I made corn pancakes for dinner tonight, after seeing a restaurant review that mentioned them. The recipe was based on this one, with a few changes...
- The cilantro mysteriously didn't make it home from the grocery store, so I used basil instead
- I used fresh peppers instead of canned
- I put some goat cheese and sliced avocado on top
- I made an arugula, white bean, tomato and cucumber salad to go on the side.
Anyway, they turned out well. I'd definitely make them again.
I've been listening to the Redwalls "Universal Blues" album this week. They sound sort of like early Beatles, and sort of like early Bob Dylan, but more like a garage band from 1965 who was trying to sound like them. I really like it.
I just finished reading Zadie Smith's The Autograph Man. I enjoyed it, but... something was slightly off about it. I think she had some big ideas but the novel was structured a little too weakly to be able to pull it off. Still, it was enjoyable and well-written, and maybe it doesn't matter.
It's really, really hot here.
That is all.
