Rainy days and comfort food

It is raining today.  Shocker, I know.  It is England.  However, it is ACTUALLY raining today, not spitting, which is what it normally does!

Whenever it pours like this, all I wanna do is snuggle on the couch and eat comfort foods.  My love for comfort-y foods hasn't changed but my definition of them has, for sure!  It used to be a HUGE portion of whatever fast food joint was closest.  THEN, a double portion of extra fries!  Now, I realize that I can have homemade comfort food at a FRACTION of the cost and other stuff!

Her ya go... my comfort food recipe of the day!

Zucchini Latkes

2-3 big zucchinis, grated
1/2 cup of multi-grain pancake mix
1/4 ish tsp. of Baking soda
1/4 tsp of KSP, or to taste
olive oil

First, drain your zucchini.  Grate them into a colander in the sink.  Sprinkle some salt, not the 1/4 tsp, on the top and leave them for about 10-15ish min.  After that, place all the drained veg in a clean kitchen towel.  WRING out your veg!  You'll be surprised at how much aqua will come out!  Give it an extra wring for good luck!  Dump your veg into a bowl and the add the salt and pepper.  Give it a stir and separate the clumps up.  Add the soda and MG pancake mix.  Mix it all together.  Put the olive oil in the pan and heat it up until it is shimmery. Plop spoonfuls into your pan.  Not too many, we don't wanna crowd the pan!  Flatten with the back of your spatula.  Cook about 3-4 min on each side on about medium heat until GOLDEN BROWN.  I popped mine into a 325ish oven for about 10 mins to further crisp them up an fully set them!
