    i.e., the music first, then the words.
    Coming from a musician. OTOH, my background is more writing so.....
    Ernst Toch, I think it was, wrote a
    piece called Geographical Fugue that
    had words and no music.
    But it is rhythmical and chanted.... so a form of music without precise notes... :) A fun piece.... :)

    Yeah, I suppose, if you think of stuff like
    rap as music.

    +

    I'd probably like them both ways.... :)
    Most likely; unless they are too greasy
    both in my limited experience were fine.
    I'm beginning to want to search them out, and see if they are available anywhere locally still... ;)

    Or make them. It may take a lot of oil
    and a bit of space, but on the other hand
    it might be something that worked okay in
    a Presto fryer (which I basically don't
    have much use for).

    the real thing. in recent years my travels
    have introduced me to many snacks made with
    shrimp paste or fish paste and a surprising
    number of deep-fried foods. It's possible that
    these things had a real Asian ancestor, but
    I haven't found that yet.
    Someday you might run across something similar... never know... ;)

    Probably made with Spam.

    The other thing about deep-fried food is
    that I've found a lot of places that reuse
    the oil for too long. Saves in the short run.
    Yeah.... and totally loses in the long run....

    Reminds me of when Clean Dave and I challenged the
    manager at Woodman's about using rancid oil. The
    spineless thief blamed his teenage help, claiming
    they'd forgotten to change the oil (believe me,
    the stuff hadn't been fit to eat in days). We got
    our money back and a bunch of credit to be used at
    the bar upstairs, plus we got to keep the food (we
    ended up dumping it in the trash in front of the
    employees). Why the rest of the customers didn't
    call them out is a mystery; also a mystery is how
    it manages to stay in business. Uniess the dining
    public basically lacks taste buds.

    Title: Kathy Pitts' Onion Rings
    Categories: Snacks, Vegetables, Appetizers, Side dish
    Yield: 1 batch


    Slice large onions into thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick) Separate
    the slices into rings.

    Purchase a package of Oriental-style Tempura Mix at the grocery store
    (this is sold under the Ka-Me and various other brand names).

    Make the mix according to package directions, except substitute cold
    beer for the liquid called for in the directions.

    Dip the onion rings in the batter, and deep fry until light golden (it
    won't and shouldn't get too brown). The result is a wonderful, crispy
    onion ring with a very light batter coating that even people who
    usually don't like onion rings seem to enjoy.

    This batter is also good for fish, shrimp, fried mushrooms, fried
    zucchini, etc.

    Remember, the "c" in rap is silent.

    Title: Baked Pork Chops & Corn
    Categories: Penn dutch, Ceideburg, Pork
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 Thick pork chops
    4 sl Stale bread
    1 cn Creamed corn
    1/2 Yellow onion; chopped
    2 Eggs; beaten
    Salt and pepper

    Here's an old time idea that's probably "Mid-Western" enough for ya.
    This is something I picked up from my ex-Mennonite Grandmother in
    Hutchinson, Kasas. Take four nice thick pork chops and brown 'em on
    each side. Dice up four or so slices of stale bread++or bread dried
    out in the oven. Mix that into a can or so of creamed corn. How many
    cans you need will vary with the brand of corn. Add about half a
    chopped up yellow onion and a couple of beaten eggs. Mix the mess
    well and add salt an pepper to taste. Put the browned chops in a
    greased baking dish, pour the corn mixture over the chops and pop 'em
    in a 325F oven for about an hour. The corn topping should come out
    browned and fairly dry and the chops should be nice and succulent
    with a hint of sweetness from the corn. This is one dish that garlic
    will absolutely ruin! I've tried all sorts of ways to fancy up this
    dish but have never been successful in improving the original simple
    recipe. And there's not ONE squid tentacle in the whole mess!
