Zucchini Fritters & Goat Cheese Sauce from Italy

This is the apron that my husband wore last night.

It was a logical choice; it’s clearly the most masculine apron that I own. I knew he would enjoy the burlap style fabric. And Italia? That’s kewl. He’s kewl.

He went to go put the apron on. He stopped. Set down the apron. Walked to the window and closed the shades. I reconsidered asking for a picture.

Now, to the ultimate question: Why?

Someone needed to bravely confront the hot, splattering oil that was far too intimidating dangerous for this girl. Yes, indeed. He’s a hero like that.

And because of his heroism, we were able to enjoy these golden, crispy zucchini fritters.
