Problems with the Blog...

I have been trying since Monday night to upload a picture and keep getting an error message. Not sure what the problem is, although the error message says the blogger engineers are "working" on it.

Wanted to show you the beer-battered fish I made. Monday night, I was eating that boring leftover cassarole I mentioned for dinner when it dawned on me: it still tasted b-o-r-i-n-g! Decided I was getting lazy in my own kitchen.

So, thawed out some talapia (only frozen fish I had), cut a big white onion into half inch rings and made a simple beer batter (3/4 cup of all purpose flour, 3/4 cup of beer (any kind but dark) and 3/4 teaspoon of salt - mix it all together and you're done). Heated canola oil to 350 degrees F.

Made the onion rings first (so they wouldn't taste "fishy") but batter was too thick! Tasted good, but too puffy and doughy. Next time I'll make two batters and for the onion rings I'll use 1 cup of beer.

Fish, however, was a different story. Perfect!!! I was afraid the light taste of the talapia would be overpowered (recipe called for haddock or cod) but, no, it was great.

Hope the engineers get done soon so you can see what I mean!
