Personally, I don't need any friends . . . I have LOTS of zucchini.  And, many many more on they way. 


Hmmm . , , Hey!  Who wants to be my friend?  Just let me know where you park your car.  :-)~ 

In my ongoing quest to do creative things with the daily harvest of zucchini emerging from my garden, I found this interesting recipe.  Quick and easy.  Tastes like crab but there's no crab.  Old Bay seasoning and shredded zucchini do the magic

Zucchini 'Crab' Cakes

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in seasoned crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well.

2. Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.

3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides.

Seriously . . . these things taste just like crab cakes and they have the right texture . . . amazing.
