Yesterday we went to the beach, the real beach with waves. I am a Sydney girl originally and when we moved to Melbourne all those years ago I nearly choked at what a pitiful sight it was when I laid eyes on St Kilda beach - I mean really, a beach has
waves and vast quantities of sand, golden sand. St Kilda, no matter how charming it is, is just a sandy bank around a bay...Anyway, we drove an hour and a half and spent the day on a surf beach and loved it. We swam, played beach cricket, we swam, we laid in the sun (with adequate sun protection of course!). We drove home and crashed.
So today was a "lay around the house day"today. And some crafting and cooking was done.
I made some coasters
Cooked some veggie fritters, everyone has their own version and
below I have shared mine with you.
And something lovely. Our Ballerina apple tree that has been potted for 7 years
and finally annoyed me so much I stuck it in the front yard and just months
later we have our very first apples!!!! I am told by the nibbler they are good!
Veggie Fritters

You will need:
4 egg whites (I use the egg yolks for biscuits)
salt and pepper
approx 1/2 cup SR flour ( I rarely measure this, just chuck it in)
2 cups of grated veggies ( e.g. zuchinni, carrott, ripped up spinach, beetroot)
a chunk of fetta cheese
oil (I use spray olive oil in my hand pumped bottle)
Dressing: finely chopped mint, natural yogurt, salt.
Whip the egg whites until peaks are formed. In another bowl grate veggies, fold in seasoning and flour. Crumble fetta in and then gently fold in egg whites. Heat oil and drop spoonfuls - just use a dessert spoon. Cook on a medium heat until golden brown on both sides.....Blend mint into natural yogurt.
Serve with salad and dressing...yum!
Now go bake cookies with the yolks!
