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

  1. I rarely fry foods. Are you going to do those fritters in your air fryer?
    I thought today was your birthday, but then my memory is STH, so who knows, lol. One of these days I am going to have to go to Red Lobster and try that cake you keep on about. Happy Birthday. Again!

    1. I certainly would Denise. Yes, today is my birthday. You really should try that cake, but it is always a very large serving so be prepared to get a doggie bag.

    1. Thanks Birgit. I actually figure I have a Canadian and an English birthday as I was born at 2 am on the 14th which would have still been the 13th here!!! Isn't it just.

  5. I took my boys in for the endless shrimp. I think Red Lobster regretted we saw that deal!

    Happy Birthday, again :) Glad you're feeling better.

    1. I bet they did Liz, did you take all four of them? They must have eaten the place empty.

      Thanks, not a lot of relief yet, but certainly some.

    1. I think so JoJo. Also part of S Carolina too. I have friends down there - tried to phone one of them today, no luck no lines. He was planning to ride it out. He is a idiot. He lives right on the Sound. Another friend, don't hear much from any more. Two others live inland and they seem to be OK so far.
