Whenever I utter the formula “I swear by God,” I am really saying, “Now I’m going to mark off an area of absolute truth and put walls around it to cut it off from the muddy floods of untruthfulness and irresponsibility that ordinarily overruns my speech.” In fact, I am saying even more than this. I am saying that people are expecting me to lie from the start. And just because they are counting on my lying I have to bring up these big guns of oaths and words of honor.

Seafood		Seafood, Dips	6	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1	c	All-purpose flour
1	ts	Baking powder
1/2	c	Cornstarch
1	c	Water
2	ts	Salt
1	ts	Sugar
1	ts	Oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all of the ingredients together and blend until there are no lumps.
Preheat the oil in your deep fat fryer to the proper temperature for the
food you are cooking.
Dry the fish or the vegetables with a paper towel and dip into the batter.
Place in the hot oil one piece at a time. Try to keep the pieces from
colliding until the batter has had a chance to set (which it does almost
instantly).
Cook until the batter has turned a golden brown, remove to a paper towel to
drain and serve at once. This is very good to use for zucchini, broccoli,
peppers, green beans, onion rings and any other firm vegetable.
