Came into the kitchen in grad school and found my apartment mate at work. I asked her what she was doing. She replied she was making a zucchini dish for her boy friend. I asked why she was peeling cucumbers.

She was brilliant in the classroom… In the kitchen? Not so much.

They’re in a pickle!

I’ll bet the zucchini wears white socks with sandals in the summer.

Years ago, I recall a friend of mine attending a zucchini festival. Among other things, he came away with a bumper sticker that declared “No Cucus!”

Once you’ve been pickled, you can never be a cucumber again.

Some like to get pickled. I like to get fried, man. Who’s got the oregano?

I believe I went to Zucchini on vacation years ago.

I make a very good vegetarian lasagna using either zucchini or eggplant.

It’s not that big of a dill.
