James's Zucchini Fritters

2 medium zucchini
1 egg -- lightly beaten
1 tbs flour
1 tbs yellow cornmeal
3 scallions, white & green parts -- finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- thinly sliced coarsely
Ground pepper & salt
vegetable oil

 In a deep pot, heat one inch of oil over medium high heat. Julienne the zucchini in a food processor and set aside. In a bowl, blend egg with flour and cornmeal until smooth. Fold in zucchini, scallion, ginger and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Drop mixture by the forkful into the oil. Let cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer cooked fritters to a stack of paper towels to drain. Serve immediately. Makes about 16 fritters. Serves 4.

Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
