tacos de calabacín/zuquini… mmmmmmm

Just wait for a zucchini to pop out of her stomach like in the alien movie.

Sell them!

I have a half-ton of grated zucchini in my freezer. My sister-in-law gave it to me six years ago and I still don’t know what to do with it.

Her cooking goes from bad to worse!

what flavor ice cream, Zucchini?

I’ve never had a Zucchini anything. My mom and my grandmother both hated Zucchini so they never cooked anything with it.

So what if they go bad? I do not understand the mania about eating up all the food one has whether one wants (or needs) it.

People forget two things:- the Italians started stuffing zucchini flowers as a way to prevent getting a a gazillion zucchinis - you don’t have to let them grow to maturity, pruning back it perfectly ok

This reminds me of an old joke:You can tell a person that has no Friends if they have to buy zucchini.

Food bank…

there really are zucchini desert pie recipes

I think I’ll skip dessert tonight.

On the positive side it could have been eggplant.

I actually make zucchini tacos! Cut the zucchini in half, scrape out the seeds to make a “boat” and roast it in the oven for 20 minutes. Then stuff it with your favorite taco fillings. Sooooo good! I think it’s better than traditional tortilla tacos. But that’s just me.

The surprise? More zucchini!

I was thinking zucchini pudding…

I would’ve said, “Then let ’em go bad.”

How can something as bad as zucchini go bad? It is already bad.

Zucchini Bread is delicious – it’s actually more like a sweet cake.

Unfortunately, I don’t even think a dog would help Paige out with this.

I loved zucchini as we grew it also but zucchini pie with ice cream….I DON’T THINK SO!

This is so silly, it just made me laugh.

Too late, they’ve already gone bad

I’ve got a receipe for zuccini

1. Graciously accept from your neighbor the zucchini which he planted far too much than he’ll ever use and doesn’t know how to cook it.2. Peel the zucchini, making sure to save the peelings for your neighbor’s compost pile which he keeps to grow those big beautiful tomatoes which he uses to bribe you to take the zucchini3. Cut tine zucchini into 1-inch chunks and boil them in unsalted water until tender.4. Mash the zucchini as you would potatoes, but don’t add butter are cream. Allow to cool.5.Afte dark put the mashed zucchini on your neighbor’s compost pile.
