Fountain hills

On the way back from Payson, we were up for viewing Fountain hills. It happened to be the first 15 min of an hour at that time, so the fountain was visible even from the highway. We turned into Shea Blvd. There were signs about an art & Crafts fair. When we were close to he location, a detour took us around a lake. In the center of the lake, I spooted a lotus looking concrete thing. It occured to me that this is the fountain we were looking for. I have been there more than 5 years ago. We walked around the endless booths. I saw the Funnel cakes, but when I saw he guy cooking behind pull out brown looking oil, all my appetite for it melted.
There was a hanging - twirler with a ball in it. It seemed like the ball was going down, quite an optical illusion.
Our hunger led us to Chen garden. The egg flower soup was good. I will never order hot and sour soup after the Yosemite experience. We had Yu shan spicy chicken and dun dun noodles. Both seemed to have the same sauce. It reminded me of Indian Chinese. It must be because of the Szechuan food prevelance in India.
We were in ine for a Lemon sugar crepe, but it didnt happen.
The first thing we saw of the fair was Emu oil. When we left the fair we walked by a 'greening the downtown' project which had emu bush. I conjectured if the bush was the source for the oil. I lose the unannounced bet. He is right.
A booth with wooden plaques to hang on the wall had '7 days without a pizza makes one weak'.

Leidenfrost effect

I was thinking about  how water drops evaporate  and came across  Leidenfrost effect . A line in that article about dipping wet hands into molten lead made me ask if this is the effect that lets some people dip into boiling vat of oil for picking out pakoras with bare hands  .  Sure enough

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
