Zucchini

[cjsmith]

OK, you guys are all going to laugh at me when I say this, but next summer I want to try growing zucchini.

I'm serious. It's great with beef, tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a stir fry. It's lovely sliced up and steamed with yellow squash with nothing more than some pepper on it. It's probably going to be scrumptious in this cream-of soup I've got in the crock pot right now. I like zucchini bread and would make some now except I shouldn't eat any. I even plan to try scraping strips off it with a peeler and serving it like pasta. (Hey. No making fun of a desperate woman. I haven't had pesto, marinara, or alfredo in months.)

Anybody have a lot of zucchini they don't know what to do with? I can help out. I'm generous that way.

Yeah, but the baseball bats taste like cardboard and have the texture of wood. I don't really want that much cellulose in my diet. The little ones are worth money... The big ones aren't worth taking even free.

Wow, really? Maybe I haven't ever eaten a *truly* big one, then... or else I haven't had them side by side to compare. Now I feel better about purchasing the little guys, though! :-)
