Pickles by Brian Crane for October 16, 2024

That’s an infestation

Hyperactive gardener. Maybe Earl will train Roscoe to reduce the size of her zucchini patch.

I’d take all three. I love zucchini!

hello, Dominos!

Crankshaft® must have paid them a …… visit!!!

;-)

The kitchen apocalypse.

I’d go out for my meals until the fridge no longer had zucchini.

I like zucchini, too, but not THAT much…

Put most of them in the Compost heap that’s where they’re going to end up anyway

you can always tell a man with no friends—he’s buying zucchini at the grocery!

In our area there’s an old saying: “If you have no zucchini you have no friends."I tried a compact zucchini this year: “Space Miser". The fruits were as thick as my thumb and about 5” long. Chopped up well into carrot sized rounds so great for stir fries/tomato dishes. The overgrown ones were thick as your fist and still short as your hand. Saves a lot of zucchini angst.

Squash Omelet ? IDTS

Looks like Opal has been gardening of late!

Grilled, breaded and fried or zucchini bread please.

Spouse steamed some zucchini last night: Sliced into 5mm rounds, tossed with some rosemary and thyme and steamed in a basket for several minutes. Served w/ a bit of butter.

Not bad, but not knock-you-down delicious either

It’s obvious, you should make pickles out of them. If they still persist, graduate to courgette quiche, then zucchini pie.

Not bad, but not knock-you-down delicious either. I prefer stir-fried w\ onion and some spιces.

Crankshaft’s other growing plot?

Roscoe, guess what’s for dinner!

“Some zucchini ice cream, maybe.”

Mom used to make zucchini bread… it was the only way she could get us kids to ingest the stuff we considered as loathsome and “ucky.” Apparently some tastes change when you get older… love the stuff now.

Coming soon to a theatre or streaming, ‘Attack of the Killer Zucchini!’.

The Pickle’s Home is now Zucchini House.

Zucchini doesn’t have enough flavor to love or hate. But it does go well with a lot of different recipes.

Yuck

Earl needs to squash those options

My wife put the zucchini plants on pots this year, it really reduced the excess.

Every year it’s the SAME thing……… they can’t GIVE that stuff away.!!!!
