Any zucchini is too much!

Even the sharks will refuse it.

I sub zucchini for cucumber in salads. I like cucumbers but they do not like me, so to speak. So send the little gardener to me—I’ll make good use of them all! :-)

Send it my way please! I have never gotten tired of any fresh vegetable! :)

It seems that my mother once had the same problem with green beans. I never did like green beans, but now I really, really can’t stand them.

Good morning, Crew!

Any zucchini bigger around than a US Quarter Dollar is too big.

IF ONLY…….a patch of zucchini in the yard would keep the deer off of everything in our yard….but, they probably hate it, too.

My mom had that problem until she discovered that blending up a large zucchini created lots of liquid which she then frozen and kept for making bread. She substituted zucchini water for regular water in yeast bread recipes (white or whole wheat) and you couldn’t tell the difference (either in kneading, baking or eating). Just blend the whole thing up – no need to strain it (well, cut off the two ends first).

A friend is in the same boat. :) However, we’ve been the lucky recipient of many truly yummy loaves of zucchini bread. Banana, chocolate, walnut spice…..I started providing the flour, nuts and sugar because she was making so many. We freeze them.

I knew a guy who planted six zucchini plants because he wanted six zucchini. People were avoiding him for quite a while.

Zucchini Bread, or occasionally the little Fried Zucchini slices (Onion ring batter coating) can be very delicious. But I would not want a steady diet of either one.

For a job this important, the rabbits use real muscle — with a sword in each fist… er each foot.

It has been said that one zucchini plant will feed a neighborhood.

Oh good gracious! Zucchini is WONDERFUL if you know how to use and prepare it! And also very healthy!

GOOD evening Crew!

Well, more zucchini for those who like it. (I wouldn’t know, myself … )

Good Evening, Crew.

Love zucchini bread season! Bake, slice, wrap, freeze. The drained out juice is great base for sauce and soup.

Time for rabbit stew and hasenpfeffer.

does no one know how to throw the unwanted zucchini in the compost pile?
