I was hoping to bring you a new breakfast recipe today but it’s not ready yet. It’s not ready. I’m really really excited about it so rather than bringing you an ok-this-will-do-version, I’m waiting, giving it a few more go’s and will present it when it’s perfect.
Working the past few days have been challenging. It’s challenging to walk to the grocery store when you don’t have a car. I have a car. It’s actually in my driveway. I just can’t find the keys to my car. Last Thursday I came back from the mechanic (for normal maintenance like new brakes/oil change), set my car key down (somewhere?) and now can’t find it. I have literally looked everywhere, including the refrigerator AND the freezer (I’m not above this – I once took the TV remote control to the supermarket, mistaking it for my wallet). Now that I’ve looked everywhere, Amelia has become the number one suspect. SHE HAS A SUSPICIOUS FACE!
She gets super pumped at taking my socks/shoe/sunglasses and running away from me, hoping I’ll chase her. It’s a fun game for her. Not a fun game for me. So, yeah, she’s a suspect. I’ve been putting off admitting to myself that the key is long-gone and I’ll have to call a locksmith for a new key. That sounds like a lot of trouble, especially when I’m trying to perfect a new waffle recipe. It’ll happen in due time, as in later today.
In the meantime, enjoy these Charred Sweet Corn Fritters. They may look like normal hush-puppy kind of things on the surface but there’s so much more to them! Ahh! There’s brown butter (because if there’s gonna be melted butter, why not brown it, RITE?!), charred sweet corn, buttermilk (hai tang, hai!), melty cheese and then the whole thing is dipped in a really refreshing buttermilk ranch dressing.
I love ranch. Everything is better when it’s dipped in ranch … even pizza. So trashy. I can be trashy sometimes.
Anyway, the recipe is on PBS today. Here’s a link. I hope you like them/make them/enjoy them. Bye.
P.S.: And if you have ever found your keys in a super weird place AND think maybe I should look there too, LET ME KNOW!
There’s a car in my driveway with no key.
PPS: Ok, I’m actually leaving now, bye. BYE. Bai.
I woke up craving corn fritters! You must be channeling my inner foodie….
Yum! I love everything about this recipe – looks delicious! 🙂
I want to make these immediately they look delicious!
I have found keys in the fridge on several occasions… hope you find them soon!
Every time I lose my keys they turn up IN my car. I hope you find them soon!
I’ve thought about this. But my car is designed so it’s impossible to lock the car when the doors are open. UGH.
These look delicious. Also, I’ve found things in my kitchen cabinets before. If that fails, underneath my magazines. Always. Finding. Things. Under. Magazines.
I’ve also legit put my purse in the fridge,so I feel you sister. One time my boy’s friend came over and said “umm why is there a purse in the fridge?” and I had to mumble through why I lost my mind and decided to let me satchel chill.
HAHAH! Yes. This is amazing.
YUM.
Ooh yummy! Love the look of the dressing 🙂
Hope you find your keys soon without having to call out the locksmith.. and that the breakfast recipe comes together without too much delay – looking forward to it!
Yummm!! These look amazing! I love corn fritters!
My almost two year old hid my car keys in my running shoe. I found them three weeks later. Related: I work out. Obviously.
I second the looking in your shoes thing. Our cats are always putting things in our shoes. Which is probably pretty weird. Also, look under everything, under the couch, the couch cushions, under the dog bed. Whenever I can’t find something it’s always under something I didn’t think it could be under.
Currently looking!
Ohhh I hope your keys turn up!! I can so sympathize!
On a happy note, I’m in love with these fritters! That sweet corn and brown butter…mmmmm!
Drool. These seriously look like the perfect partner to the drink I’m currently nursing. Psyched for waffles, too!
Waffles were a success today. Tomorrow, yo!
I can wait for a breakfast post because this sounds awesome!! Lovely!
OMG…you made me laugh so hard with that story about the remote you took at the grocery store!
Btw, those fritters look delicious, crunchy at the right point…not to mention the ranch salsa. I’m a huge lover, too!
xo, Elisa
Hahaha I just died laughing at the image of you taking the remote to the grocery store! I hope you find your keys soon! At least you have these delicious looking corn fritters to snack on in the meantime 😉
