Pickles by Brian Crane for October 26, 2020

Love the way my sister makes zucchini…

I love zucchini. I can’t digest cucumbers well and so substitute them with zucchini in things such as salads. Deep fried zucchini is my favorite way to prepare this vegetable. That’s heaven on a plate. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good! :-)

Simple fix.. yep

at least they weren’t lima beans (even Alexander hated them during his terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day)

Smart save….

Zucchini bread is delicious and freezes well. Great little gift to take to those who are house-bound.

Slice the zucchini and fry it medium high. Add lemon juice when it’s almost done.

Local folks often grow it in their garden, so it must be good, but I don’t remember ever having it!

Earl you are how old and cannot tell the difference between a spud or a squash ?

You can stuff it with sausage stuffing and bake….you’re welcome!

No. No they are not.

I think the Food Network would have a winner with a new crossover legal show called “Misidentified Food Divorce Court”.

“I have to say, it really threw me off that the potatoes tasted like zucchini… As long as the coffee doesn’t taste like motor oil, we’re good!”

About the only way I like zucchini is in a tomato sauce. Del Monte makes it, but it’s hard to find, so I can my own.

That’s ok ……. I’ll just read yesterdays . SAD !!

Zucchini makes a surprisingly good (and healthy) lasagna. You substitute zucchini slices for the lasagna noodles. (Don’t tell Garfield)

Delicious…for zucchini.

A friend once tried to share a recipe with me for Mock Pineapple made from zucchini. It was a lengthy recipe, requiring a lot of ingredients, but by the end of it, the zucchini slices ended up looking like and presumably tasting like pineapple. I mentioned the fact that it would be a lot cheaper and easier just to go buy a can of pineapple. By the way, deer love zucchini. Throw your surplus zucchini out for the deer…

Let’s admit it. Zucchini is not everyone’s favorite vegetable. It may taste good mixed with something else, but alone…maybe not.

There are a lot of ways to cook zucchini and I like them all. Probably my favorite vegetable.

Just pulled up my zucchini plant. It stopped producing early this year. Still getting tomatoes though? Must be a 2020 thing!

As kids, we ate zucchini fried with flour on it all summer at lunchtime. Man, was that good. My mom also put zucchini in her potato pancake batter. It really was good.

Not a big fan of cooked zuccini..but like it raw, sprinkled with a little salt.

So… good zucchini = bad potato…

Please pass a stick of butter.

When we went to Hope for free veggies and fruit, zucchini was part of the group, I thought not turning into bread, so I did peel the skin and baked it and added seasoning tasted great and healthy. I cannot have fried. Loved the fruit we received and the veggies helped.

Earl may a senior citizen but his mind is as sharp as “they are delicious.” What a cool oldDude!

It’s been scientifically proven. Zucchini is the source of all evil on the planet.

You like zukes? Ask Charlie from Overboard. He usually has tons of them!

When I was a kid, someone told us that a researcher used food coloring to make purple mashed potatoes. A lot of the test subjects reported they had a bad taste, and didn’t want to eat them.

(From Ripley’s BION), zucchini and pumpkin are cultivars of the same species of squash.
