My Zest for Zucchini

This is my zucchini plant from last year.

I love zucchini.

I miss zucchini.

I can't wait til I can plant my zucchini this year.

Store bought isn't the same.

Who knows when it was picked and so far I have not found any organic zucchini near me and since some zucchini is GMO and it is not labeled, I choose to wait for my garden zucchini.

Last year a squirrel munched on all my plants.

I had to go buy some replacement plants.

Darn squirrel!

You normally think of bunnies or deer in the garden.

But, no!

It was a squirrel.

We had to buy some squirrel corn to feed it in the spring.

Just so it would leave my plants alone.

Combines don't miss as much field corn as they used to.

What kind of crap is that?

In the past, we'd just walk the fields after harvest and get buckets of the stuff.

I guess when you pay a few hundred thousand dollars MORE for something, it is a better product.

Who knew?

Anyway, back to zucchini-

I do everything with zucchini.

Let me rephrase that, Al Penwasser.

I cook zucchini in every way possible.

I use it in pizza crust, double chocolate zucchini bread, sauteed, grilled and the list goes on and on and on and...

You get the idea.

My parents never grew zucchini when I grew up.

Mom didn't like it so I never got a chance to know it.

I guess I am making up for all those years I didn't get to eat my beloved zucchini.

Now, they grow it to sell at the farmer's market.

I'd like to thank anyone that has started following or gave my little blog a chance with a read.

It is much appreciated.

Happy A-Z!
