You'll get no argument from me on any of that.

I have the advantage of having a municipally-owned utility which has one of the
best electric rates in this part of the world - as well as helping to keep the
tax rates down overall as any surplus goes into the general fund for other
municipal uses.

And is plenty good for my little corner of the Great American Outback.

      Title: Dirty Dave's Sort-Of Tempura Batter
 Categories: Five, Breads, Deep-fry
      Yield: 7 Servings
 
      5 tb All-purpose flour
      3 c  Aunt Jemima's Deluxe easy
           - pour pancake batter mix
    1/4 ts Baking soda
  3 1/2 c  Club soda; room temp
  1 1/2 c  Water
 
  I first made this batter for a house party at to celebrate
  my buying my first house in 1975. I don't remember where I
  swiped the recipe from - but, it's mine now. Works well if
  you substitute beer for the water, too.
  
  Combine the flour pancake mix and baking soda in a deep
  bowl. Stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon pour in
  the club soda and water in a slow stream and continue to
  stir until the mixture is a smooth thin cream.
  
  Strain the batter through a fine sieve set over a clean
  bowl pressing down hard on any lumps with the back of a
  large spoon.
  
  Dip vegetables, shrimp, etc. in batter and drop into the
  deep-fryer or fondue pot with oil at 350øF - 375øF.
  
  Cook until batter is a nice golden brown and crispy.
