Morning everyone.
Lottydolly - just for you! I am sure the Mods will move it if it should be elsewhere.

Courgette Fritters

1 lb of grated courgette
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 eggs
4 oz plain flour
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
salt and pepper (garlic salt if you have it is delish)
herbs of your choice – I used dill and oregano

Grate courgette and put in a clean tea towel and squeeze excess liquid out.

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl to form a 'batter'.

Large frying pan with a little sunflower or olive oil. Heat and then put in tablespoonful of batter and pat down a little. You are aiming for a fritter to be about half an inch thick. Put 4-5 fritters in to cook at a time. Don't allow them to touch one another. Flip over. Cook until nicely browned on each side. Put on a rack to cool slightly.

These can be eaten warm or cold. You can reheat them if you prefer them warm. Crisp them up under the grill.
Nice with a cucumber and garlic dip.

I made a batch of these yesterday to take on a picnic today. I am off to Bodnant Gardens in North Wales (near Conwy I think) with some friends. Really looking forward to it and as I look out the window the sun has just come out! So, leg in a pant and get that greenhouse watered, tomatoes and cuke for lunch picked and 'grub' packed. Have a lovely day everyone.

Morning all, another lovely day here.

I have been looking for a smart summer weight navy jacket for ages and can't find one so having to look at alternatives...ideas welcome.

Going to have a bash at those fritters, they sound scrumptious.

Off for a cuppa and a piece of toasted fruit bread before I get started...have a great day everyone!

Morning all, I can't stop yawning this morning I need to get my act together and get the greenhous watered, I gave it a miss yesterday. I was cake making yesterday, I've a friends birthday cake to decorate today. But I had some trouble getting it out of the pan, fingers crossed I haven't bodged it up too much. In future I will make the trip to the shop to get the greaseproff paper. Lesson learnt! (Or learned?) not sure? Anyway, have a good day everyone

G'Moooooooooooooooooooooornin' Peeps! I was wondering how I was going to fit everything in, today, but the weather has made it easier. The band of rain hit just before nine, and is due to depart around five.

SusieQ's recipe is similar to the one I used last year. Hubby loved them, and we had loads, all summer.

Good morning all - off to the Library in a few minutes to do some Family History publications for the Fair at Motherwell this Saturday

What about a Not very smart, winter weight, any colour but navy, coat?

As we say round here - "Whose coat is that jacket?"

.........and its a Very Good Sunshiny Morning from me. Apart from sowing some DFBs I'm not sure what I'll be doing - but that's not unusual
Have a great day whateffer

Here's what I'd like to happen:

I'd like you to take that cake, and mail it to me via express air. It should get to me within a week, by which time, I should have the energy to walk to the mailbox to collect it. I will will then proceed to eat said cake, and subsequently take a nap fr the next 2, possibly three years.

Ha, just wondering on filling it with chocolate buttercream or plain old vanilla with raspberry jam.

[Jay22]

Jam and cream for me please Scarlet!

[lottie dolly]

Good morning and im glad to say we are still waking up to sunny days. I have had to fill the water butt twice now so some night time rain would be good.
Off out now to have lunch with my two school friends (friends for 65 years) . Have a nice day all.
