Â* I knew the first one or two the oil was too cool , jacked it up for
the rest . The problem is that the egg mixture is so porous . The ones
we get in restaurants do not have that kind of coating , and they are
NOT greasy - these were . I'm going to try an egg/flour/cornmeal batter
mix next time , that's more like what I've had when eating out . I may
also try some stuffed with cheese and wrapped with bacon on the grill .
She can't eat those , but I can ... and there are easily a dozen or more
fruits on the plants plus probably that many more some blossoms too .
Plenty for trying out to see what we like . I just have to make sure I
let one or two fully ripen so I'll have seeds for next year .
