggplant, onion, eggs, cheese,
flour, salt, pepper, and pepper sauce. Mix well.
2) Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3) Drop the mixture by tablespoons full into skillet.
4) Fry several fritters at a time 'til golden brown on both sides.
Just turn 'em once!
5) Keep cooked fritters warm while fryin' the remainder.
Add more oil as needed.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
