no oxford chucked a last minute exam at me.
so thats friday, and then i fly out sunday.
it meant i missed my visa appointment.but I can sort it out out there I think.
I have to pay for my accom tonight, and I wish I had time to stop in Auckland on the way out but i'm going to be late for the job anyways...
On the way back it depends whether I have gotten into medical school or not.
If not, I'm flying back via my birth place, a friend in honolulu and a friend in SF.Thanks again for everything though.

Ive decided to go back to eating a vegetarian diet, Ive got some good recipes to use but wondered if anyone could suggest a good book- mainly for evening meals. Thanks
Excellent!
My favourite kind of cookery is Keralan, primarily as channelled through RASA N16 (which is of course slightly adapted to Western tastes. There are some very good cookbooks by the owner, Das Sreedharan. 'Fresh flavours of India' (Conran) and 'The new tastes of India' (Headline) are the two you need. 'Fresh flavours' regrettably includes meat recipes (forced by the publisher), and only 'New tastes' is fully vegetarian. And, of course, the guy has since gone on to open lots of meat restaurants even though he is vegetarian, but the original vegetarian recipes are just great. Try Bagar Baingan, Thakkali Curry, or Rasa Vangi. I learned to cook through these books and I think the methods used are vastly superior to a lot of Western cooking.

These are great to make if you have friends over for lunch, quick,easy and cheap to make, also nice served cold at picnic's etc...
Corn Fritters
2 cups self rising flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp optional ground cumin or coriander salt and pepper to season 2 eggs 1/2 cup Sweet Chilli Sauce 1/2 cup water 2 cups Sweet Corn 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley butter for panfryingSift the flour, baking powder, cumin or coriander, salt and pepper into a bowl and make a well in the center.
Mix together the eggs,Chilli Sauce, water, Corn and parsley and stir into the flour gently.
Heat a knob of butter in the frying pan and when hot cook about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture at a time. Once the bubbles form on the top of the corn cake, flip and cook the other side for a further 2 minutes or until cooked and tender.
Serve with either sliced avocado & sour cream or caramelized onion jam( I have a great family recipe for this if anyone wants it) rocket and chunks of ciabatta
Serves 12 ( just half the recipe if you require less)
