The Food Nanny
August3/4 2010
Meal 1: Summer Squash Latkes, Cucumber-Yogurt Salad, Persian Rice
• Mix the latke batter and season it with salt. This was omitted to avoid wateriness. Heat a generous amount of oil (not olive) in a sauté pan. When hot and nearly smoking add a dollop to the pan and flatten with the back of the spoon. Portion 3 latkes per share. After about 2 minutes flip the latkes and cook the other side. It should be golden brown. Serve hot.
• When the latkes are done add some olive oil to the pan and heat it to medium hot. Add the rice and quickly fry it to heat it up and make it unctuous.
• Serve the cucumber salad chilled.

Meal 2: Big Fat Burritos and Latin Cole Slaw
• Heat the burrito in the oven at 350° for about 10 or until just hot and toasty.
• Season the slaw with salt as this was omitted to avoid wateriness. Serve the slaw chilled.
