Day 146 Bust Out The Charcoal I'm Bringing The K'bobs

Today, I went out to look at my garden and cannot believe how great everything looks! The squash plants are really spreading out nicely and we are going to have so much, we'll have to share some of it. We have yellow squash, patty pan squash, zucchini, you name it, if it's squash, we have it. I want to live in the garden, I love the way it smells, I love the dirt, I wish I could just stay out there and watch everything grow, maybe roll around in it...sigh.
Tonight, I'm thinking about the three day weekend and the food that shall ensue, if my mom has a cookout, I'm making grilled vegetables! Back in Indiana, we used to eat at this place called the Rock Wall, they served local stuff, lots of vegetarian options, and all very fresh, not long out of the ground. Anyway, they used to make these fat, grilled tomatoes and serve them with basil and mozzarella, they were like eating steak, that's how good they were. Perhaps, I will throw some of those in the ring, along with grilled corn, onions, and mushrooms. Veggie bobs could work as well, I love grilling holidays!
Oh, ya for dinner I had cold sesame seaweed salad, just thought everyone should know, I love seaweed and I am not ashamed, everyone should try seaweed, it's crunchier than you think.

Day 64 Never Before Seen Tanzanian Movie Fritters

At this very moment, there is a miracle taking place in my kitchen, the vegetable fritters are in the making and I am muy emocionado, that means I'm flipping ecstatic...I think. This recipe is a rework of the Tanzanian potato balls, I've never made veggie fritters before and I'm making up the ingredients, but I think they will be fabulous. The potato balls didn't work as well as they would have, if I had flattened them out and added something to firm them up, so I'm starting with potatoes again and adding fresh corn, onions, and zucchini, as well as corn meal, eggs, and a tiny bit of red curry and coconut. I was feeling a little unoriginal today, until I  returned to the bankrupt Border's store to find some more closeout swag and I found two Saveur cooking magazines for 50% off. One of the articles was about the world's most original chefs and I found myself daydreaming of a midlife career change from social worker to world famous food artist. So, I'm trying out the fritters, hoping that they live up to my lofty expectations of completely original recipe and career changing inspiration. They're also my movie snack food for later, as I'm going to see The Black Swan with friends....that's kind of original, I bet no one else will have movie fritters.
