The question becomes, what do I do with a zucchini that is large enough to have its own zip code? No need to tell me I should have picked it months ago when it was "just the right size," okay? It was sort of hiding in giant leaves, alright so I saw it, but I kept thinking, "what am I going to do with a giant zucchini?" and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. Not only that but there are two more not quite so giant ones to deal with, as well. It's a happy little vegetable, maybe I will let it sit in the chair and chat at it. Rather than the crazy cat lady (cats make me itch, I like zucchini better), I will become known as the crazy zucchini lady.
How many cups of grated zucchini do you think I can get out of my 3 zucchini harvest?
I'm trying to figure out what to make from my bounty, and this is what my research has yielded:
Zucchini bread (love it, but perhaps not 232 pounds worth of the stuff).
Zucchini coins where you peel it, cut it in rounds, mine would be zucchini $20 pieces, and fry it--can anyone say 'grease face break out?'
Stuffed zucchini, okay, I could invite everyone I know and have them invite everyone they know and maybe we could gag down all my zucchini stuffed with sausage, carrots, onions, and garlic in a cheese sauce (that's how I like my stuffed zucchini).
Zucchini casserole, such as zucchini, chicken, and rice; lemon zucchini pound cake (this one doesn't sound too bad, but why is it listed under casseroles...and it makes 16 servings, and it's just me right now...how many pounds would I gain if I ate 1/4 of a cake every day for 4 days, do ya think...but wait, it's a vegetable cake, that makes all the difference, I'm just sure of it), herbed grilled vegetables--if I had a grill, I might try this one, too, the picture is beautiful...I think I lost the zucchini casserole thread and went somewhere else.
For right now, my happy zucchini is sitting in Mom's rocking chair (it actually sits taller in the chair than Mom does). It's looking out the window and enjoying the view while I figure out what to do. If you come for a visit, you're not allowed to comment on the zucchini in the chair unless you bring a recipe. For zucchini.
