Eggs In Space

Hey y'all, been a while.  I know you were wondering: what took so long?  What food and science fiction combination were we waiting for without knowing it?

Answers: of course, I've been busy time traveling (forward, at one second per second).  I'm watching Lunopolis and chowing down on some tasty scotch eggs.  In this post-diluvian world, I was hoping to watch Escape from New York, to see the Kurt Russellian apocalypse I missed out on because of Obama's competence in the face of the deluge.  If only the government had collapsed into chaos and we had all gotten awesome ab tats!  But, alas! Snake Plissken isn't on instantview, so I'm settling for this oddball Scientology-time-travel hybrid.  My evaluation so far?  Primer is a better indie time travel movie.  Moon is a better lunar conspiracy theory movie.  Let's pretend I'm watching Escape from New York.

Today we're gonna make some scotch eggs, which, like Kurt Russell's bare chest, are oily but appealing. Maybe a bit too rich. Ingredients are simple:

Broccoli Fritters

This is a bit of a work in progress:  I'm trying to develop a broccoli version of jalapeno poppers.  Here's what I've got:
For about ten broccoli florets,
Make a batter out of 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup almond milk
1 egg (or egg substitute)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Other spices (cumin, paprika, curry powder, etc) to taste

Also, shred 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Boil the broccoli florets for three minutes.  Drain and roll them in cheddar cheese, then dip then in the batter.  IMMEDIATELY ROLL THEM IN A 50/50 MIX OF FLOUR AND BREAD CRUMBS.  Then fridge them for a half hour.  Deep fry til golden brown.  Eat.
