when my head is cleared or a fight ends everything
becomes one of my favorites - the blue dinosaur bank
megan painted at a ceramics shop for my nineteenth birthday.
my grandmas white shawl-sweater with two missing
buttons. the velvet underground andy
warhol record. i cling to things like theyd all have
vanished if i hadnt worked it out.

2 1/2 c grated zucchini
1 c peeled and shredded potatoes
1 c shredded carrots
1/2 t salt
3 eggs lightly beaten
fresh pepper
3/4 c matzo meal
1/2 c chopped fresh parsley
1/2 c crumbled feta
1/4 c vegetable oil

Place the zucchini, potato and carrots in a colander,
place paper towels or a cheesecloth over the top and squeeze out as
much moisture as possible. Sprinkle salt over the vegetables and let them drain for
15 minutes. Squeeze vegetable again in paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, vegetables, salt
and pepper. Mix well. Stir in matzo meal or flour, parsley and feta
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Place
vegetable mixture, formed into pancake sized cakes in hot oil and fry until
golden brown on both sides. (Cook two to three minutes per side). Add more oil
as needed to keep cakes frying up well. Drain fried latkes on paper towels
