Zucchini and feta fritters with guacamole


I made these for lunch today for the first time and they were good. To make the fritters (enough for 2 people, about 8-9 fritters) just mix the following together:

2 eggs
about 3/4 cup flour
handful chopped coriander
3 spring onions, chopped
About 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
About 100g feta, crumbled
Sea salt and pepper
Lemon zest
A little milk to thin

Fry in oil (I use grapeseed) and a little butter until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of guacamole on the side, great recipe here. YUM!

Creating an outdoor room


We have a special little area at our place where we like to sit in the shade, look at the nice wetland/bush view and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. This is the place where we scattered Lawrence's ashes and planted a tree for him. We also did the same a few years back in remembrance of G's Nana.
The other day, after mowing the grass, G put up a couple of brushwood fences, one on either side of the picnic table, which now give a bit of shelter. It also frames the area nicely. Now we just need to add a few pieces of outdoor art.
