We are never disappointed with a good New Zealand sauvignon blanc, and the 2007 Oyster Bay nicely highlighted the fresh citrus and pepper in the salsa.
We watched a great documentary on E.O. Wilson's life-long study on ant social behavior while we ate. I guess we're just scientists to the core...

Melissa's RecipesCorn Fritters
I didn’t initially publish this recipe because I think it still needs a bit of work -- but given the demand for the recipe, I’ll record it now and welcome suggestions.
~1/4 of a large red onion diced
2 eggs
1 can of corn whole kernels (creamed sweet corn won’t work!)
1-2 tsp of cilantro pesto (yes it did go a fair way but that was the last of it)
~1/4 cup of flour
liberal amounts of ground pepper
½ tsp of chicken stock paste (vegetable substitute or simple salt would do here)
dash of dried garlic powder
Cooking spray
Mix everything in large mixing bowl and then cook in fry pan like pancakes.
All in all the taste of the fritters was excellent; however the texture needed a little work…
So the obvious improvements to the fritters would be to use corn sliced fresh off the cob and pan fry a little crushed garlic to add to the fritter batter – fresh is always best, though with quick after-work food I think we can accept a few shortcuts. I think to get a lighter batter, next time I’d also only use one egg and reduce the flour to ~2tbsps. Thirdly while cooking spray makes the fritters very low in fat, I think the outside crust looses a little crispness, so using liberal amounts sizzling hot olive oil would also improve this.
