For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 05, 2019

I bought a zucchini (or courgette in UK English) and a zuc/cour bread mix; haven’t made the bread or muffins yet.

When it comes to Elly’s cooking, the Pattersons have developed a sense of “eating the lesser evil.”

Well Elly, I make you a deal. I will take both off of your hands and if you will bake me some more I will come do the kitchen cleanup for you this week.

Make sense.

Hint, hint, Elly.

And this is where Michael gets it from!

Wonder why Mrs Enjo hadn’t thought to make zucchini muffins herself straight out of her garden instead of going around the neighborhood to give the vegetable? They are plenty of zucchini recipes.

I had zucchini spirals (“spagetti”) with pasta sauce for dinner this evening. I love it. Never had so much zucchini in 1 season since getting a spiralizer gadget.

Honesty in action — sort of.

MICHAEL ATE SOME OF THE MUFFINS.

zucchini bread is my favorite :-)

…and that’s when the fight started.

Why don’t you just leave her alone and let her do what she wants to do.

My wife makes a zucchini casserole that’s basically lasagna with slices of zuc instead of noodles.

I loathe zucchini. That said, my bff’s father made a mince (ground beef) dish with it that I did like, haven’t had it in many years, though I did find a recipe that was similar. I may torture my family with it someday ;)

Zucchini cookies were always a hit at home and at school. I remember people actually trying to trade me various things from their lunches for the zucchini cookies I brought.

Having said that , I think Elly above would have done better making a ratatouille instead of a zucchini based casserole, which I could see being very bland and colourless on its own. A nicely made ratatouille will, as the cartoon movie hinted at, make you smile :)

My Mom used to make zucchini bread. Sort of like banana bread I think. Frankly, I just slap some butter and jelly on it and call it a day.

Was there ever a time where the Enjos ever shown having an Asian meal?

I love zucchini!!!!!!!

I can take it or leave it. I’ve had awesome zucchini bread and some that was pretty awful. I like it raw and crunchy and cut up in a salad. I’ve not had a casserole made well enough to be palatable although I know there are some good recipes out there. Maybe I just don’t associate with the right cooks.

Of course. Even Zucchini can taste good with enough sugar in the mix.

I have been grating zucchini into a good bottled pasta sauce and cutting up some mushrooms to sneak more veggies into our meals.

hahahaha! Right?

Is Elizabeth old enough to drink wine with her daddy yet?

You’re gonna be wearing that casserole John.

It ( cauliflower pizza crust) is amazing actually.
