One of the favorite "rites" of summer at our house involves squash.....yes, squash. We have a local restaurant that offers delicious fried squash year round. Truly a Southern delicacy, this fried squash is as addictive as any potato chip (or worse) you will ever find. (Is it healthier with a veggie inside?)
Not to be outdone, my husband took to a fry daddy (yes, a fry daddy) in the back yard to produce his own version of, you guessed it, fried squash. Breaded in corn meal and deep fried until crispy crunchy, these home made squashes (what IS the plural of squash?) are unbelievable! And, just to make it all a little more unhealthy, we pull up a cooler of beer and the patio chairs, and partake to our hearts' content as these amazing hot nibbles come out of the fryer. And I find myself wondering why those size 6 jeans don't fit like they once did......
Catch a summer night with a slight breeze, add our shady backyard, and fresh deep fried local squash.....it's a recipe for contentment....and what is that I hear as we finish up? Yes, the ice cream truck is making its rounds. Should I?
