A little bit corny

For reasons I don't wish to divulge in public, the frogs in my household have recently developed an interest in......

Corn Fritters!

And dashed fine they are too (with thanks to Stephanie Alexander and her Kitchen Garden Companion).

With a cob or two of corn and a few other bits and pieces you can make something truly scrumptious.

Like this.

Me and the frogs?  we liked it.  A lot.

(Iron frog mess factor? High. Very high.)

Master of Arts

Apparently, today would have been Akira Yoshizawa's 101st birthday.  I am indebted to Google for this information.

If you used the google machine today you would have found this doodle:

"Hmm." I thought. "Origami."

And delved a little further.

Turns out Yoshizawa was a dab hand at a folding pieces of paper.

He liked to use wet paper.

And people who follow his technique are able to make amazing things like this.

Cool.  Very cool.
