Tonight, I wanted to try to cook some tempura vegetables and prawns …
Here’s the recipe :
Ingredients
For the tempura
100g/3½oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
about 150ml/5fl oz sparkling water
4 ice cubes
3 small broccoli florets
½ Romero pepper, seeds removed, sliced
vegetable oil, for deep frying
For the dipping sauces
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
½ lemon, juice only
Method
1. For the tempura, in a bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder until well combined. Gradually add the sparkling water, as necessary, until the batter mixture has the consistency of single cream. Add the ice cubes.
2. Heat the oil in a deep heavy-based pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and turns brown when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
3. Dip the broccoli florets and pepper slices into the batter, then carefully lower them into the hot oil. Deep fry for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown, then remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper.
4. For the first dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons of soy sauce with all of the sesame oil.
5. For the second dipping sauce, in a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce with the lemon juice.
6. To serve, place the vegetable tempura into the centre of a serving plate. Serve the sauces alongside.
Hier, les français votaient aux élections régionales.
Les dernières en date avaient eu lieu en 2004, et avaient montré une victoire de la gauche.
Cette année la droite a pris le dessus, en Alsace.

It’s been a while since I wrote something here.
Been busy, launching some extra work after office hours, projects being carried on, and first major website is about to be launched !!
I also have plenty of new stuff to write about … and in the meantime, I’ll just announce that I’ve added a nice widget on the page.
If you look right, just beneath the flickr/linkedin/last.fm/etc logos, you’ll find a music player.
I’ts coming from grooveshark.com (I’ll write an article about Grooveshark, because I really fell in love with this application).
I’ll be changing the song from time to time, and choose the one I listen the most.
For starters, I’d like you to listen to Selah Sue.
She’s a young belgian singer I discovered at Bucolique Festival last summer.
She already has en EP, and is since recently Moby’s new friend.
She has an extraordinary voice, she sings like nobody and I think she will be buzzing in the music world in the coming months !
Here’s the song and some picture of Selah Sue:
Enjoy the music, no day should pass without good music in your ears !
Je ne sais pas si ce genre de post va devenir une habitude, on verra …
Quand je vois la régularité que j’ai avec mes Spotify Faves of the week et Flickr Faves of the week, je me dis que je ne vais rien promettre et qu’au pire ce sera du pur bonus ! [^_^]
Alors voilà, le lundi on a tous un peu de mal, et quoi de mieux qu’une musique qui fait remuer le popotin, et qui au pire est tellement mauvaise qu’elle réveillerais n’importe qui en lendemain de veille chargé ne serait-ce que exploser le réveil/mp3/ordinateur qui la diffuse …
On va commencer avec le clip officiel (?) de Rabbids Go Home, le nouvel épisode des Lapins Crétins.
De la musique des balkan, un peu électroni(quée)fiée …
Et quoi de mieux que d’en profiter avec des vrais morceaux de lapins dans une vidéo bien de chez eux ?
