Wow!

I was reading News24.com last week and saw this video clip about a local guy, Selim Kagee here in Cape Town. I followed the link and it blew my mind away. This will give Andrea Bocelli a go for his voice. As teenager he was advised to sit out in the school choir. He was persistent though and went for private lessons.  Go to http://t.co/tH6GzZjs to listen to this guy. Beautiful, full, rich voice. The link is in Afrikaans. Scroll down to the bottom of the article and you will find the video clip

This week was the week of leaking kettles. Why is it that the products we buy are not the same quality anymore. After many years, my kettle started leaking and the handle came loose. I tried to fix it, but in vain. Off I went to the shop and bought a kettle, brand new, out of the box. I could not wait to get home to test it out. Alas, as I switched it on, it started leaking. The next day I went back to the shop and they exchanged the product without question. Back home I went and tried it out. Guess what? Yes, you are correct. it started leaking again. This time I informed the head office of this particular shop that that the design is faulty and it is advisable to withdraw the item. Whether they did I don't know. All I know is that I went to another shop and bought another make. And yes, the kettle is working fine thanks.

Now the recipe I am placing today is homemade tempura. easy to make:

Beat one egg together with 1 cup soda water (club soda)
Add one cup flour and pinch of salt
Mix well
Heat up 2 cups of cooking oil in pan with medium to high heat
Test oil by dropping small piece of batter in oil. If it puffs out, it is ready.
Cover 200g green beans with the batter.
Fry a few at a time for a minute or two until golden brown
Take out and place on kitchen towel
Dish it up warm with a sweet-chili sauce
