Alphabet Game

First Category: Things to do with the outdoors.

First person posts a word that begins with "A", next person posts a word that begins with "B" & so on.

The person who posts the "Z" word comes up with a new category & begins it with a "A" word.

TWIST THROWN IN ON 9/9/10: We're on a category that begins w/an "A" - how about we start choosing categories alphabetically? So the next person who posts the "Z" answer chooses a new category that begins w/"B". '-)

As of 9/12/10, we've covered:

6 cups confectioners' sugar
Additional confectioners' sugar

Zucchini Cakes

This is the recipe I got from a neighbor. I use either olive or canola oil instead of butter to fry them...

Ingredients:
•3 medium zucchini, shredded, about 3 cups shredded
•1 teaspoon salt
•3 large eggs
•3/4 cup good quality grated Parmesan cheese
•1 teaspoon dried leaf basil, or about 3 teaspoons finely chopped fresh basil
•3 tablespoons flour
•1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•butter
Preparation:
Put the shredded zucchini in a colander and mix with the salt. Cover and let drain for about 1 hour. Refrigerate if draining for a longer period of time.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini with the beaten eggs, cheese, basil, flour, and pepper.

Heat a few teaspoons of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spoon a few tablespoons of the zucchini batter on the skillet for each pancake and cook until browned on the bottom. Turn and cook until browned on the other side.
