faith, a wish and a prayer.  Just last weekend she forgot to bring shoes for a weekend at the cottage, so my mothering skills are not entirely irrelevant just yet. But back to the zucchini flowers. The shopkeeper suggested that people buy them so that they can stuff and deep fry them, and when I got to googling I found this recipe that looked interesting.  A little unhealthy, yes, but I'm always more open to clogging the arteries of guests rather than my own family, and we were having friends for dinner and I needed an appetizer (sorry Mel and Bryan).  I prepared the recipe almost exactly as written, but I'll recap below so that you don't have to go to the trouble of clicking over to another window. Goat Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Flowers 1C all-purpose flour 1C sparkling water (plus a little more) Kosher salt 8 zucchini flowers 1/3C soft goat cheese 2Tbsp cream cheese (I used this as directed, but not sure it's critical to buy a whole $4 tub of it for this recipe.  Use your judgement) 2Tsp cream 1Tbsp fresh basil, chopped 1 green onion, chopped Vegetable oil, for frying Directions: Mix filling ingredients in a small bowl.  Gently spoon filling into the bowls of the flowers, twisting the tops of the petals to close. Heat a pan full of oil over med-high heat for a few minutes.  Combine flour and sparkling water in a bowl so that it is runny enough to easily coat flowers
