Declare a National Write Something Day

As many of my readers are by now aware, I fell into a writing slump some time back. Two works in progress plus a planned short story series fell by the wayside in the process. In an effort to keep some type of writing habit going while I dealt with the reasons behind this dry period, I started a one-year blog project called Experimental Positivity. The experiment involves completing little daily challenges, and today's challenge may be of interest to readers and fellow writers who've wondered if I would ever again wield a pen.

Today is the day, ladies and gents. Day 152 is the day I've declared an official blog challenge to myself to recall my muse from extended hiatus and put on the writing hat. I've declared today National Write Something Day, a highly unofficial but incredibly meaningful, shout-it-from-the-rooftops occasion. The manuscript I'll be working on is Bound to Her Master, a fantasy/bondage tale I began some time back. As an additional challenge I'm issuing here on Fiction with a Passion, I've committed myself by signing up for Snippet Sunday to share the results.

A-Plus Apple Fritters

J 12:00 AM 0 Comments

It's Too Yummy Tuesday!

On select Tuesdays I share delicious recipes either inspired by my books or that are just plain delicious!

Today's recipe I hit on when I was looking for ways to use up some apples.

Apple Fritters

Ingredients:
1 3/4 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. melted shortening
2 cups peeled apples, chopped into small pieces (though I've done this without peeling them first and it works)
Oil for frying

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together egg, milk and shortening, then pour onto flour mixture. Blend just until smooth, don't over beat. Fold in apples. Heat oil 1" deep in large pan or use deep fryer. Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil. Fry until browned on each side,

Some suggestions for serving:
As a side dish, serve with chicken, ham, or mac and cheese
As a snack or dessert:
Dip in maple syrup, honey, or caramel sauce
Toss with powdered sugar while still warm
Toss with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar while still warm

Makes a couple dozen fritters, depending on the size of your spoonfuls,
