Sounds like a somewhat crappy Italian romance/porn novel.

There do seem to be a lot of seeds involved. ;p

I have a recipe that you can can them and they taste like crushed pineapple :)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Well, that makes me curious certainly. Zucchini relish was suggested, and I've never tried that. We had a large one stuffed last night, and it was good. Also zucchini muffins (I find the usual zucchini bread much too sweet.)

It really does taste like crushed pineapple :)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I thought maybe pineapple juice was the key. I may just give this a try. I have the jars and the canner, would just have to get the juice. I even have a shredding attachment for my Kitchen-Aid. :D

*giggles* The humble zucchini... scourgette of the kitchen garden!

*groans*

For that one I should sneak by and leave a bushel or two on your doorstep.

Also a time-honoured tradition.

I've heard the joke about North Dakota, but it seems to fit many places.

"Make sure to roll your car windows up and lock the car doors."

"I thought crime wasn't a problem around here."

"Oh, nobody will steal anything. But they will fill the back seat with surplus zucchini if you aren't careful."

Sorta like Garrison Keillor's old joke about tomatoes, and how at the end of the season they are just sort of hanging out all over, on the steps, on the porch rail, on the kitchen window sill, by the phone in the dining room as if waiting to make a call...

Our tomatoes are still green though, for the most part. The zucchini, on the other hand, are invading.

*shreds the Z's into a kind of noodle concoction and
adds sauce*

There, not so scary!

^_^

Yes, that works. I'm thinking about zucchini parmegiano, like you do with eggplant but only with zucchini instead. That oughta be good.

Wishes ya wernt on the other side o the continent ;p

[bladehorse.livejournal.com]

That Is very good! (damn wishes i picked up a spagetti squash!) YUM!

Re: Wishes ya wernt on the other side o the continent ;p

Heh. Well, I probably think too much about food, actually. But these things are good and of course they always come all at once. Leave one on the vine just overnight sometimes and it will turn into a veritable zeppelin.

Dear Rider,

Oh but I have a really really BIG zucchini just waiting for you. Hurrr.

*wink*

Imp

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Hurr-rr-rr indeed. One of those black magic ones, no doubt instead of the ordinary green kind.

Zucchini Frenzy!!

*ties a napkin around his neck and flies at the Zucchinis with a knife and fork*

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Oh good, that's just what we need. I hope you're really hungry. ;p

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

*Gobbles said zucchinis, it is a gruesome sight.*

[altivo.livejournal.com]

*covers his eyes*

OMG! It's a zucchini massacre. There's bits of green skin everywhere...

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

*shout's his triumph in a blood curdling meow*

The Zuccini Song Chorus! (Swallow your Faces!)

Oh! What a bueaty!
I haven't seen one as big as that before.
Oh, Oh! What a Bueaty!
It must be two foot long or even more.
Oh, it's such a lovely color,
So Big and round and fat.
I've never seen a Zuccinni
Grow quite as big as that!
Oh, oh! What a bueaty!
I've never seen one as big as that before!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Umm. Definitely tacky. ;p

[kensan-oni.livejournal.com]

Blame Tim Curry. :D

[altivo.livejournal.com]

I guess that fits. XD
