I really hate clutter- so much so that I throw things away by mistake and then rage around the house looking for them later but that is neither here nor there. So this past Christmas, instead of giving Walker some toy or thing that will just clutter up his room, we very selflessly gave him a trip, and last Friday, Corby, Walker and I went down to Atlantis in the Bahamas for the long weekend. See what I mean- super selfless. It was such a drag to leave to cold for 3 days to sit in the warm sun by the most spectacular blue water. Anything for the kids, right? We had the best time. My brother and sister also joined in on the “no stuff” Christmas for Walker and gave him excursions while we were down there, so one morning he swam with the dolphins and the next we went snorkeling through the “ruins” of Atlantis. Of course, while we were there we had to try some local food, and what better than conch. Here is a great recipe for conch fritters- a little taste of the Bahamas. Walker absolutely loved them- enjoy!
Conch Fritters
Ingredients:
In a bowl, mix the flour, egg, and milk. Season with cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper. Mix in the conch meat, onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic.
Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the ketchup, lime juice, mayonnaise, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Serve dipping sauce on the side with the fritters.
