Octogenarian, Bowling, Cannabis, Red Lobster,

So, I guess I confused you somewhat. It is today that I became an octogenarian, but you don't all have to wish me happy again. I really appreciate all the good wishes I have received. Thank you so much.

Went bowling Thursday afternoon, Matt had the nerve to beat me again on the second game. I shall have to deal with him somehow LOL. By the way, I think I am beginning to get some relief from the Medical Cannabis. I am just hoping that in October at some point it will all get sorted out so I can get financial help from our Insurance company. The stuff is excruciatingly expensive.

Now, have to think what I am going to have for lunch today bearing in mind I shall be feasting on fish tonight. Red Lobster are having a special of Endless Shrimp at the moment, not sure if I will take advantage of that or not.

These looked so good I wanted to pull them right off the page.

Potato Zucchini Fritters

2 large zucchini grated
4 large potatoes grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbs hot sauce such as Frank's hot sauce or Sriracha sauce
2 eggs
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
1 Tbs dill fresh or dried
vegetable oil for frying

1. Line a big bowl with paper towels. Grate the zucchini in the prepared bowl, do one zucchini at a time, then strain all of the water from them using paper towels. Alternatively, you can place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, and add about a tsp of salt to the zucchini. Gently toss, then using paper towels, drain the zucchini.

2. Add the shredded zucchini to a large bowl and in the same bowl grate the potatoes. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well with a spatula or with clean hands.

3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Take a spoon and drop a tablespoon of the potato zucchini mixture in the skillet, or use your hands to form a ball then flatten it for a patty. You can also use a 1/4 cup measuring cup, as seen on the video.

4. Turn the heat down to a medium. You can fry about 7 to 8 fritters at once. Fry on both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minute per side, then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining fritters.

Yield: 25
