Meagan, thanks for the link — I’m definitely going to check that out, as well as your recipes. Thanks!

Cole, I’ve heard so many variations of that joke since moving to Iowa, but somehow never heard it before…funny! And that Kingsolver book is on my coffee table — it’s coming shortly in the rotation…

Jenjen, that sounds so delicious!

I have been letting my zucchini get big this summer because I found the best way to cook them ever!
Zuke fries! OMG. I have never been a big fan of zukes but holy cow I cant quit eating these. You gotta have a big zuke, put it on the mandolin and juliene it to about the size of mcdonalds fries. deep fry and then salt with garlic flavored sea salt. crisp buttery deliciousness. the garlic sea salt also rocks on tomatoes.

I love in Barbara Kingsolvers book Animal Vegetable Miracle that farmers call the ones that get HUGE….Heavers, as in you heave them over the fence to let the wild critters eat them because who in their right mind could eat a 3 foot zuch?

quick joke from PHC on NPR,

Why do lutherans lock their car doors when they go to church?

Because they are afraid someone might but some squash in the front seat.

ha.

Robin, yes…I mean, it’s interesting and all, but not prizeworthy when it comes to cooking it!

Steven, I will watch for those candidates, for sure. Planning to scope for hand-shaking baby kissers!

I love finding those ginormous zucchinis. Have fun at the Fair, but beware of roving Presidential Candidates.

My husband is always so very impressed when I wheel in a foot-long zucchini. “Whoa. That’s amazing. Congratulations!!!!” Like I did something to be proud of. Silly man…

Libby, you know, I don’t know that I’ve actually ever tried chocolate zucchini bread. But…since I’m going to the Fair tomorrow, I’m not going to stop at the market in the morning…I have big plans for my calorie expenditure, but I’m saving it all up for later in the day!
