Just finished reading An Echo In The Bone..

A writeup of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon... This book is book 7 of the series..

This series is one of the best I have ever read.. and am reading. only problem is the books are soooo big.. lol.. so it is taking me a long time to finish one. I have been getting the series from the Library.. unfortunately they dont have book 7.5.. so I guess I am forced to go and buy it.. will be on my list of items to buy next month.. They do have book 8.. Written in My Own Heart's Blood, so I wont have to buy that one.. 

I have put the link in so you can check out the series yourself.. It is also a TV series on Starz.. so if you get that.. you can watch that there too.. 

These are a few of my favorite things.. part one

All my friends will tell you that I have been an avid reader since early childhood.. I have books all over my house.. I think I like reading even more than crocheting.. smile.. 

One of my online things I do is keep track of the books that I read.. I use Goodreads to do this.. not only does it help me keep track of what I read and how many books in a year I have read, but also since I often get books from friends, used book stores, and places like yard sales, Goodwill, Amvets and The Salvation Army, I never know if a book I read is part of a series.. sure helps me find books to read.. 

Lately I have been adding alot of nonfiction books to my reading list.. such as Crochet with Style, 

Ten Hills Farm: The Forgotten History of Slavery in the North,   How To Show & Sell Your Crafts, and am currently reading The Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Solution.  So what do these 4 books have in common.. well.. they all caught my eye while at our local libraries.. I remember too well how nice it was just to hang out at the library and just look at books on the shelves for reading material.. sometimes I just love to do that.. 

Fried Zucchini Slices

Never did get on the computer today for here.. just a quick visit for my shops and to check for emails on Facebook.. busy day for me..

Hit the library and got The Black Swan.  I have wanted to see that movie for a while.. then stopped at my best friend's house for a quick visit.  When I got home, I quickly did some stuff around my house.. and then out the door again I went to drop a TV off at another friend's house, did some shopping, and home to make some baked breaded chicken breasts and some fried breaded zucchini (fresh from my garden).  I got 3 large zucchinis picked today.. and boy was it good.

This is how I make my breaded zucchini:

Take eggs (generally one or two), mix with a couple of tablespoons of water, some all purpose salt free seasoning.. and beat together.

Then your breading - unseasoned bread crumbs, a couple of tablespoons of italian seasoning, a tablespoon of all purpose salt free seasoning, and a teaspoon of garlic seasoning. I dont use salt in my food, for medical reasons, but you can replace with regular seasonings.
Cut your zucchini into thin slices (I generally cut them as thick as a double thick potato chip).  Dip in egg mixture both sides, then dip in bread crumbs.. cover all the slices.. line a plate with double thickness of paper towels for hot cooked slices to absorb the oil.

Take oil and heat to frying temperature (I generally use canola for this).  Put slices in hot oil and cook until brown (I generally turn 4 to 5 times).. put on paper towels to absorb the oil..

Tastes great with ranch salad dressing, ketchup, and blue cheese salad dressing. 

More tomorrow.. new dishclothes I made and I put up on Etsy.  I hope you liked my recipe..
