Their Clothing

My mom is pretty proud of the fact that she can always find a great deal on clothing. It’s her mission I think. But this last deal is a little much…maybe. A friend of my mom’s recommended a new place to get her hair done. (She said it was super cheap.) No wonder, it’s the nursing home! My mom was shocked when she went the first time. But now she goes regularly because it’s so cheap. In going there, she came across the Hospice clothing store. She went in. And she bought something. She bought this lovely Ralph Lauren sweater for $4! It’s her deal of the year she claims. My sister said it nicely when she pointed out that mom was wearing dead people’s clothing. Way to get those deals mom!

 

“Best Deal” Corn and Zucchini Fritters

1 large corn cob, cooked with kernels removed

1 medium zucchini, grated

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 c milk

1 c self-rising flour

½ tsp cumin

Salt and cracked black pepper

Wile rocket leaves, to serve

Chopped avocado, to serve

 

Whisk together the corn, zucchini, eggs and milk. Gradually stir in the sifted flour, cumin, salt and pepper.

 

Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Using a T, place heaped spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan and cook in batches. Using a spatula, turn them once, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel, cover and keep warm as you cook remaining fritters.

 

Serve the fritters with sliced avocado and wild rocket leaves and a little sweet chili sauce if you like.
