Found it! Rebekah's zucchini fritters recipe

-



Now that summer is here, and we are home for a change during garden season, the summer squash are thriving, and I can see a need for zucchini recipes.

This flashed by last fall as a comment on The Solitary Walker's blog by Rebekah of the Moratinos Life blog.

Per Rebekah:

I grate them up, squeeze out the excess water, beat them together with a couple of eggs, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs, and fry them up into fritters. Serve them with garlic mayo. YUM.


July 20,2009 - Update. In the interests of cooking science, and to use up an unexpected eggplant, I tried this recipe with eggplant instead of zucchini. My recommendation. Don't try this unless you are fond of eggplant to begin with. Susan liked it, but then she likes eggplant to begin with. I like mine totally disguised with layers of cheese, etc. The fritters have a distinct eggplant flavor. The recipe preparation is the same, including the squeezing out of moisture. The eggplant has a little more. Another note, when you squeeze it, this brown liquid comes out, sort of like you were squeezing the life out of one of the pod people. There are also a lot of tiny seeds left, to remind you that you are eating eggplant and not some innocuous squash.

    We actually haven't tried it yet. Doing a WeightWatcher's regime to get down to proper backpacking weight, and these sound too dangerously good.

    Aw, come on, try it... Weekend treat? They were very good, I can vouch for this - and they won my (non-existent) zucchini blog prize!

    Ok, I went for it, cupboard down to scraps and leftovers, so for supper we had half a sausage link, a bunch of broccoli, annnn...d zucchini fritters! I admit, they were great, but what doesn't taste good with garlic mayo?

    To everyone who likes the recipe... Thank You! And You´re Welcome! (The recipe also works for good old potatoes, too, if you squeeze out the extra water. Try adding some sun-dried tomato, too, the kind packed in olive oil.)

Patagonia - Torres del Paine - Trip Planning Stream of Consciousness

Thought it might aid some future trekker if I just list things as we learn them. It is now early Dec 2008, and we have reservations into Santiago, Chile for March, and back home from Buenos Aires. Now we have to fill in the in between. We got the start and end locations from a friend who visited Chile and Argentina last year, though he wasn't trekking Torres del Paine. Some other friends did do the trek about 15 years ago, so we started by borrowing all their old guide books and maps. Since then we got our own Lonely Planet Trekking in Patagonia , and a recent Torres del Paine Trekking Map . Since I'm going to keep updating this post, to keep all the Patagonia info in one spot, and try to keep a change log here: Change log: 12/14/16 *** very important*** all campsites now require advance reservations, for example at this date, all of January is already reserved. See Campsite Reservations post below for more details. 12/2014 *** important *** Any US citizen entering

Hot weather hiking affliction: Golfer's Vasculitis

This sock had elasticized top Chances are, you hot weather hikers have seen something like this. That's my leg you're looking at, yesterday's view, and not much of a concern to me since I knew what it was. The first encounter was a scare - on Susan's leg while hiking in France, and we had no idea what it was. Just it came on while hiking in very hot weather, and was right under the elasticized band of her sock, warm to the touch and puffy, but not painful. A wider, more brilliant band than you see here on my leg. A few days later, the whole foot started swelling in a major way, all the way from toes to half way up the shin, and extremely painful. That ended up with us going to emergency, where a severe infection was diagnosed, treatable with antibiotics, but we had to cancel the trip and it took two weeks for the swelling to subside. The doctors were unable to determine point of entry for the infection. They did x-rays for hairline fractures - none. Final though
