Somewhere I heard about someone making fried zucchini. I started thinking it would be yummy. I like zucchini. I like fried foods (in moderation). And, after all, I like fried okra. I would have to like this, right? I served the zucchini with flatbread, rosemary and olive oil to make little sandwiches at the table. We liked it fine, except that it was greasy. I think I could get the same flavor without the extra oil just by sauteing zucchini slices like we do for the lemon zucchini pasta.
Baked potatoes are good for you and have so many options for changing the style and taste. Our microwave even has a "Baked Potato" setting on it so I can turn it on and forget about them until it beeps telling me they are perfectly done. Granted, most people say microwaved baked potatoes are technically steamed, but they still taste soft and rarely mushy. Real ovens take around an hour to bake completely and risk overcooking. I have been told loading a crockpot down with potatoes yields very nice baked spuds. Note, that when there is a big crowd and spuds are small, the more toppings, the farther the dish goes.
After a long plane ride home from Texas, we called my father to meet us at this restaurant. This visit was far superior to the previous one (not that the last one was horrible).
