Drifting through life

Vegetable fritters. Baked in a 12 cup muffin pan. It's a non - stick pan, so I didn't think to grease the cups even a little bit. Then I allowed the fritters to cool in the pan. So of course they stuck...... the bottoms of my vegetable fritters looked like this.... ...but they were still tasty. oh, you want the recipe? Well, there kind of isn't one. Let's see, grated carrot, finely diced onion, quickly stirfried, let it cool, toss in some grated zucchini, set aside. Make up a "pancake mix" with less milk, an extra egg, and a sprinkle of white pepper. Stir in the vegetable mix, pour into the muffin pan cups, bake until cooked through.

With a spare broccoli hiding under the biggest one. I brought it home and it sat in the shady section for a few days. Today when I got home from work it was still lovely and sunny, so I planted all the seedlings (which are actually too big to be called seedlings), in the tubs which had previously held tomatoes and capsicums. Watered them in and now I'm hoping they survive and grow.
